The rooftop bar has a fantastic view. The infinity pool on the roof was well maintained too. The food choices for breakfast included Sri Lankan options (I appreciated this local touch).

The room service was slow. I found the hallway on my floor had a strong cigarette smoke smell. My room also had a damp smell.
