Very quiet with a commanding view of the sea. Breakfast has an excellent spread and the area is just next to the seafront. Staff are very courteous and helpful. ##### Subhash Chandra Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### steve Jan 17, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Bedroom was in poor condition, the air conditioning didn't work overnight, the windows were sealed, the mattress was not comfortable, being hard and feeling the metal springs. Hotel is a nostalgic look back in history and service levels are quite high. ##### steve Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JACQUELINE Nov 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Clean room and courteous staff ##### JACQUELINE Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ewan Dec 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was fabulous and the staff were outstanding.

It has remained one of my favourite hotels in the world. The service is always impeccable, the food delicious, and the views spectacular. It is very convenient and walkable to many different shopping centers, restaurants, and interesting sites. I highly recommend it. ![The bar](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5372fca5-7520-469f-ba9d-9028fbed7594-1765170091951.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beautiful staircase](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/766441e1-903e-4540-b68c-6b463cc7dee4-1765170092695.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Fantastic corridors ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d753b01-6e04-4ad3-80b4-5e13a53a55f3-1765170092717.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Salt water pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/15359b47-131f-49b5-917f-37743abd0b8e-1765170092837.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### M Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Luxurious hotel with charm & character & Amazing sea views.

The only negative thing I have to say is soundproofing could be a little better. The floors are creaky. ##### Joseph Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Riley Oct 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Two night stay and we wish it was longer. Everything about this historic hotel was great. The food was amazing. Very nice and helpful staff. The pool was very clean with views of the ocean. Highly recommend ##### Riley Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raimar Dec 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A place with history, nice architecture. Very nice room with direct ocean facing window. Can open windows and stay off-aircon with fan. Nice small private beach and seawater pool to swim. Unfortunately the LED lighting in the rooms has flicker/strobe effects (reason is the cheapo ac/dc converters built into asian consumer grade lights), this has a subtile stress effect. ##### Raimar Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic historical hotel.

The hotel is child friendly, the staff helpful and efficient, the rooms spacious and well stocked with toiletries and tea/coffee, the breakfast buffet was delectable with a variety of Sri Lankan, continental and English breakfast options, the salt water pool was divine and the beach front views and the sound of the waves was calming to the senses. We felt like we were in paradise. The b’fast, lunch and dinner buffets were all excellent. Loved every minute of the stay. ##### Nisha Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ROBERT Apr 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Great place and location.
