My partner and I had a short stay at this budget-friendly hotel. The Double Room with Shared Shower and Toilet was clean and well-maintained. The A/C worked perfectly with no noise disturbance. The staff was friendly and provided us with towels and linens. The location is extremely convenient, right in front of Liberty Plaza Kollupitiya, with bus stops and various shops nearby. a great value for money and highly recommended.
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

I had a great stay at this budget hotel in Colombo. The room was clean, well maintained, and the A/C was strong without any noise. The staff member who checked us in was friendly and helpful, guiding us about the facilities. The location was central, right in front of Liberty Plaza, with bus stops and various food options within a short walking distance. it was a great value for the money.
The morning meal could be improved by having covers for the food when not in use, for better hygiene.
