    Improvements - in the restaurant area, coffee and tea making facilities to be a bit more secure and spacious. To cater more for western tastes as opposed to locals - ie more cereals and yogurts. At time a bit too tight for numbers. Pay more attention to health and safety around the tea/coffee area. Milk gets very hot, better signs to indicate this. When floors are being mopped, to use wet floor sign so people are aware.

    Colombo is now getting better after a recession few years back. They are on a speedy recovery. There are lots of places you can visit for sightseeing. If you are going on a business trip, Colombo is an ideal space for staying as they have all the good locations (especially importers and huge markets). Better book private hire through a car company, it's way cheaper if you want to explore the city. Walking is also a good option.

    Beautiful city with clean and green infrastructure. Recommended for Indians to visit. Shopping was good (Visited - One face mall, City Center mall, Havalock city mall). Galle face location was great to spend some time with family. Independent square, Gangarama Buddhist temple, Lotus tower tourist spots were nice. 2 days is enough to cover Colombo city.

    Havelock Garden BNB is very modern with a very pleasing aesthetic feel. It was spacious and had all the amenities you could possibly need. Great location with some great finds on your door step. Bus service, tuk tuks, shopping Mall, with a free ATM outside (inside charges) Sim card shop 50 metres away apx - end of the road. Sky Bar with infinity pool called Me Bar. Great to watch the city light up and it is happy hour 5-7pm - walking distance . To mention but a few. The housekeeper goes above and beyond to ensure you have a comfortable stay and her Sri Lanken Breakfast is delicious and will set you up for the day. We could also have an english breakfast if desired. We would most definitely stay again.

    The city is busy with chaotic traffic.

    The city is busy with chaotic traffic. On the night of the 25th city roads from Colombo 3 to Fort were closed and we did not know. When we got a taxi (Uber and Taxis were not able to reach us) they charged 6 times more than the usual fare. The tuk-tuks often charge foreigners very high fees. Make sure you get into one with a functional meter. There are good places to eat. Don't eat street food because their hygiene habits are questionable. Colombo is reported as a dengue-prone area. So use mosquito repellent. During December, there weren't many. Ask the hotel you stay for taxis or use their local Pickme app. Yet it is often wise to check the agreed fee. Otherwise they charge much higher.

    The room itself was really nice and clean. We have had breakfast delivered to our room a few times and the guy(s) who brought it were very polite. The porter was also very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in a nice quarter of Colombo. We had Sri Lankan dinner a couple of times and it was extraordinarily tasty, especially the Lamprais we can recommend! The laundry service was also very quick and accurate. The hotel is definitely characterized by the pool and the view of the whole city from the top floor.

    The Beehive hotel was fantastic for our quick stay in Colombo. The location of the hotel was fantastic. It was pretty much in the Colombo city center conveniently located in Vajira road near to the Majestic city shopping mall. They had a good air-conditioned room for us for very reasonable price given the area. Mr. Palitha hotel owner was very helpful and he arranged a taxi for us to travel to the train station the next day. Thank you for everything. I will visit again when I come to stay in Colombo.

    Budget hotel with very friendly staff, very good location for travelers not far from the train station and near one of the main avenues where you can find restaurants and means of transport. It is located at a short walking distance to the National Gem and Jewelery Authority of Sri Lanka, which makes it an option for those who are involved in the export of precious stones. The room was clean and with air conditioning very suitable for a short stay to rest and continue the journey.

    I’ve been travelling around Sri Lanka and have even stayed at top end five star hotels with amazing staff. When I checked into Rockwell Colombo I had the pleasure of meeting a staff filled with superstars. Fiona Fernando, Inusha jayawardana, and Lahiru Gayan by far have been the best hosts. They made my stay at Rockwell Colombo with as much comfort as I would get in my own home. I am happy to have stayed here and become a part of the Rockwell family. God Bless these folks :)

    The hotel is well positioned to do sightseeing. It is in the heart of the old town of Colombo. Best of all, it is adjacent to the old Hospital Shopping precinct where there are many restaurants to choose from. The hotel itself has a dutch pub and Java coffee house attached to it. We stayed here for a couple of nights before flying back to Sydney. It was reasonably priced. But in reality, it's a hotel that caters mainly for coach tours and the like.

    We had opted for a sea view room. What we got was a corner room with a splendid view of the sea from two sides. The location was also a big plus and the hotel was a short tuktuk/cab ride from most of the places we wanted to go to in Colombo. There is a thin beach right across the road (50 steps or so) so you really don't have to travel far to meet the sea. All common areas, rooms and washrooms were clean and the AC in the room worked as expected.

    We had only half a day to explore colombo. The location of the hotel is the best part of this hotel. It is located adjacent to old dutch hospital shopping precinct where world famous restaurant 'Ministry of crab' is located and it is also at walking distance of galle face green. All touristy must see places are in vicinity of this hotel. Airport is just 25 min from this hotel. For short stay, this place bang on the buck for your money's worth.
