Hotels near Beira Lake

"Walking in was like stepping back to Coronation year, E2R I mean! This grand old lady looks exactly as she would have when our late Queen took possession of the Dominion. It's a beautiful time warp and so inexpensive. Huge rooms, clean, comfortable. The bathrooms are great. A lovely breakfast in the delightful top floor dining room bar looking over the port is not fancy but just what is required. The aircon works well but the water pressure in the shower a bit of a let down but hey, we cope! Ceiling fans would be nice. The public areas are just worth exploring, and it takes up a whole block! Wander the colonnades and discover old Colombo."

"Great hotel with a rich history and a sunset that best in the world "

"Staff were very accomodating and friendly "

"The selection for their morning breakfast buffet is very varied. The staff is busy during rush hour; they seem overwhelmed at times. Their housekeeping standards cannot match those of their properties in Hong Kong or mainland China. The Chinese restaurant Shang Gong is one of the best in the country, and its staff is very attentive and courteous. "

"The property looks lovely in reception. Staff were welcoming on arrival but not so during our stay. Our room was clean but needs maintenance. Toilet leaked water along bathroom floor and curtains not hooked up properly so were too difficult to close. There is a Do Not Disrurb switch in amongst the light switches, unmarked, and ours was accidentally turned on so our room was not cleaned. No compendium in the room so we were unaware of the switch. Housekeeping did come up at 8pm after I called reception and the young man was fabulously helpful and explained the switch to us. Coffee shop is only with alcohol. Bakery cashier was very grumpy and unhelpful. The hotel is in a great position in Colombo but is noisey at night. We didn’t use any restaurants in the hotel. Large shopping centre 10mins walk. "

"Everything you want and more in a beautiful hotel. "

"Excellent "

"Feels like they are after your money. The rooms were ready for early check-in, but they still required 50 USD for us to access the rooms prior to the agreed check-in time. "
