The hotel was in a great location with plenty of restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. Galle Face Green and the shopping mall just a quick tuktuk ride north. The room, lobby, pool and bathroom were great! The desk staff were absolutely gorgeous and helpful and so lovely - it was honestly the warmest welcome to Sri Lanka and I couldn't have asked...
