I am a frequent traveller to Colombo.Unfortunately because of lack of planning,i was forced to stay in this hotel on 17th jan 2013.Initially they collected the money(USD 76 for single room- bit expensive) before showing the room.I was deceived by the lobby area.Once I went to the room,the bed was very hard and i wanted to change it,they said no.When...

I have traveled to over 90 countries and this was one of the worst places I have ever stayed in. I arrived after a long flight and did not know the area I was staying in. My room was on the top floor and it was very musty so I tried to open the door to the balcony and the... More

We checked in to this hotel for 01 night and wow room was very small and the bed sheets were not clean, towels were off white and had foot prints. Staff friendly and managed to change the towels and sheets. Bathroom didnt have shower cubicle or curtain. If you open the side door lots of mosquitoes. Breakfast was cold and... More

The hotel was very basic with a nice enterence, however the room was very, very different! It was very dirty, the sheets were stained and the floor looked like it hadn't been sweeper or mopped properley. The bathroom was strange I couldn't shower without the water going all over the room, floor and toilet and I had to wear my... More

But when we checked into our rooms, we were surprised by how filthy the rooms were! We were scheduled to stay literally for less than 6 hours but we could not... More

The Sovereign is not a business class hotel. It is budget class at best. Didn't likes: No air conditioning in 'restaurant'. Restaurant is just an eating area with poor light and not nice with people passing you eating as they go up and down the stair well. Shower in bathroom completely soaks the bathroom when you shower. Too many Mosquitos... More

Booked it mainly for the location between the main city attractions and the cricket ground. However, taxis and tuk tuk drivers didn't know where it was so we had fun getting back every night. By far the worst experiences were from the catering/restaurant staff. At the START of breakfast finding COLD fried eggs, sausages, bacon and beans in the buffet... More

If you are looking for a well priced , clean, basic hotel , close enough as in 10 mins by tuk tuk to the centre then you cannot go wrong here . If you are are on your honey moon go somewhere else ! Good breakfast served in the am but no bar for those end of day drinks .... More

This hotel good in terms of budget and rooms.The proximity to the city also is really good and the service is fine with us.I think this hotel is good for 2 day business visit to the city.
