A gem near the jewelry district
The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is a short walk or taxi ride from many interesting sites in the city. The views aren’t great, (not from my room at least,) but this is a good deal for a traveler on a budget.

It was cheap and cheerful and £32pp a night was perfect. It was safe and secure, however tuc tuc drivers struggled to locate hotel. GPS on iPhone still works in airplane mode so saved us. We paid £15 each to use the cinnamon river side hotels pool for the day !!

BAD EXPERIANCE OF VISIT TO COLOMBO.
Room service was not good. Staff was not bothered to change the towel, bed sheets, supply toiletaries, even after the end of my 5 days stay. I had to repeatedly request for the service. Breakfast was called for from the next door restarant. Limited choice of breakfast. Overall not happy during my stay between 8th October to 13th October, 2016.

A room without a view.
VJ City Hotel is located in a very mixed area that can overwhelm. First the reception is located 1 floor up from the street. The receptionist is the best I have seen and a definite asset to the hotel. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. Space is tight for two beds and two people. The only two windows one in the bedroom the other in the bathroom looked into an air shaft. Mosquito netting not needed since they will never find you there. The AC unit in the room helps to circulate the air. Wi-Fi for each floor with a good signal strength and speed.The hot water is plentiful and truly hot.The floor is solid surface so it is easy to see that it is clean. Down side it is like being in a cell. But if you get on the street it is close to many Hindu temples, Christian churches and Buddhist temples, with locals that are not used to tourists. This means no one selling you anything. So if you are on a tight budget this is a good place. If you are just waiting for a plane it is not a bad deal. The rotti in the neighborhood was the cheapest I found 25 rupee for veg with egg.
