I booked to stay for a couple of weeks with my daughter whilst visiting family in Colombo.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable.
The breakfast was plentiful and we especially enjoyed the paratha and dal breakfast which was delicious.
The beach was a 5 minute walk and the local shops not far either.

Yes, it had a faded charm from it's glory days but everyone there worked hard. We felt very safe and the gates were kept locked to avoid intruders.
Sadly the owner decided to close the hotel I guess as it wasn't financially viable which was a great shame for its lovely staff.

Friendly and Safe

All people are very hospitable, kind, 
quiet room with balcony, nice breakfast. 
The hotel building is beautiful colonial style over 120 years. 
We really enjoyed to stay there after long flight. 
Keener is very kind & hospitable, same as all staffs. We really recommend this hotel to stay. 

Excellent hotel to stay after long flight 

Royce is just 5-10 mins walk from the Mount Lavinia beach and also close to the Mount Lavinia city. 

Love the charming large rooms, clean and comfortable. Staff are very friendly and professional - overall the place has a very colonial feel (good alternative to Mount Lavinia Hotel although this one is a small hotel compared with the latter) 

Great Location - Mount Charm

We thought this hotel was great and a real find and other guests we spoke to and whom had done some research on foot in the area felt this strongly too! We loved it because it was a short walk to the dive centre (the only one in Colombo), on the beach smart, clean beautiful and friendly. We decided to stay extra nights and the price was very reasonable. The hotel was very quiet. An old colonial mansion with great sweeping four poster beds, which are large and comfortable. There is also old fashioned furniture and quaint British tea service around the hotel. Bathrooms is basic but has hot shower and it clean and functional. The staff are really accommodating and we arrived 8hrs before check in but they found us a room and let us move in. We also missed breakfast due to diving but they went out of the way to feed us. Great tea selection and breakfast choices. Aircon in room works well. Avoid massage place next door, it's poor service and over priced but there is a great little place for food down the road towards the beach and right at the junction. It's called Food Corner, lunch for £1.50. There are also cash points close by to the hotel on Galle Road and plenty of shops!

Wish we could pick it up and carry it around Sri L

Had a great stay. Owners and staff really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Definitely recommend

Quaint stay

I cannot believe that this hotel has a 3.6 rating.  For the price we paid, we had an awesome room with every facility we needed.  The staff were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble for them to organise.  OK, this is not a "5 star"" hotel, but the service and care we received was personal.  We did not feel as though we were a "room number", we were valued guests.  If you like "up market and trendy", do not stay here.  If you want somewhere to stay where you are treated as a guest, not a source of money, then you can't go past this gorgeous colonial style hotel.

Old world charm

The 5 nights my wife and I spent here were some of the best we've ever had at a hotel. The Royce doesn't feel like any other hotel we've tried - it's much more charming, warm, and comfortable. Bottom line: If you're looking for a nice, quiet place to stay during your time at Mt. Lavinia Beach, look no further.Food: The fastest way to my heart is through my stomach and the complimentary custom-made breakfasts are out of this world. The staff were prompt, courteous, and skilled. Good quality and portions.Room: The rooms have a simple and elegant design and layout complete with soft beds, hot showers, and a great balcony to sit on outside with your morning cup of coffee and a book. Our room overlooked the hotel grounds below, all of which are expertly landscaped with lush greenery and cement stepping stones charting the neat walkways. With a limited number of available rooms, the hotel never felt crowded.Service: I can't speak highly enough about the staff - each and every person we encountered was warm, kind, helpful, prompt, polite, and humble. It is clear that they take great pride in caring for the guests in their hotel.Location: It's just a few blocks from the beach and feels much more private and secluded than the hotels we saw on the beach. Most importantly, it was far enough away from the train that runs right along the beach so that we never heard it when we were at the hotel. We can't say the same for our time on the beach.

A charming boutique hotel - a must stay.

Easy to get to via bus fron airport, short walk to the beach. It has lovely airy rooms and gardens,  the rooms are large with the most comfortable mattresses,  its very secure but can take a time to get in as rhe gates are locked .it would be better if tgey gave guests a key to the front garden door. 
Love spiced omelette for breakfast

Best mattress,Good breakfast and location

For those who feel Colombo has lost its old world charm, this boutique hotel comes as a welcome surprise. Sit in a tranquil garden sipping gin and tonic in the cool of the evening or the tastefully decayed verandah in the day.

A gracious Colonial house in a garden

Nice 3 night stay. Really helpful and organised airport pickup. Few ants in the bathroom but where doesn't in Sri Lanka?
