A very decent hotel, good service, a lot of staff and they are always ready to help. A swimming pool on the roof with a view of the ocean and the city, a jacuzzi with hot water, a small garden there. They give you the keys to the room (it is also a pass to the roof and for the elevator - depending on the number of guests). We lived with breakfast included for two days, two days - breakfast + dinner. Good variety, meat, salads, pastries are delicious. There are no juices at breakfast, only tea or coffee. At dinner, drinks are for an additional fee. We think that at least one thing (breakfast or dinner) should be taken, it is unlikely that we will eat in a cafe near our usual food. We left for three days, left our things in the storage room, ordered a taxi to the airport at night upon departure 8200 lkr, yes, a couple of thousand rupees more expensive, but everything was on time and clear. From what we did not see in the reviews: be careful at breakfast if you eat on the restaurant balcony, crows are constantly hunting for bread and buns, we ate on the balcony twice and both times the crows stole buns from the neighbors, not very nice. Cargills grocery store is 3 minutes walk away on the right when exiting Marino Mall (if you stand with your back to the shopping center). In the reviews we also saw bewilderment about the lack of privacy of the bathroom, guys, well, there is an electronic control panel on the wall at the entrance to the bathroom, it closes the curtain if someone is too shy. We stayed in a deluxe both times, but once on the 3rd floor and on the side of the construction site, and the second time on the 6th floor and on the side of Galle Fort. The view in the second case is much better, and the room is just cooler, despite the same type of rooms. Odd rooms face the Galle Fort side, ask for them at the reception, and it is better to choose a floor higher than the 3rd, since the third floor is located above the restaurant kitchen, the smell of food, if you sit on the balcony of the room, may not please everyone. You can smoke on the balcony, there are large vases with sand, you will not disturb anyone with the smell, all balcony doors have a closer and are always closed. Of the little things that need to be corrected, perhaps only the lack of paper napkins in the restaurant and shoehorns in the room, but this is nonsense, of course. We highly recommend the hotel, really worthy, everyone tries, well done.
