“Great hotel, friendly staff.”
The hotel was great, well located for the airport. The night manager Gayan was brilliant. He collected me from the airport. I was feeling a bit sick and he made sure I was alright. He showed me around the hotel and helped me so much. He also showed me where to get food. Thankyou so much Gayan
