Penha de Franca Hotels

"We paid for two rooms which was no small amount of money. There was only one regular espresso in each room that amounted to a sip. Would have been really nice to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. Further, the room that I was in had only one mirror - there was certainly space on the wall above the desk for a mirror, but it was empty space. Always nice to have more than one mirror when there is more than one person in the room. Hotel was in a convenient location, but you could not walk out of the hotel or back to the hotel without being hounded by the restaurants or the souvenir folks. Somebody should tell them it is a complete turnoff and all travel guides advice you to NOT eat at restaurant if you are being hounded!!!!"

"All good!"

"We had a great stay here. The property is modern and in a great location, well connected to many parts of the city. We ate at Santa Marta restaurant and the food was really great. The rooms are convenient and cozy. The downside was that housekeeping service wasn't provided when we stayed 4 nights (one night we had the DND on) or they offered it at 530pm which is not a convenient time when guests are out all day. The bathroom is also very little, but the room is laid out in a smart way."

"The breakfast was very nice. I didn’t go to the spa but it looks amazing!"

"Wonderful hotel! Great location for an early flight. Highly recommend doing the pre-check in as it saved time. Breakfast was great and a wonderful way to start a long day of travel. Staff were very helpful."

"Yes the breakfast selection was excellent for early risers to catch an early flight. The bar selection was very good."

"Overall it was decent, we felt safe, the beds were comfy, the staff were pretty nice. Location wise… not great. 40 min walk from the airport (10 minute uber), 20 drive from anywhere cool so not the best. The vibe of the place was interesting… felt a little like a prison if I’m being honest. Very modern and grey walls and carpet in all the hallways. The elevator was also atrocious and took forever. Cleanliness was meh… our sheets were stained! We didn’t use the pool because it closes at 7. "

"The breakfast was really good with many options accommodating all needs and wishes. However, I personally found it quite expensive, being €16.95 per person, even with all the variety. The room was excellent, very spacious, with a mini living room, fridge, two sinks in the bathroom and excellent temperature inside. Yet again, the price was quite high, I believe, having to extend our stay from 1 night to 2 nights, the price per night went from £56 to €158. And this was only a standard room, sharing the double bed with my mum. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who suffers an unexpected disruption to their flight, as we did, as it is very conveniently located next to the airport but also not too far from tourist attractions like the tele cabin and the Colombo Shopping Centre.

"Airport shuttle was effective. Clean room but small but was just what we needed. Need to leave extra time to catch airport shuttle in the morning as only fits 8 people but we had plenty of time "
