The Den 23
4.5/519 Reviews
The Den 23 is a perfect place to stay. The owner is very helpful and goes into detail when explaining and recommending places to visit. He also provides you with a leftlet that has some basic sinhala words. The roof top bar has an amazing view of the city. The staff is helpful and I'll recommend this place if you want to go around Colombo with little effort.
Port View City Hotel
3.8/543 Reviews
The Western breakfast was great. I could eat it every day. The room was clean, but there was a problem with the door lock design. After entering the room, I had to use a mobile phone to light and light to lock the door! Very inconvenient! The room was very noisy on the street the first night, it was much better to change into it later!
Jetwing Colombo Seven
4.4/574 Reviews
Cinnamon Garden
Excellent location, high level of service is fully matched to 5 stars. Quick check, help with baggage, change the wish-in-wait room. The rooms are clean, all fresh. Cool bar on the roof, very beautiful lighting, didn 't like just added to include about 25 percent in the account The pool and the view are amazing !
Earl's Red Colombo
3.4/52 Reviews
The location is a bit biased, there is a foodcity, the room is still good, there is a small refrigerator, the facilities are very new, the bath and the toilet are separate, good. It’s just that the soundproofing of the hotels in Sri Lanka is not good. There is always a sound at night, I don’t know if it is the sound of the train. An email from Ctrip is required at check-in. Stayed for one night, only for future reference!
Mr & MRS Smith Paradise Road Tintagel Colombo
4.5/545 Reviews
Cinnamon Garden
Quiet in the middle of noisy. It is an English-style mansion built during the colonial period of Sri Lanka in the 1930s. Tintagel is named after a castle in Cornwall, England (the birthplace of the legendary King Arthur) and Paradise Road is a high-end lifestyle brand created by local Sri Lankan designer Shanth Fernando. Geoffrey Bawa, a famous architect, participated in the design transformation. Before 2005, it was the residence of the President of Sri Lanka. The hall furniture layout combines the historical and cultural elements of the old objects (it is said to have been transported by China). The slightly oxidized brass chandeliers make the overall space more mysterious. All the artworks and paintings here are authentic. Therefore, a strong sense of art is born. It is definitely a photo resort (but make an appointment in advance. There are a total of 10 rooms in this hotel.) The last note is that I lived in ROOM 9 and was once a suite where Prince Charles lived.
De Saram House by Geoffrey Bawa
4.5/516 Reviews
Cinnamon Garden
I only managed to stay one night at De Saram House, which is a shame as I really liked the property. Admittedly it was initially somewhat hard to find, but once you are inside, it is so calm and picturesque that it feels like an oasis from bustling Colombo. I have attached a bunch of photos to showcase the serenity of the place. Location-wise it is also excellent, being in a quieter neighborhood that is in walking distance from very nice cafes such as Caramel Pumpkin and Seed Cafe and restaurants such as Upali's. Room-wise it is large, quiet and well-appointed, though do not expect 5-star facilities such as phone in your room or a small fridge. Which leads to my main comment - despite its luxurious look, this is very much a small establishment run by just 2 staff members. It is not a 5-star hotel with expected services such as food and drinks available and staff service all day long. Price-wise it is also not the level of a 5-star hotel so those expectations are flawed from the start. Instead, what you get is a super beautiful estate and a well-appointed and quiet room, led by very kind staff members who try their best to help. I did have some initial wifi issues but they were soon resolved. Anthony was the person who attended to me at De Saram House, and he was professional, courteous and helpful - even when I had to check out a 4:45am to catch my flight. So if you know what to expect going in, this could be the perfect stay for you in Colombo - I know that I personally truly enjoyed it.
