Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Das Hotel The Den 23 ist eine super Adresse für eine Nacht in der Stadt. Die Mitarbeitenden sind freundlich und zuvorkommend, das Hotel und das Zimmer sind sauber und die Dachterasse hat wirklich eine tolle Aussicht. Wir sind morgens um halb 11 Uhr angekommen und konnten sogar schon das Zimmer beziehen.
Das Hotel ist sehr hellhörig, laute Gäste im Gang hört man gut. Die Aussage ist auf einen Hinterhof - aber das hat uns für eine Nacht und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht gestört.
Bardzo sympatyczna pani na recepcji
Obsługa restauracji, czekaliśmy na danie godzinę, a byliśmy jedynymi gośćmi. Kelnerzy. 3 razy dopytywali o nasze zamówienie, a było bardzo proste.
IL RAGAZZO CHE NON PARLAVA DEL BAR ED ACCOGLIENZA UN VERO AMORE E L UNICA NOTA POSITIVA DEL SOGGIORNO
LA STRUTTURA SEMBRA UN SILOS DEL 1900 IN UNIONE SOVIETICA, LA CAMERA UN BUNKER CHE MANCO CI SI RIUSCIVA A GIRARE, SIAMO STATI A CENA SULLA TERRAZZA E C'ERA UN TOPO CHE GIRAVA ANIMATAMENTE SUL TERRAZZO. UN POSTO TERRIBILE
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The accomodation is close to the beach and the mall. The bed was a bit uncomfortable and noisy and the hotel restaurant was overpriced.
Le personnel a été très gentil et très aidant ! Nous avons bien dormis et nous avons aussi très bien manger sur place
The staff is friendly and the rooftop terrace is great. The room was ok, the location was great.
Cleanliness in the rooms could be improved a little.
Nous avons été merveilleusement accueilli, repas délicieux sur un rooftop qui laisse une jolie vu sur la lotus tower.
Dobra lokalizacja, możliwość zameldowania się cała dobę. Naprawdę czysto, dobrze działająca klimatyzacja. Brawo za ogólnodostępną lodówkę na korytarzu! Można się wyspać, bo hotel nie jest bezpośrednio przy głównej drodze, więc jest cicho.
Miał być czajnik w pokoju, jednak nie było. Detal, ale obsługa nawet napisała, że przygotowano to dla nas, a w pokoju nic nie było.
Sentralt og trygt.
Ikke noe.
Great location, staff were very helpful
Au final pas grand chose , l’établissement se situe à 5/10min de toute commodité
Le bruit , la propreté . On entend tout , les chambres sont mal isolés
The roof
The Room and the bath were very dirty
Saubere Zimmer, gute Klimaanlage, schöne Rooftop Aussicht
Wir mussten 1,5 stunden auf das essen zumittag warten, obwohl wir die einzigen Gäste waren. Vegie Noodles sind zu empfehlen, westliches Essen wie Sandwich nicht.
Freundlichkeit
Badetücher waren nicht sauber.
Location
Nothing
Vriendelijk personeel en goede airconditioning
Vuile handdoeken en mieren
The workers were very friendly especially the receptionists. There is a supermarket right next door. It’s not in the area where attractions are located but everything was very accessible and the area felt very safe. The view from the terrace is very beautiful.
The bedsheets and towels had many stains that made us doubtful about their cleanliness, the towels actually smelled clean but their appearance was not good. Nothing to do with hotel but just a warning for the tourists, there are some scammers you can encounter on the street around the hotel. They don’t ask for money but for you to buy milk powder for them. Please don’t do it, they make money by returning the items later.
冷房がよく効いて、水回りもとても清潔でした。 久しぶりに冷えた部屋で寝れて本当に快適でした。 すぐ隣にスーパーもあり非常に便利でした。 また、コロンボに来た際には泊まりたいです。

L’hôtel fait également restaurant et les plats sont vraiment délicieux
La chambre était humide
Merkezi konumda olması güzel. Başkent'te ilk gün veya son gün günübirlik konaklayacaksanız olabilir. Oda küçüktü fakat zaten tek gecelik kaldığımız için odayla pek de işimiz yoktu.
Buzdolabı, bardak ve su ısıtıcı olsaydı iyi olabilirdi.
Lokalizacja
Syf, łazienki całe w pleśni. Insekty zapierdzielają z każdego możliwego miejsca. Co wieczór zabijanie karaluchów od malutkich po wielkie ( nigdy nie widziałem tak dużych). Obsługa w restauracja nie przejmuje się gościem. 3 osoby na barze a zamówiony napój mimo pustej restauracji dociera po 20 minutach. Proponuję uczyć się od wspaniałego kelnera ( niedosłyszący ), który mimo że nie słyszy to ogarnia wszystko. Sprzątanie pokoi polega chyba tylko na zaścieleniu łóżka i zmianie ręczników. Na piętrze restauracji biegają raz karaluchy, raz szczury ( 7 piętro ). Stosunek jakości do ceny nie idzie tutaj w parze.
Room was very comfortable and clean
I would like to share some feedback about my stay. Unfortunately, the balcony was not clean, and strong sunlight was coming directly into the bathroom in the morning, which was a little uncomfortable. I hope these issues can be addressed to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you for your understanding
Проживала в этом отеле один день и выбрала его в первую очередь из-за удобной локации. Примерно в 20 минутах ходьбы находится Башня Лотоса и другие достопримечательности, рядом также есть несколько кафе и магазинов. При этом сам отель расположен в достаточно тихом районе. В отеле есть лифт, на нижнем этаже находится охрана, а наверху - бар с красивым видом, где подают вкусные завтраки. Заселение прошло быстро, девушка на ресепшене была вежливой и дала несколько полезных рекомендаций по городу. Мой номер находился на 5-м этаже. Он небольшой, но для проживания на одну ночь вполне комфортный. Внутри чисто, есть балкон, зеркало, шампунь и гель для душа. В номере были две отдельные кровати, спать было удобно. Кондиционер работает отлично. Хороший вариант для короткой остановки в городе, особенно если важна удобная локация.
El personal. Profesionales y súper amables y nos dieron una habitación de cortesía para darnos una ducha antes de ir al aeropuerto.
Todouy bien. Calidad precio fantástico
La nourriture et le personnel très gentil, ils nous ont aider pour tout ce que l'on avait besoin. Nous avons même échanger un moment de notre soirée avec un des serveur sourd et muet, un bon souvenir.
Posizione e gentilezza dello staff
La pulizia delle stanza potrebbe essere migliore
Everything good!
There was no water heater
Amazing people! They were really nice
Friendly staff, reception lady is amazing! They were very kind to let me have a shower before my room was ready (very early flight). Really nice rooftop/views.
Cleaning could improve.
-beaufsichtiger Gepäckraum -Zimmer mit Fenster , geräumig -genug Aufhängvorrichtungen für Wäsche etc -Lage okay -Sauberkeit besser als erwartet -Preis-Leistung voll in Ordnung -freundlicher Portier -kostenloses Wasser (2 Flaschen pro Person)

Sauberes Zimmer und Bad, Duschkabine mit sehr gutem Wasserdruck. Schöne Dachterasse und leckeres Essen, haben der Einfachkeit halber dort zu Abend gegessen was sehr praktisch war. Blick auf den Lotus Tower, super nettes Personal. Organisation Flughafentransfer um 3 Uhr morgens. Im Zimmer war es angenehm leise zum schlafen für eine Großstadt.
Zimmer etwas klein, dennoch ausreichend Ablagemöglichkeiten. Wand mit Löchern und teils dreckig, Bettlaken/Decke/Handtücher müssten mal getauscht werden da mit Flecken die anscheinend beim Waschen nicht rausgehen.
La habitación estaba bien y el personal muy amable. La zona es cómoda y tranquila para alojarse.
Desayunamos en la terraza del hotel y tardaron más de una hora en traernos el desayuno, teníamos un conductor contratado y por la tardanza salimos casi hora y media más tarde de lo planificado, para tenerlo en cuenta. El resto bien!
Location amazing
Nothing specific
Estaba en una zona tranquila de la ciudad, lo cual, se agradecía mucho. El personal era muy amable y tenía una terraza estupenda en la que cenar después de un caluroso y ajetreado día. Tenía unas vistas a la torre de Loto geniales, sobre todo de noche.

The manager of the hotel is very kind, he was able to address my issues even though I had a rough start.
A lot. First, the rooms are extremely small for such large beds and feel quite suffocating. The balconies are even smaller and, in my opinion, were not worth adding to the place. I arrived late due to a flight delay and checked in around 7 PM. The first room had mould in the bathroom. I reported this and was shown two other rooms, which were in even worse condition. By the fourth room, the receptionist had become visibly frustrated and stopped speaking to me, instead handing me the phone to speak with the manager. Thankfully, the manager was very kind and instructed him to assist me. I eventually settled for the least problematic room, only to find hairs and ants on the floor and no toilet paper. Later that evening, when I opened the bedding, I found obvious stains on the sheets, while the duvet smelled strongly of perfume. When I reported this, the receptionist became so agitated that he asked me to check out. I requested to speak to the manager, who came to the hotel personally, apologized, and helped change the bedding. He also explained that the receptionist was temporarily covering for their regular staff member, who was dealing with a family emergency. By then, unfortunately, the experience had already been very unpleasant, but I genuinely appreciated the manager's kindness and efforts to resolve the situation. Overall, the hotel needs significant renovation and deep cleaning, particularly the bathrooms and ventilation. The rooms have a damp, musty, and unclean smell. Thankfully, I was only there for one night.
The location, the bed
Room cleaning not daily, every alternate day, reception was not available all the time, no toothpaste/ toothbrush/ lotion
great hotel.
nothing
Great location in general and located on quiet alley. Roof top restaurant available if you don't feel like going out.
Personnel, possibilité de laisser les bagages une fois la chambre quittée, restaurant au rooftop, clim
The rooftop restaurant was extraordinary with excellent views of the lotus tower. There was a Cargil super shop just a min away.
Damp wall, needs to be repainted.
Comodo pulito semplice
Amazing service, sweetest people ever!

Money was stolen from my hotel room. The manager did not believe me. I had a confirmed extension of my stay for some more days. After my serious complaint, the manager told me that the hotel was fully booked. Disappointing experience, after staying one week.
Struttura semplice ma pulita, in posizione semicentrale, ottima come base d’appoggio per visitare colombo e raggiungere la stazione dei treni
Primo impatto della struttura un po’ bizzarro in quanto la reception confina con una laboratorio di protesi dentali
The check in was excellent, very thorough, very professional, but did not take too long. The room was pleasant, the shower was good.
Too much noise. The room above must have had a concrete floor, or at least a bare one. I could hear every scrape of a chair, every dull thud of something being dropped for HOURS. These floors might look good, but if I cannot go to sleep until after the stranger above me, the nice floor is not helping much. Put in a thin rug, or at least something on the feet of the chairs. Nobody lifts chairs. Really, really needed sleep and this ruined it.
Der Check-In und Check-Out war einfach
Betten leider nicht sauber, Restaurant auf dem Dach wirkte sehr heruntergekommen und nicht ansprechend.
La ubicación! Puedes ir andando a los sitios turísticos desde el hotel. Probamos algunos platos en el restaurante, buenos y bien de precio.
El baño no estaba limpio... Habian pelos en el desagüe... La estructura de la cama hacía mucho ruido, parecía que se iba a romper solo al tumbarte ya...
check-in rapido, reception aperta H 24
zona sufficiente, stanza pulita mediocremente con varie carenze, rumori di lavori nei paraggi, macchie su federe e lenzuola del letto,

Sehr einfache Unterkunft mit einfachen Zimmern: Aber es hatte alles was man für einen 2-Nächte-Aufenthalt benötigt. Über das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis kann man sich nicht beschweren.
Zimmer hellhörig. Kein Safe. Komischer Geruch bei der Rezeption. Flecken in der Bettwäsche.
Es funcional, sin lujos pero con lo necesario para pasar la noche, el personal muy amable, relación calidad precio muy bien
Hotel perfecto para pasar un par de noches en Colombo. Ubicado en una zona tranquila, habitación amplia con ducha estilo europeo. Buen aire acondicionado, y tiene restaurante en la terraza para cenar o desayunar.
Todo perfecto
It is in the city centre. So all places and markets are closeby. Rooms are very clean.
There is no hot kettle in the room. It is a super basic item and the lack of it is inconvenient. You cannot even make tea coffee in the room. On top of that the Resturant is pathetic. Do not fall for the city view photos. It's a useless place with no options for vegetarians and service is extremely poor. Even a basic bread toast takes them forever to bring. This is not a place for families.
La camera non era molto pulita, le lenzuola e gli asciugamani erano macchiati e abbiamo chiesto di cambiarli appena siamo arrivati ed è stato fatto subito e senza problema.
La cosa migliore è stata sicuramente la cena e la colazione al ristorante, grazie a un cameriere davvero in gamba, gentile e iper disponibile!
