科倫坡成功酒店

This hotel was one of the most surprising I’ve stayed at. I have never heard of a hotel making it compulsory for guests to pay for a Gala dinner on December 31st. Nowhere on their website or the Trip.com app was it mentioned that guests are required to pay $30 USD per person before booking. Instead, they only inform you after you've made your reservation. When I arrived and checked in, the customer service representatives told me I had to pay $120 USD for four people attending the Gala dinner. When I explained that I didn’t want to attend, they refused to give me the room key. As for the Gala dinner itself, there were very few options for vegetarians, but the desserts were quite good. Regarding the room, the bed frame was chipping, and the chairs had noticeable dark stains. While the hotel has a beautiful beachfront view, there's a train track directly in front, and every time a train passes, the noise is extremely loud. If you're planning to stay here for New Year's, I strongly recommend calling the hotel in advance to confirm their policies. On a positive note, the young front desk staff were polite and helpful.
