My wife and I enjoyed the room's four complimentary water bottles. The coffee was good. I especially appreciated the wide variety of options at the breakfast buffet (it included gluten-free choices!).
The check-in process felt a little slow due to issues with the card machine.

the room was super clean, i guess. i really can't say more.
the bar service was a joke. it took ages to get a drink, and they messed up the order anyway. i asked for a specific wine, but they brought the wrong one and struggled to fix it. it was a special level of incompetence.

The room offered great views of the port area. It also provided convenient access to a shopping center nearby. The Central restaurant provided excellent breakfast. Caring staff created a cute atmosphere.
I found some aspects less satisfactory. There was no welcome drink upon arrival. The plastic toilet seat was a basic issue in the otherwise smart bathroom. The Sri Lankan food quality was disappointing.
