Comfortable and Modern Room

The room I stayed in was modern and spotless, with beautiful silk cushions on the bed. The bathroom was en suite and very clean, providing all the amenities I needed for a pleasant stay. It felt like a true retreat after a day exploring.

Delicious Roof Dining

I enjoyed breakfast and dinner on the rooftop, which offered a beautiful view while dining. The food was fantastic, especially the dinner pasta dish served with a lovely presentation. Eating out in the open air with the sunset was a nice experience.

Refreshing Bathroom Experience

The bathroom was a standout feature with its lovely warm showers. The water pressure was powerful and felt refreshing, especially in the tropical heat. This made getting ready each day a very pleasant experience.

I recently had a wonderful stay at Hotel Italia, where the warm hospitality and stunning views truly stood out. The rooms were beautifully decorated and air-conditioned, which was a lifesaver in the Sri Lankan heat. Dining on the rooftop was a highlight, although my experience in the restaurant had some ups and downs, including delays in service. Overall, it's a great place for a cozy stay, but I'd recommend being patient with dining during busy times.
