"Absolutely loved staying here although just brief! I landed at 11pm and needed a room for a night before meeting family for a tour. The hotel was in a great location with plenty of restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. Galle Face Green and the shopping mall just a quick tuktuk ride north. The room, lobby, pool and bathroom were great! The desk staff were absolutely gorgeous and helpful and so lovely - it was honestly the warmest welcome to Sri Lanka and I couldn't have asked...

"This property is designed to take care of your every need. You have a personal butler who you work with for everything—dining, outside excursions, a drink by the pool—and they do an excellent job. Our butler was Menuka and he was wonderful, helpful, and kind. We stayed on the property for the most part and chose to do all of our meals there because we liked the food and the convenience. It is a very small property and quiet so if you are really interested in disconnecting, this is a good choice....

"What a cool place. A beautiful 200-year-old colonial building. So peaceful, quiet and relaxing. The staff is super friendly and the food was nice. Pool was great. The staff also worked with us to let us enjoy the property a little longer before our evening flight. Thank you Dinesh. I would definitely stay here on your way to/from the airport."

Stayed on our last night in Sri Lanka as a stopover on the way to the airport. Can't remember exactly but it's about a 20 min drive. Hence can't comment on the local area and what's around. The hotel however is wonderful. Old colonial building tastefully renovated with great attention to detail. Food was also very good and reasonably priced. A real bit of luxury in great grounds. Would certainly recommend it.
Just as a side note - a made an error while booking the hotel, Hotels.com were less...

The hotel was absolutely incredible. Its surroundings were beautiful. We stayed in the Courtyard Suite and it was huge. The staff made the stay so special, and food was stunning! One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at! Thank you!

Fantastic 3 night stay. Helpful and friendly family run property not far from the city. We chose to walk which is quite a way but everything is accessible by tuk tuk and the daughter (sorry I don't know her name!) gave us some great bar/cafe recommendations. Room was clean with fan and air con and whilst we didn't eat at the property the smells from the kitchen were all good!!! Thank you...

The hotel Nippon was lovely. One of the old type hotels which has been refurbished. The lounge area was nice, lift was clean,staff helpful. The room was average size bed was comfortable. The view from the window wasnt appealing as it was residential and area not that good. However a 3 minute walk from the hotel took you to beautiful gardens, temples etc.
