What guests loved the most

“All staff were very friendly and welcoming and even went out of their way to help with our itenary and suggest moving days around so we could see more of Sri Lanka. They organised a driver for our drip at a fraction of the cost that tour operators were charging - the driver is very good! Great views and very comfortable rooms!”

“We stayed at the hotel from Aug 20 to 26, when we attended an official program in Sri Lanka. We really had a wonderful experience staying there. The staff were very helpful. They even helped us find metre taxis and hire a car for a half-day visit to Galle. The location is great-just a street across the Ocean and very near to main city area. The price is also very reasonable compared to the other nearby hotels. I recommend the Ocean Front to anyone visiting Colombo.”

, China

“We stayed here for one night. The rooms are nice and big. Also the bathroom is very clean and good. We had here our best shower during our trip in Sri Lanka. The staff is very friendly. As we had a late flight we requested a late checkout. Unfortunately that was not possible but we could take a shower and that was everything we needed. Great place to end or start your trip in Sri Lanka.”
