2/10 Poor

Prison, solitary confinement. I booked a room with a shower toilet, but when I asked the hotel staff, they said they didn't have one and the shower and toilet were shared. The sheets were old and dirty, and the hotel was under renovation so it smelled like a construction site. The stairs were smelly and there were stains on the walls. I would be happy with half the price for this level. The room was completely different from what I booked, so I reported it to Expedia

ロケーションもよく快適に滞在できた。部屋のドアの解錠(開け方)方法にコツがいるので、到着して最初に部屋に案内された時にスタッフの前で何回か解錠方法を練習した方がいい。シャワーブースのステンレス製石鹸トレーに鋭い部分があり肘に怪我をした。腕を上げるとちょうど肘が当たる部分なので気をつけて。

The hostel is in a great location, close to the train station and lots of great places to eat nearby. But that's the only strong point. Everything else is average at best. The place needs renovation, WiFi doesn't work, cleaning in the shared bathrooms could be improved. But the location is great. So if you are looking for 1 night near the station - this would do.

Breakfast was included in to the price, but the kitchen was under reparation. They gave me 300 rupia as discount. Room was clean and tidy, fan good, walls very thin, excellent location if you travel by bus or train.

The uniqueness was the hotel location and the hotel had absolutely wonderful beds (mattresses.) However, it does not rate as a "4 star, in no way... The top rating would be a '1' star maximum.. I have traveled the globe worldwide (to 113 countries) so I do know what I'm talking about! Also, the hotel owner had cameras everywhere, almost like spying on the guests, which was most unpleasant, but the hotel staff, they were wonderful...

ok!

Location is good, near the main train station and bus terminal but tuk tuk driver said far and ask for 300Rs. Dorm room is relatively small for 4 persons with luggages. Have enough toilets and shower cubicles. Have a rooftop but nothing to see. Free breakfast.

Top-quality service

The location is great if you want to be near Fort railway station. It is within walking distance to the beach as well. The service at check-in and check-out was excellent. They were friendly, helpful, and quick. We had to check-out in the morning before breakfast was served, and the desk clerk had even arranged for box breakfasts to be ready for us. We have a 3 year old, so not having to worry about finding food that early in the morning was quite helpful. The only minor issue was that the bathroom looked a little past its prime. The shelf in the shower was rusty and it looked like the toilet had been repaired without properly cleaning up the adhesive.

Nice location, good service and clean

I stayed CityRest Fort only 6 hours to take a shower and short nap for catching a mid-night flight. I booked a bed in Shared 4 Beds Dormitory. I checked in at the front desk and went into the room... I noticed there was nobody in the room! The man at the front desk was nothing to tell me but he arranged a sort of private room for me! I was able to relax and rest very well. Thank you so, so much for your angement. I'll definitely come back to CityRest Fort when I come to Colombo next time.

駅から徒歩圏内の清潔なドミトリ

コロンボフォート駅から徒歩圏内にあり、清潔な男女別ドミトリでこの値段はありがたい。飲食店も最寄にあり、たいへん便利です。泊まったのは2階建てベッドが2つあるドミトリで、下の方が便利という人も多いと思いますが、上り下りに支障のない人であれば、上でも快適でした。エアコンや天井扇の強度については、同室の人と話し合ってください。効きすぎると風邪を引きます。バス・トイレも清潔で使い勝手がよかったです。

professionally run

great location, close to bus or train station, walking distance or take a tuk tuk for 150, no more. staff is great and very helpful. lots of staff, even on every floor. not sure what people complain about the breakfast for?? probably one of the best breakfasts I'd had in any hostel, anywheres. wifi is very good, beds are comfy, AC works well, and towel included. It said locks were available for the locker but I had my own, so I'm not sure if you had to rent it or not. Only had hot water 2 out of 4 times, yet people had hot water the same day, so I guess it was luck of the draw. No windows in the rooms, which I prefer because it stops the traffic noise, and light from coming in. One guy was smoking in the room when I checked in so I'm not sure if this is allowed, or he was sneaking it

Hotel bien situé et staff accueillant mais chambre sans fenêtre avec une mauvaise odeur, chambre au 1er étage entre la cusine et la salle à manger donc bruyante. Salle de bain commune sale. Bref si vous y allez, demandez à ne pas avoir de chambre au 1er etage!

Airco was broke, so we moved rooms, but then there the airco also broke down. In addition there was a girl in our room that seemed to live there. It was all a bit weird. But location is good, and the staff is really nice.

The room smelt musty. It was good that there was lockers in the room. A weird stain was on the wall next to the air con. Only one female shower. And not super clean. It's fine I you only need to spend one night. The driver collected us from the airport which was a gread and even stopped at the train station for us. The check in was great and we were well greeted.

Best choice near the train station

I stayed for only 5 hours as I arrived late and got a morning train to catch. Everything was clean - shower, room, bed, etc. Staff was superb and helpful! Unfortunately only cereal was provided for breakfast before 7am. The best choice near the train station!

従業員のホスピタリティーは文句なし！

深夜1時のレイトチェックインでしたが、冷たいおしぼりとウエルカムドリンクが、パスポートの手続きの間に提供されます。滞在中、従業員すべての感じの良い応対に、とても満足しました。またコロンボ滞在の際には泊まりたいホテルです。
