“There's a practical appeal to this hotel, clearly designed for those who want Colombo's bustle nearby but appreciate a bit of separation. I like that rooms include kitchenettes, adding a layer of independence to any stay. It seems especially well-suited for visitors who plan to be out and about, using it as a comfortable and functional base.”
