    Improvements - in the restaurant area, coffee and tea making facilities to be a bit more secure and spacious. To cater more for western tastes as opposed to locals - ie more cereals and yogurts. At time a bit too tight for numbers. Pay more attention to health and safety around the tea/coffee area. Milk gets very hot, better signs to indicate this. When floors are being mopped, to use wet floor sign so people are aware.

    Colombo is now getting better after a recession few years back. They are on a speedy recovery. There are lots of places you can visit for sightseeing. If you are going on a business trip, Colombo is an ideal space for staying as they have all the good locations (especially importers and huge markets). Better book private hire through a car company, it's way cheaper if you want to explore the city. Walking is also a good option.

    Beautiful city with clean and green infrastructure.

    Beautiful city with clean and green infrastructure. Recommended for Indians to visit. Shopping was good (Visited - One face mall, City Center mall, Havalock city mall). Galle face location was great to spend some time with family. Independent square, Gangarama Buddhist temple, Lotus tower tourist spots were nice. 2 days is enough to cover Colombo city.

    Havelock Garden BNB is very modern with a very pleasing aesthetic feel. It was spacious and had all the amenities you could possibly need. Great location with some great finds on your door step. Bus service, tuk tuks, shopping Mall, with a free ATM outside (inside charges) Sim card shop 50 metres away apx - end of the road. Sky Bar with infinity pool called Me Bar. Great to watch the city light up and it is happy hour 5-7pm - walking distance . To mention but a few. The housekeeper goes above and beyond to ensure you have a comfortable stay and her Sri Lanken Breakfast is delicious and will set you up for the day. We could also have an english breakfast if desired. We would most definitely stay again.

    The city is busy with chaotic traffic.

    The city is busy with chaotic traffic. On the night of the 25th city roads from Colombo 3 to Fort were closed and we did not know. When we got a taxi (Uber and Taxis were not able to reach us) they charged 6 times more than the usual fare. The tuk-tuks often charge foreigners very high fees. Make sure you get into one with a functional meter. There are good places to eat. Don't eat street food because their hygiene habits are questionable. Colombo is reported as a dengue-prone area. So use mosquito repellent. During December, there weren't many. Ask the hotel you stay for taxis or use their local Pickme app. Yet it is often wise to check the agreed fee. Otherwise they charge much higher.

    The De Saram House is a beautiful architectural gem in the heart of a leafy neighborhood in central Colombo. I stay here whenever I am in town as it is comfortable with restrained elegance and always affable, kind and generous staff. Why stay in a bland hotel when you can be in a home of architectural significance and feel like you can escape from it all?! Strongly recommended not only for architects and design inclined but for those seeking a different kind of experience from all the hotels that are now pervasive in this fast changing city.

    This was a tranquil place to arrive in Colombo. We were quickly out of the airport and into a peacful coutrtyard with bird song. We ate delicious home-cooked Sri Lankan breakfasts and were recommended some fantastic dinner options for the evening by our hosts, who were lovely people. They helped us with taxis, train times and more recommendations. We got to experience the bustle of Colombo but had this calm home to return to. This really feels like a special home and our room was a part of that experience.

    A perfect stay! We stayed here twice and i recommend it as your go-to stay in Colombo. Great location, clean, super kind and professional staff - the best staff we had in Sri Lanka. Awesome breakfast, also the best egg hoppers we had in over a month of intense travel: crispy on top, soft yet not too thick and well cooked at the bottom... Pure delight! The rooftop pool is clean and they also had a nice live music solo gig on one of the evenings. Provided a great comfy crib for our baby too.

    A lovely hotel that has a long and distinguished history on the Colombo sea front. The staff were extremely helpful and the view from the roof top pool as the sun sinks into the Ocean is glorious! They have one of the best and most authentic Sri Lankan restaurants in Colombo. The late 4pm check out option on our room was a really big plus as it was perfect time for us to get to the airport checkin to make our flight. Id give a high recommendation of this excellent hotel.

    Loved our stay in this beautiful house. TJ and his staff were fantastic and made stay here very comfortable. TJ was a mine of very interesting information on Colombo and the history of this house. We were fortunate enough to stay when the house was used for wedding photography which gave us an unique insight to Sri Lankan weddings. We were served Sri Lankan breakfasts by Dilshan who explained all the dishes to us and don’t forget to take a dip in the pool.

    the hotel is centrally located in Colombo there is a small mall attached with a keells grocery and Delma tea, not to forget that the hotel has 10 restaurants of various cuisine so you are spoilt for choices really. the staff is very attentive from the valet to concierge to reception to even housekeeping and ground staff. even though it was a business trip for me, I highly recommend this place before you move ahead with your journey of touring Colombo.

The staff were warm and welcoming, with every possible need anticipated in advance. The Sri Lankan breakfasts and an incredible Thali for diner remain the best food we have had so far in Sri Lanka. We look forward to a return visit, hopefully in the not too distant future!
