After 3 weeks thrvarious places i Sri Lanka, i stayes here for 3 nights when I needed to return to Colombo. Waje, the manager, was the nicest, most aurhentic, flexible and helpful person I had encountered so far in tne hotel industry here, and maybe beyond. I had to check out before anyone normally comes on duty, and he had the kitchen make me a sack breakfast to go the night before. And when i came downstairs, he was up and waiting anyway. He sent out for English newspapers for me, at their expense, and immediately offered to change my room when the TV stopped working. He gave me sughestions on what and where to avoid. I felt like he cared. It is a 2 *, and generally caters to the local population. If you are good with that, you will be very safe and comfortable here. ( that said, it was much more expensive to book on booking.com, so book.here instead)

This hotel was a 5 minutes walk from the train station. The hotel bedroom is very big and spacious with a huge comfortable bed and very clean. The staff were fabulous and would help with their knowledge and always with a big smile. The food in the restaurant was fabulous and plenty of it and they would even get you a beer from down the road. Would definitely recommend this place.

We were instantly upgraded to a suite room at Shalimar, which was a two storey bedroom with living space, king bed and beautiful slate tiled bathroom. The staff were really helpful and helped us to get the cheapest travel to our early morning flight. The hotel is really clean and nicely furnished and I would definitely stay here again considering the price was so reasonable.

マラダーナ駅すぐ隣にあるこのホテル、コロンボフォート駅やバスターミナルからはほぼ道なりに25分ほど歩くと到着します。バスの路線も多くあるようです。コロンボでは中々適当な宿がない中でこのホテルはかなり良い部類に入ると思います。熱いお湯、エアコン、広く綺麗な部屋、親切なスタッフ、スリランカの地方都市の価格と見合わないホテルやゲストハウスに滞在してからではどれも最高に思えました。レセプションのメガネをかけたおじさんは特に親切にしてくれ、チェックアウト日の深夜のフライトだったため荷物を預けて夜7時頃取りに行くと、無料で部屋のシャワーを使わせてくれ非常に助かりました。もしまたコロンボを訪れることがあるなら、ここに泊まろうと思います。

A traditional style hotel next to Maradana railway station. The rooms are quite big, and spacious. The AC worked fine, although the WiFi struggled occasionally. The staff seemed very friendly and helpful,and assisted as required. There is a restaurant on the ground floor open until 22.00, serving a mix of Indian and Chinese dishes, there is also a bar area. I will stay here again, as it suits my needs, although the local area is not central for many people.

Good value traditional hotel near Maradana railway station. The rooms are very good sized and clean. The bathrooms have individual hot water boilers so always available should you wish. AC in the room was ok and the wifi worked although the signal wasn't the best at times. Friendly and helpful staff who remembered me from previous visits. Laundry took just over a day, but was well done and cheap. They also arranged a car to the airport at a competitive rate. The restaurant was open until 22.00 which is handy as the choices around the area are limited. Beware that rooms at the front will be subject to the associated noise you find here.

A very good budget hotel in Colombo. The service was very good.The local area is nothing special with lots of shops selling car parts. My bathroom was clean, but the bathroom tap only emitted a trickle. For what I paid (30 pounds per night) it represented good value

the Shalimar has seen better days but is quite quiet and comfortable in general. i liked the weird design of my room which was like a sunken garden you went down steps to. (perhaps, however, not everyone's cup of tea). not much happening in da hood, especially after 6pm.

Hotel très bien ! Coup de coeur pour le restaurant Du soir (carry potatos et Nasi goreng) .... un petit bémol personnel un poil envahissant !

Wir haben nur eine Nacht dort verbracht, weil wir von Colombo aus weiterreisen wollten, in den Süden. Das hat super geklappt, denn in wenigen Schritten ist der Bahnhof erreicht. Das Zimmer war gut klimatisiert, Dusche und alles notwendige in gutem Zustand vorhanden. Bei den Taxifahrern war es bekannt, sodass man gut dahin fand. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und merkten später auf unserer weiteren Reise, das der Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel zu den luxuriösesten gehörte. Das Hotel ist zu empfehlen.

空港から街中まで来て、市内公共バス(174番：要確認）に乗り換え、BusStopから歩いてすぐのところにあった。MaradanaRailway（マラダナ）鉄道駅から2～3分の位置なので、マラダナ駅を目指せば空港からバスでこれる。旧市街観光地区Fort(フォート)駅へも1駅。フォート駅出て左手に行くと旧市街、オールド･ダッチ･ホスピタルやワールド･トレード･センター。右手に行くと空港へのExpressBus(国営:１時間に1本・民間Bus多数。国営バスセンターの反対側）の乗り場のあるセントラルバスセンター(ペター市場隣)に歩いていける。フォート駅より列車で先に行くとRiverty他のShoppingMall近くの駅へ行ける。新市街は海岸沿いに発達。旧市街は全般にさびれているが、このホテルは鉄道を利用してどちらも便利に行ける。ホテル室内は快適。古いが設備は整って綺麗で、くつろぐことができる。かつては栄えた高級ホテルのイメージ。部屋前に座る椅子があり、中庭を見ながらくつろげる。機材の手入れはしっかりしていて綺麗。ホテルのレストランは、良心的な値段でおいしい。従業員は親切でfriendly。コロンボに来るならまた泊まりたい。
