Tremendous experience, staying in a historical classic in Colombo. The hotel is showing its age but if you are a traveler looking for unique experiences this is an opportunity to stay in an unspoilt/un modernized colonia era masterpiece. I would stay here again. Colombo is a very safe city and the hotel is conveniently located for walking, or short tuk-tuk rides to other attractions and especially Fort Railway Station.
