Ideal place for 2 nights. Tasty food served, freshly prepared and sensational breakfast. The peaceful location for the price, very close to the Halal restaurants and very close to embassy. The hotel of choice in Colombo.

Property was cool, with polite staff and exceptional location in a more quiet area in Colombo. Got a fresh breakfast included. Location: the hotel was so close to the central areas. The services were excellent, offered us great free Wi-Fi. We had smooth check-in on arrival.

The hotel was located in a residential area close to restaurants and city attractions, making it a convenient spot for tourists. The rooms were spacious and clean with private bathrooms and comfortable beds. The friendly staff provided helpful service, including organizing taxis and assisting with recommendations for local activities. The breakfast was also mentioned to be good by some guests.
Some reviews mentioned issues such as the smell of cigarette smoke upon entering, lack of soap holder in one of the bathrooms, and towels being due for a change.

I gotta say, Rockwell was really worth the money! The room was awesome and perfect for a short stay. The location was great too, tucked away on a quiet street but still easy to explore the city. The staff treated us like VIPs, always willing to help and super friendly.
The breakfast could've been better. Maybe some more variety would've been nice.

The food was good and we received complimentary drinks on arrival. the room was also clean and spacious. It was located close to some popular tourist sites and the staff was friendly and helpful during check-in.
The air conditioning was faulty and despite our efforts to fix it, it kept stopping, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. the third bed in the room was uncomfortable and hard to move around on its wheels.

In the middle of the concrete jungle, Rockwell Colombo offers a unique blend of personalized attention, unlimited luxury, and a friendly atmosphere. The staff, while assisting guests with luggage and sightseeing arrangements, went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The hotel's location at the heart of the city is both convenient and surprisingly peaceful.
Air-conditioner noise.

We stayed at this hotel for our first night in Sri Lanka and we had an amazing time. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome right from the start. They took care of all of our needs and even gave us helpful tips on how to avoid scams in the area. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with the best bathroom we found in all of Sri Lanka. The breakfast was delicious and freshly made in front of us. It was the perfect start to our trip and we would definitely stay here again when we visit Sri Lanka.
