    The hotel is 20 years and is extremely tired…the restaurant lacks any taste or innovation in dishes. We asked the hotel to pick us up which they agreed to but didnt inform us in advance that there would be a charge for this service and when we were checking out the charges for the rented car were billed to us.

    the portering staff and doormen were excellent

    location - too far away from the centre of Colombo making travel quite dangerous

    The hotel is in good location with plenty of food outlets and shops.Alot of tuk tuk pass the road making it easy to travel within the city.

    On checking in was given a standard room instead of a luxury room I booked. I was told that the room rate quoted by Booked.net is good for the standard room only and that I need to pay more for a luxury room.On checking out was told to pay for my room again plus someone else's food bill. Thank God I kept my payment receipt.Before leaving Colombo I found a much much better hotel at the same rate.

    During my recent stay at Hotel Sapphire, I was pleasantly surprised by the convenient location and great food offered. The hotel is centrally situated, making it easily accessible to all the main areas in the city. The rooms, although slightly old, were well maintained and clean. The highlight of my stay was definitely the food. The variety and taste of dishes served for breakfast and lunch were excellent, especially for those who enjoy Indian cuisine. I had a satisfying experience at Hotel Sapphire and would recommend it.
