Good Location/Underwhelming Room
Positives are that it's in a great central location near the Red Mosque and restaurants and a great price. The staff was really friendly and helpful as well and helped me arrange airport transportation. Negatives are that the internet didn't work the day I was there, the room A/C was set to 32 degrees and I couldn't adjust it, and the room and hotel itself seemed a little run down and creepy. I didn't mind too much since I was there for just a night before my flight home, though. Would recommend for short stays because of the price and location.

Would not recommend.
Great location. However the room was very dirty and the washroom really stunk. The lift was broken. Night staff is rude. Day staff very friendly.

the hotel was difficult to find the cab driver had
This hotel was average in comfort and cleanliness It was in an obscure location and the cab driver had to stop and ask for directions at least twice. There was no tea making facilities in the room The staff were helpful and provided information on tourism and street directions.
Response from Manager - Metro Port City Hotel on 6 Jan 2018
Thanks for the feedback! The hotel is in the city, and is nearby popular tourist attractions, so it's surprising the driver did not know the location. Had he called the hotel, we would have directed him to find the place easily. Our housekeeping is done daily, so the hotel is always kept clean. We also have a common area with free tea and coffee, as we do not offer refreshments in the room.

Seriously, other bad reviews are exagerated. People expect to have a palace for 20$?? The room was perfectly find for this kind of budget hotel. Staff was very kind and helpfull. Neighbourhood can be creepy on sundays and at night but ok during the day. Bed was confortable. I had a view on the city and the lotus tower on the 6th floor.

Hôtel très moyen, suffisant pour une nuit
Nous avons séjourné ici une nuit pour être proche de la gare et prendre le premier train pour Kandy. Le quartier n'est pas vraiment sympa et très bruyant. Il est situé juste à côté de la mosquée donc réveil obligatoire la nuit...

Dear Eero, Pictures may differ based on the type of room that you had booked. But, all the pictures are actual photos of the rooms at our hotel. We are priced quite nominally for a hotel located close to the Fort area, and quick access to the shopping markets of Colombo.

Not impressed
The hotel is pretty close to the train station Colombo Fort, so you can walk there. The room is nothing exceptional, neither the staff so only for connected flights or trains.
