    I gotta say, I definitely got my money's worth at this hotel. The room was cozy and clean, and the staff treated me like a VIP. Plus, the location was super convenient, close to all the major sights.

    The breakfast experience could have been better with more fruit options.

    The staff at Cityrest Fort were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect for catching an early morning train, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We even had our own plug for charging our devices, which was very convenient. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a pleasant stay.

    Great complementary breakfast with lots of choices and attentive chef. The staff was always cleaning and helpful with directions and recommendations. The location was very convenient for exploring the city center.

    The room was quite small and the bathroom facilities were basic.

    Our romantic escape was made even better thanks to the friendly and helpful staff. We particularly liked the delicious breakfast and the cozy rooftop. the location of the hotel was also perfect for exploring the area and experiencing the nightlife. Plus, the ice cream provided on hot days was a nice touch.

    Our room was not up to our standards. We had trouble with the locker and had to go down to reception to store our bags.

    I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hidden gem. The location was perfect, within walking distance of the train station and plenty of restaurants. The staff were incredibly helpful, arranging airport transfers and even assisting with my delayed luggage. The cleanliness of the dorm and bathrooms was commendable. The WiFi service was reliable and the affordability of meals in nearby restaurants was a definite plus. I highly recommend this hostel for its great location and helpful staff.

    This hotel is situated on a vibrant alley which makes for easy access to the bustling Galle Face area. the room was fantastic - it had a beautiful view and was cleaned daily, plus the friendly staff would go above and beyond to make sure guests' needs were met. the breakfast was superb with a generous spread of local and Western dishes to choose from. This hotel features a relaxing pool and a modern gym perfect for business travelers or fitness enthusiasts.

    Some of the facilities looked outdated.
