Review Summary

This property boasts an excellent location right on marine drive, offering fantastic ocean views and easy access to nearby restaurants and attractions. Guests have praised the courteous and helpful staff, as well as the cleanliness of the premises. While the breakfast options are limited and repetitive, the quality remains decent. However, some guests have pointed out that the rooms are small and noise from nearby train tracks can be bothersome at times. Overall, it’s a decent spot for solo travelers looking for a budget stay.

Excellent location. Although there is train tracks near the hotel facing seafront, it is for short while and I did not feel any uncomfortable as I was staying in room.

Stay at The Ocean Front hotel

asit r.family

Good place near The Sea, for breakfast items are limited but quality is good, if you are non-vegetarian there is no much problem. You can also order food from outside restaurant with reasonable price.

Hotel is more like a hostel suitable for one day stay and The morning breakfast can be best described as a plate of fruits nothing more

Good place to stay in Colombo

Its in heart of The City all The places liberty plaza, marine mall and marine casino are in walk-able distance.
Room was good and room service too. The free bottle is only of 500 ml after that its chargeable. It is quite opposite to Ocean only few rooms are Ocean Front.

Good facilities with restrictions

prashanth r.

Location of the hotel is on the ocean front. Breakfast options were not available and it was the same food served throughout our stay. Service was limited and there were many restrictions forced on us.
The hotel facilities were all up-to the mark. I would suggest the hotel management to not make any restrictions for room guests during their stay. Breakfast options were very limited and almost the same set food served everyday.
