“Great hotel”
+Very lovely employees and service. Such helpful and nice people, although we had short-term change of plans they were welcoming and supporting. Had a nice view at the Ocean which was relaxing. Wlan for free and nice clean room. Would recommend going there!

“Best mix of nostalgia and comfort!”
+This is a sweet little hotel right on marine drive with the most magnificent views of the sea with the occasional train chugging past. The place is maintained very well. We stayed in the topmost floor in the room with a jacuzzi, which also has a gorgeous balcony. (Only downside that the wi-fi doesn’t reach the room upstairs) The beds and linen provided were fluffy and new and super soft and made you feel very very cared for! The place is managed by a wonderful manager and a very helpful team. The ocean front hotel has the perfect nostalgic vibe for a great start or end to your holiday! We had a super stay here ❤️

“Peaceful and Calm”
+A very peaceful place, view was amazing towards the sea. Always windy and will never make you feel hot. Clean and decent rooms. The staff were very helpful, and manager was very friendly and flexible to needs. If you want a place with peace, no distractions, this is the place Will come back for sure whenever I come to Sri Lanka

“Very poor maintain apartment”
+Room infested with ants, staff looking finding difficult communicate in English, AC was there but not working properly, upstairs balcony was not maintained, had loads dirt in Jacuzzi, no hot water coming jacuzzi as well. Convenient place to travel around Colombo, but not up to the standard for price we are paying. It should less than £30.00 per day. Room service not unless you ask for it, Not up to standerd at all. I want recommend any one coming here.
“Last night in Sri Lanka”
+Last night in Sri Lanka before flying home. Situated overlooking the ocean, the staff of this hotel were extremely helpful, attentive and friendly. The rooms were pleasant with a very good ensuite bathroom. Breakfasts, both Western and Sri Lankan, were very tasty and plentiful. We really appreciated the top floor terrace with our last "Arrack" night cap! The proximity of the trains may be an issue for some but Colombo is a bustling city.

“Comfortable beds, delicious traditional breakfast, superior customer service”
+As a solo female traveler I was looking for a comfortable place to stay in Colombo. Ocean Front organized my airport pick up, took exceptional care of me while I stayed at the hotel, and helped organize my transportation to my next destination at a great price. The staff were so sweet and attentive. I always felt safe and comfortable. The traditional Sri Lankan breakfast of string hoppers with Dahl was delicious, beds were comfortable, bathrooms were clean, and the location is very central. I’d definitely stay again if I return to Colombo. Be sure to bring ear plugs as you can hear the train. Another huge benefit is it’s one block from the grocery store (Food City) and there’s a fridge in the room. Thanks to Ocean Front for making my stay in Colombo a great one!

“View on ocean and everyday life”
+We were very satisfied with the privately-run, small hotel from which we started our Sri Lanka tour. The room was very clean and the bathroom quite stylish. Big windows open to the sea and also on the train line to Colombo city centre. We found it very interesting to see the trains passing with people on their way to work. The Sri Lanka breakfast was very tasty. We stayed two nights.
