    The rooms at City Hotel in Colombo were truly comfortable and cozy. I felt right at home with the air conditioning and flat-screen TV. The city view from my room was absolutely stunning, making my stay even more enjoyable. With all the amenities like a fridge and kettle, everything I needed was right at my fingertips. I couldn't have asked for a better experience as a guest.

    The only thing I didn't particularly enjoy was the bathrobes in the private bathroom. But hey, that's just my personal preference.

    We had a rad time exploring all the cool spots in Colombo with City Hotel as our epic base. We hit up the awesome Galle Face Green for some chill vibes and street food, and the wild Pettah market for some serious bargain hunting. The room was comfy and had everything we needed, like AC to beat the heat and cable TV for those late-night rela.

    The hotel offered clean rooms with AC and a small refrigerator. The location was great, as it was close to the bus and train stations, making it convenient for travelers. Another advantage was the friendly and helpful manager, who made sure our needs were met during our stay.

    The entrance to the hotel was a bit difficult to find, with a small dark alley leading to the hotel on the third or fourth floor. there were no nearby places to eat, requiring a bit of a walk to find a café or restaurant.

    The staff at this conveniently located hotel are friendly and helpful. The area around the hotel is bustling with friendly locals. The room on the 4th floor was quiet and had a window to the corridor. Breakfast was good and the owner accommodated our early breakfast request.

The hotel is centrally located, within walking distance of the city center and close to airport connections. I would recommend this hotel for its great location and friendly staff.

    The hotel is conveniently located, being quite close to the train station and just near the Pettah bus station. This makes it a great choice for travelers who need easy access to public transportation. The rooms are comfortable and the staff is helpful and friendly. The facilities in the room, such as the mini refrigerator and flat screen TV, provide extra convenience for guests.

    The entrance to the hotel can be confusing due to the lack of signs.

    We had a wonderful stay at this city hotel. Located in the heart of the bustling market district, it offered us a real insight into everyday Sri Lankan life. The owner, a lovely guy, warmly welcomed us with tea and homemade biscuits. The room was clean, tidy, and had its own private toilet and shower. It was basic but perfect for a couple of nights' stay. We were impressed with the comfortable bed, and the fridge and kettle in the room were unexpected bonuses. The hotel's location near the bus and train stations made it convenient for exploring the city. We even saved money on airport transportation thanks to the owner arranging a tuk-tuk for us at a discounted rate. We would definitely stay here again.

    Can't fault the property in any way. 👍
