“My highlight was meeting the owner and his wife. So knowledgeable about many things. It was a delight to talk to them and learn about the culture. This is a small hotel but it was really well kept up and very clean. The bathroom was great - a kitchen to make coffee and tea and a small breakfast if you wanted it. Not many restaurants nearby, but one that is an 8 minute walk. I chose to eat there several times (named "Coffee Boss"). Great selection of cafe drinks and a great menu of food. ……
“Our recent stay at this peaceful oasis in Colombo was nothing short of delightful.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness by the incredible staff - especially Samantha, who went above and beyond to make our stay extra special.
The serene ambiance, coupled with a beautifully maintained pool, made for the perfect escape from the city's hustle.
Whether it was lounging by the water or indulging in the delicious food, every moment felt like a refreshing retreat.……
“The property is a great place to stay as a family and the interior of the unit is awesome. Only issue I found was the shower was clogged and it has been like that for the whole stay although notified. The interior materials were high quality with a great view of the city. The bedding could have been cleaned but they rectified as soon as noticed. The caveat of this building is the parking. If you are driving reconsider just based on my experience. ”
“Nous étions seules dans l'hôtel en saison basse. Les hotes etaient tres disponibles et prevenants. La piscine est un vrai plus. Le petit dej est tres complet et bon.Les chambres sont bien equipées. Parfait pour se reposer apres une nuit en avion. ”
“Old villa in heart of Colombo , tastefully renovated , quiet and clean . Very comfortable bed , clean kitchen and good food .
Mr Asangha Perera and his team at the admin desk were very capable and attentive .
He was in touch with us few days before our arrival , and since we were arriving late , took an order and made sure our dinner was delivered on our arrival .

“The place looked worse than the pictures. It is right in a village. Very dark and probably not ideal to stay here if you looking to walk around. Place not as clean as I thought it would be. Broken shower and dirty towel. Sands on the floor. Was just a mess”
“WOW. We walked in and realized that there are security cameras everywhere and the fact that the caretaker was to stay with us is not advertised at all. We didnt feel comfortable so we just left.. the worst part? Hotels.com was never able to reach the manager, so we never got refunded for the money. we did NOT stay here, so i would think twice before staying here. If you are okay with staying with a caretaker, why not? but we just didn't feel comfortable and something about this place was OFF and……
“Had a great 2 night stay at this apartment. Inside Havelock was nice and peaceful, also a convenient location within colombo for us. Basic amenities were available but we had planCheckin and checkout were smooth. ”
“The caretaker, Mr. Jey was fabulous. The house was very clean. All facilities were as described on the website. The Homeowner was very easily accessible and prompt to reply to all queries. We enjoyed the stay.”
“Had stayed in this apartment for 2 weeks with my Family.
The apartment was fully furnished with all appliance & very well maintained in a quiet locality. Best part it had a supermarket & laundry service in house.
Would Highly recommend for future visits.
The host was very cooperative too.

"This is my 3rd time staying at this hotel, I basically like this hotel because I feel it new, model, clean. I recommend to all my colleague who need to go to Sri Lanka.
However, this time, I feel a bit disappointed, the room wasn’t really clean,
- first day when I check-in, I find there have a bottle of water had been drunk half.
- I feel the carpet had something to bite
- sometime, the room service did not throw the rubbish even it was full
- room service will laid part of the quilt on the carpet
It make me a bit disappointed."
