Really nice hotel. Outside looks a bit old but very nice on the inside. Wasn't a fan of the green carpets. Most staff are very nice. Only issue is that the colombar is really loud late at night when trying to sleep. Overall i'd come back

Great place to stay on first night in SL

Great stay here on my first night in Sri Lanka. Really clean, modern, and everything you would expect from a hotel of this quality. It's also very close to Colombo Fort station which is useful if you are going to continue the trip by train! I didn't use the pool but had a drink there and it looks great - one note was that the service was quite slow! Breakfast options were vast. Would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely smashing hotel to chill at end of tour of Sri Lanka. Amazing choice of dining options, very friendly staff and pool to die for.
Nigel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Average Rating.

This is a decent hotel but not excellent I would say. Looks old and needs lot of attention to finer aspects of the rooms and building. Location is certainly very good if you have a lake view room. Pool is also good and large. Food is average with very less sitting space as compared to the room accommodation ( I had my B/F standing all the time ). I had to call for proper toilet kits all the time... Over all not very bad but not very good as well... to stay if you get a good price deal.

Panagoda, 15-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Definitely stay here

This is a fancy place, the lobby reminded me of a cruise ship. There was even live music! The swimming pool is large and pristine, and you can watch a variety of birds in the river while you soak in the pool. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the facilities are first class and the dinner buffet is amazing.
Don, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel in general is excellent however they run very loud club style events in the outside restaurant until 1am to 2am and any room facing the lake is almost shaking with the noise, so if you stay and don’t want to party then ask for a room not facing the lake. Zero sleep had after a long haul flight from uk and with early train next day so felt like a very expensive sleepless night.

Rooms look dated. My room had a few flying insects every now and then. Bathroom had multiple steps. Which was inconvenient. Water was too hot to shower.
