Mr & MRS Smith Paradise Road Tintagel Colombo

因為建築師巴瓦的作品，把這裏作為斯里蘭卡的第一站，是一個小眾的輕奢酒店，房間很棒，很有巴瓦的風格，據説是總理曾經的私邸，專門招待各國首腦和英國王室，服務很到位，早餐晚餐也很好吃（據説晚餐很有名），值得推薦的一家酒店。

We really liked this hotel for the location and the history. The staff was amazing and we didn’t feel like we were in the city.

特別有歷史感的奢華酒店

英倫風格，服務細緻，高逼格酒店，名至實歸

A beautiful building in a very pleasant area of Colombo; the architecture and interior design of the hotel are a joy to behold and the vast majority of staff are polite and courteous. Plenty of amenities nearby to suit all tastes and interests. The breakfasts were great both mornings (both the Sri Lankan breakfast and the Western style), and they really lived up to the high expectations we’d had from the Instagram marketing we’d seen. We were upgraded to the North West Suite, which was a larger room, for which we were greatly appreciative; a couple of issues with working plugs and appliances (coffee machine and hair dryer) were reported and rectified, although the wiring/plugs more broadly were temperamental and poorly placed (as expected, possibly, with the charm of an older hotel). However, the bed was comfortable, the hotel was quiet, and the bathroom was well appointed. Our only qualm was with the overzealous Head of Housekeeping, who seemed to not grasp the subtlety required for such a role, or the privacy with which guests might like to enjoy the beautiful hotel. It appeared that he lingered all too often in search of a tip, and didn’t quite appreciate the boundaries one might desire when paying a reasonable fee for each night. My wife and I took to speedily locking the door and placing the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the handle to keep his incessant interrupting to a minimum. His deputy was, however, an asset to the hotel, who seemed to comprehend the subtle art of providing high quality service for a luxury stay in a lovely hotel. All-in-all, a great choice for a hotel in the heart of Colombo, and hopefully, during a busier season, the aforementioned Head of Housekeeping might spread his overbearing attention across the many rooms of the hotel.

Something different This hotel is lovely but also interesting with a long and colourful history.
