I truly enjoyed my stay here. I loved the historical significance of this hotel. I rated it exceptionally well because one must understand that the hotel is over 175 years old. Sri Lanka has to recognize the importance of preserving this historical part of town. So much potential in these golden age buildings

What can I say? Not a five-star hotel, but a five-star value and historical relic. Queen Elizabeth and Chekov stayed here, so can you. Perfectly clean and adequate, centrally located.

Lovely Historical building. We had a large room but the water would not get hot or even warm for showers. Hotel just needs to have a bit of a update with new sheets and refurbished bathrooms. We still enjoyed our stay though as the location is great.

This is a very old hotel and the rooms are very old too. The saving grace are the staff. They are ALL fantastic. One person in particular needs a special mention is Mr Chandika the reception manager. He was just amazingly helpful. M

A bit worn out, but beautiful historical building

It was close to what I expected, maybe the only two surprises were how huge the rooms were and how much history is there behind this hotel. With all that, with a little more effort in maintaining it, they could make it a dream place. But on the other hand it would probably be much more expensive then, so I kind of liked it as it is.

The Grand Oriental is a wonderful building. Unfortunately it has been unsympatheticly renovated many years ago and is tired and worn which maked it difficult for staff to keep it clean. On the plus side its $1.50 $AUS tuk tuk ride any nunber of great places. It's got a great dinnig room, open all day And the staff are terrifically helpful And it was only $35 aus a night. I arrived at 1.30 am and it was a bit of a shock but after 4 nights I'd stay there again

Altes, kostengünstiges Hotel

Wir waren das dritte Mal während des Urlaubs im Grand Oriental und wussten daher, was uns erwartet. Das Hotel ist baufällig, nach wie vor günstig gelegen, das Frühstück gut und die Übernachtungskosten niedrig. Die Klimaanlage im Foyer könnte mal eine Überholung gebrauchen, die Luft, die sie verströmt, riecht nicht gerade frisch. Auf unserem Zimmer, das sehr geräumig und u.a. mit Kühlschrank, funktionierendem Tresor und bequemer Matratze ausgestattet war, kam angenehme Luft aus der Klimaanlage. Worüber ich mich geärgert habe, ist, dass ich alte Frau meinen schweren Rucksack selbst schleppen musste. Keiner der livrierten Herren, die um die Rezeption herumstanden, fühlte sich berufen.
