Hotel Sapphire Colombo

Stayed here for one night in Feb 2011.

The hotel is away from the centre of Colombo but easy to reach. A bus from Fort station is less that 20 LKR (101 is good but many buses travel down Galle Road).

Good service, nice room, bathroom smelled a little (think Paris on a wet day). Don't bother with the restaurant as you may well be ignored, and the menu isn't exactly inspiring. Free WiFi throughout the hotel, and a swimming pool and gym.

The hotel is beside a busy road so can be noisy. It also hosts wedding parties (also noisy!)
