Horrible Sapphire Colombo Hotel
The only pros is the location. Rest all are cons only. Small small insects, cockroaches freely roaming in the room and bed and it seems bad smell has been there for several years. The condition is horrible. The receptionist was totally unfit for that job. He tried to do his side business from their guests. Overall no value for money and I dont recommend.

The front & lobby of the hotel looks appealing, however inside is a different story. The room was dark and not cleaned properly. Only 1 lift was working and very small. Reception staff no form of welcoming guests or smiling. The hotel needs to keep up with maintenance and revamp the place up.
