The breakfast was cooked to order by the hotel chef. Any issues the front desk manager solved them immediately. Very helpful getting Ubers and providing valuable information. TV was great and room was excellent. Would stay there again!

So I stayed just one night, and the staff rocked. They were very helpful organizing my ride to Kandy. They were very friendly, offering a ton of suggestions on what do during my Sri Lanka stay. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was very hot, making for the perfect short stay.

Won’t go back
Average hotel near downtown Colombo, this hotel has absolutely nothing to come out with. Room poorly equipped but we didn’t care much, just advise this is a budget hotel. Wifi worked great and they have TVs in the room. They list a free shuttle and gym, this made me so mad, the gym is a war zone and is pretty much an storage useless fitness room and airport shuttle was chargeable, and not cheap they wanted to rip me off.

We booked late so most other similarly-priced options were already taken. The Rockwell is clean, air conditioned, well located and friendly. No elevator (not a problem for us). For a reasonably priced place we were very happy but we didn't spend much time in the room.

We recently stayed at your hotel for one week and wanted to share our thoughts on the experience. Overall, we were impressed with the level of hospitality provided by your staff. Everyone was friendly and efficient, making our stay much more enjoyable. The hotel's central location was also convenient, saving us time and transport costs. One area that I think could be improved is the cleaning standards. While our room was generally clean, I felt a few areas, especially the bathroom, could have been cleaner. So I think raising the cleaning standards bar would be helpful in creating an even more comfortable and welcoming environment for guests. Despite this, we enjoyed our stay at your hotel and appreciate the effort put in by your staff to make it a great experience. Thank you for your hard work, and I look forward to potentially staying with you again.

Stylish, great bathroom and shower, top location (Ward Place/Borella). Their service was the best I've experienced in Sri Lanka sofar: always on the dot, efficient, meals served in style and eager to please their guests. I couldn't stay longer, or else I would have.. I'll be back for sure.

Dont see any reason why we should return. I am aware that we get what we pay for, but very simple things has been ignored, like training, wires and cables running from everywhere, quality of the menus (appearance). However the staff are brilliant and extremely friendly.

Very happy with our choice of hotel for two nights when we first got to Colombo. An easy tuk tuk ride into the city which was not too far. Some restaurants close by for night meals. Really nice breakfast in a little courtyards. Nice staff.

It was quite funny that only one person in this place could speak English and his shift was untill 5:30.so after that time it was a challenge to communicate with other members of staff.

Great staff, great hotel.
Staff at the Rockwell were excellent. They were very accommodating and didn't mind when we last minute pushed back our check in time to midnight. They were also super helpful with organizing taxis ect. Breakfast was great: fruit, warm bread & pastries, eggs and sausages. Room was exactly like the picture

Quaint boutique hotel
Although the location itself isn't near any major tourist attractions (there isn't really much to begin with in Colombo), it is a surprisingly nice boutique hotel that's comfortable and clean. The staff is extremely friendly and I have no regrets staying there. You can hire Tuktuks to bring you to Galle Face or Dutch quarters (Ministry of Crabs) for 200-300 rupees.
