Sri Lanka - Day 1
3 planes and 48 hours latter we arrived in Colombo at 5am. After sorting out our luggage, money exchange and phone we hired a taxi to take us to our hotel in the north eastern part of town.

Sri Lanka - Day 2

“Stylish but terrible service”
Reviewed Mar 21, 2011
The rooms are very clean if somewhat bare. Concrete beds, polished concrete walls and floors. No hot water for our 3 days stay there and the staff and management could not give a toss for the guests. Such a shame because it could be a nice place
