We were a bit afraid when we booked our room as the ratings have been quite poor here. However, our room (deluxe) wasn't bad at all and the bed was really comfortable. After checking out we could store our luggage in the lobby during the day and they arranged a taxi to the airport for R2300.

I have stayed in this hotel twice during my trip to Sri Lanka. Honestly if you are looking for a short stay than this is probably the best in the lot of Budget properties that can serve your purpose. Indian will always get rooms on 7th & 8th Floor as it is a Hotel Policy. Rates will depend on the... More

After a less than satisfying experience in another, slightly less costly hotel, the Pearl City was a breath of fresh air.

Their towels are dirty, the shower tub leaks,and after shower the whole bathroom is flooded. Rooms are... More

We stayed in this hotel and it was smelly and not at all clean. I agree with the previous comment. " horrible stay" . Their prices also too high whereas we found there were so many other hotels with a good standard and better price. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to have a decent holiday...
