    Location just off the brilliant Isso restaurant, Bentota, and the main sites. For tea or coffee visit Raxawa Tea Lounge nearby.

    Convenient location near local train station, making transportation easy. Helpful and accommodating staff allowed us to store our bags and use a shower before our flight. Clean room with pleasant decor, free water and treats provided. Good facilities including TV, WiFi, and air conditioning. a satisfying stay in Sri Lanka.

    the Residence, as it is called, is a no, thrills yet extremely clean and well, appointed business hotel. the double room, although a bit small, had a comfortable, enormous bed and a compact en, suite bathroom. the TV was superb, and there was a writing desk as well as amenities for making tea or coffee. the manager, Imran, was wonderfully open and friendly, always quick to respond to any need. the location of the hotel was also very convenient, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and prime real estate. Highly recommended. Cons: Nothing not to love! 😊.

    This hotel offers good value for money and has a great location. The basic amenities are provided and the room's bed is very comfortable. The wifi and air conditioning work really well. The breakfast is nice and includes enough fruits.

    The hotel needs to address the noise issues and provide better insulation from outside sounds.

    The hotel's location is convenient as it is close to many shopping centres, supermarkets, and beaches in the city. Guests can easily walk or take a tuk-tuk to various restaurants nearby, like the popular Isso restaurant. the comfortable rooms feature amenities like air conditioning, TVs, and tea and coffee makers, while the staff is friendly and helpful.

    Some guests have reported that the bathroom can be small and cleaning could be done better.

    At Residence, I got great value for my money with a comfortable room and multi-national plug sockets. The location was convenient, with easy access to tuk-tuks, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    The breakfast could be improved with more variety and options.

    This hotel exceeded my expectations in so many ways. the location was perfect for exploring the city with ease. Being situated on a central street made it convenient to access various places of interest. Additionally, the staff's attention to detail was impeccable. From the friendly doormen to Mr. Imran's exceptional service, every member of the team made sure our stay was comfortable and memorable. The newly renovated rooms were a pleasant surprise, with bigger washrooms and comfortable beds. The strong air conditioning and reliable WiFi were also much appreciated.

    While there were some minor inconveniences, such as the construction noise and the lack of a working power generator during the national power cuts, overall, this hotel provided a satisfactory experience.

    I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was plentiful with Sri Lankan-style dishes and options for eggs and toast. The location was convenient, with nice restaurants, a supermarket, and the beach nearby. The hotel offered good wifi and had modern decorations with comfortable bedding.

    Nothing, all was good.

    We loved the comfortable bed and exceptional breakfast at this centrally located, brand new hotel. the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the free snacks in the room were a nice bonus. A great choice for business travellers looking for no-frills accommodation.

    Felt very well, no complaints.
