The hotel is old. The lobby is new. The window views are boring although it's one of the places you get to see the ports. The equipment in the hotel are old, with some electrical equipment not working. Some of the drawers weren't cleaned well and even had fungi. The solar heating doesn't help. It's sustainable and I like that but hot water takes ages to come through. The food is alright, nothing special but the buffet is expensive. Breakfast is not the best, very basic The service and staff are very friednly and speak good English

The building feels very old, but in a good way, it feels like history! It's nice during the day, but at night it looked a little creepy and it was a little scary. Even when I went to bed, I slept with the light on a little! lol The bed was comfortable 👌 There are a lot of tuk-tuk touts in front of the hotel 💔 Overall I think it's a 3!

On the last day in Colombo, I stayed at the 200-year-old Oriental Hotel, GOH. I didn’t have high hopes for this hotel because Ctrip rated it 3 points and Booking rated it 6 points. All the reviews said it was too old. Plus The Ctrip price for one night including breakfast is only over 200. But because this hotel has a Chekhov Suite, Chekhov stayed here for a week after returning from Sakhalin Island and completed the short story "Gusev" here. Therefore, this hotel became the hotel that teammates requested to book. I didn't expect it to be a big surprise when I came here. First of all, we, 4 adults and 2 children, didn’t ask us to pay extra for breakfast. This was the only hotel in this trip that didn’t ask us to pay extra. In addition, we also checked into the Chekhov Suite, sat and took photos where he wrote his novels. Third, the room is fully equipped with a TV and refrigerator, and the wifi speed is the fastest in this trip. The boss is very interested in Panasonic TVs from the 1990s. Third, the various facilities in the room can be seen to be relatively old. The TV, refrigerator, and air conditioner are at least 30 years old, and the bed is estimated to be an antique bed that is 200 years old. However, it can be seen that the hotel is very attentive to maintenance. It may not have money to renovate, but it is trying its best with no money. Therefore, our room is very clean, without the damp and decaying smell of old rooms, but Full of light fragrance. Fourth, the rooms are very large, each room is at least more than 40 square meters, and Chekhov only costs 50 US dollars a night, but it is not available on Ctrip. Fifth, the location is very good, no matter where you go, you are within a radius of 3 kilometers. Sixth, the breakfast was pretty good, with the incomparable sea view. Before leaving, the boss tried his hand on the piano in the hall, which still had a sense of age. The sound quality was pretty good. Pictured is a photo of the Chekhov Suite

A hotel with a sense of history. The rooms are old. We were initially assigned a room that was moldy. Later, at our request, we moved it to another room. The room can see the pagoda. The bathroom is very small and difficult to wash. It's a bit troublesome to place the items, and those who have room requirements should think carefully. After all, the room is more than a hundred years old, and the price is there, but the hotel's location is very good, and it's convenient to take a bus or take a taxi wherever you go.

It is located in the city and is easily accessible and convenient. Breakfast was also good with lots of variety. The bed is big and the room is spacious. The shower was nice and warm too.
