Find hotels in Colombo Port Area

I stayed in this hotel for four nights. The location of this hotel is very good. It is around 400 meters from Central Bus Terminus (both private and Govt. bus terminus are adjacent to each other) of Colombo. Further 200 meters from this Central Bus Terminus is Fort Railway Station. Airport bus no. 187 starts directly from this Central Bus Terminus. Bandarnaike International Airport is 32 km from this center of Colombo. The location of this hotel is such that wherever people want go either by bus or train, they can go anywhere. The staffs are very good and helpful in this hotel. This hotel has 24 hrs. Reception desk. Rooms are clean and big. The rooms are cleaned everyday but they change towels after a gap of three days. In my room there was problem in hot water shower, but later they have rectified the problem. This hotel has elevator. Views of Colombo Port can be seen from top floor rooms. I have booked through Agoda.com. If you book this hotel online through Agoda.com then only breakfast is included in the room rate. Otherwise it is chargeable and guests have to pay extra. Breakfast is in the first floor. There is no buffet breakfast. They serve slice of bread, egg items, juice, fruit salad, Choco drink, tea or coffee etc. Whatever they serve, it is quite sufficient breakfast for a person. Breakfast room is neat and clean. Timing is between 7 AM to 10 AM. They have provided packed breakfast for me, the day I made a Kandy trip. Even they provided me packed breakfast on request when my flight was after midnight. This is a very good gesture that cannot be forgotten. Overall this hotel is excellent to stay in Colombo in every respect.

Although the hotel is at a very busy road in Colombo, once you are in it is quite comfortable. The lobby area has been refurbished and the rooms are been upgraded. I had my meals twice at the restaurant the local food is well prepared and worth the money. The staff are very friendly accept for a stern looking G.M. there is a bar if you want to chill out with live music on weekends. Comfortable stay will visit again.

Our first night in Colombo, we scrambled around looking for a place, because we had missed our train and needed to spend an unexpected night in Colombo after all. Our first cab took us to the City Hotel instead, which is much more expensive and way out of our budget. Finally, we found a tuk tuk driver who took us from the City Hotel to the City Motel for 50 rupees, and luckily they had an availability. For a walk in, we paid 3,000 rupees total for two people, with our own bathroom and our own room. When we booked online for one night a week later, we paid a little more than half the price, but with no room. The people working there were very helpful and friendly, and accommodated us quite nicely with all our last minute needs. You get what you pay for--it's definitely grungy and lived in, but if you want a premium place, then go to the City Hotel instead and pay premium prices!
