Excellent place to stay

Great stay. But not close to any shops/ restaurants unlike other areas in colombo

10/10 Exceptional

This place is quiet and clean, perfect to rest and recover from travelling and for a very affordable price. Dennis the owner was very helpful in finding a driver for a day trip that I did on my last day there. Believe the other reviews - this place is a nice one. The location is not in the busy centre of Colombo but you can walk to museums from here, no problem (or a short taxi trip is walking is not your thing). I didn't take up the offer of breakfast but they provide it is you like.

4/10 Fair

Nothing much to like other than the location. The place is badly maintained with hardly any staff. The front door is shut by 8.30 PM which was inconvenient. The reception is shockingly badly kept as are the exterior areas.Rooms maintenance is dismal. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Séjour excellent dans cette guesthouse parfaite.
Très bon séjour dans une guesthouse parfaite et au calme d’une ruelle en retrait de la route. Nous avions une grande chambre au rez de chaussée avec terrasse. Très bien équipée avec plateau de courtoisie. Belle salle de bain avec produits de toilette. Excellent petit déjeuner très copieux, avec service impeccable. Le wifi fonctionne très bien. Pas utilisée mais la piscine m’a semblée très propre, comme toute la maison. Directeur très accueillant et serviable ainsi que son équipe. Peu de restaurants dans le quartier, privilégier le tuktuk car pas tout proche du front de mer.

Comfortable start to out Sri Lankan adventure
It was only a short stay as we arrived late at night and left the next day at checkout. Sudharshan was very responsive in organising transport for us both before our stay and while we were there. The room was nice, clean and they provided slippers and robes. Location was good. Walking distance to Black Cat Cafe and Cinnamon Gardens. Good value. Would stay here again.

Wunderschön!!
Eine wunderschöne Oase etwas ausserhalb vom Stadtzentrum. Das Zimmer war sehr schön, inklusive eigenem Whirlpool. Das Essen war sehr lecker, es empfiehlt sich auch einmal in der Unterkunft zu essen. Das Personal war sehr bemüht und sehr freundlich!

En oas med flera bra restauranger nära
Mycket trevligt bemötande. Mysig innergård med liten svalkande pool att flyta i. Ett vackert blommande tempelträd skuggar poolen lätt. Kall öl och färska juicer är inga problem. Fina rena rum med te och kaffe finns på rummet. Vi har varit här två ggr sammanlagt 8 nätter. Liknande service och mysighet bägge gångerna.

Fantastic Ellen's place
Fantastic, the hotel manager was ready for us when we arrived at 2am. Room was fabulous. The manager was very helpful with information regardin places to see in Colombo. Only stayed 2 nights but would recommend. Pool is small but really cool after a hot day.
