7 miles from the city center, Kelaniya temple offers a beautiful temple, a huge stupa and this magnificent bodhi tree.

Admission is by donation and you should leave your shoes with one of the vendors before entering the complex. Tip: walking out the back of the complex allows you to get a photo of both the temple and stupa together.

"It was amazing. Great location. Clean luxury apartment. Will definitely stay again. "

"We walked in an apartment with dust and dirt on the floor, mould behind toilet door, mould on kitchen glass tray. They said this apartment was closed for some time. Housekeeping staff should be trained to check on details. Would not recommend for families who are particular about cleanliness. The management needs to take feedback seriously without giving excuses for lapses."

"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....

"We have one transit night in Colombo and choose this suit apparyment for family stay. The appartment was very neat and clean as well as secure with all facilities including stat of the art swimming pool. The owner Mr. Don was very helpful and supportive and assist us in all manners. The only drawback is you probably unable to go outside without necessary security access that can be granted during morning time."

"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. "

Top Kelaniya Hotel Reviews

Marino Beach Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Free city tour was a worthwhile and our guide and driver were super friendly. The hotel was beautifully presented and the staff accommodating in all our requests. Roof top bar and pool a highlight after a long day of travel. "

Granbell Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at Granbell Hotel Colombo. It closed out our two week stay in Sri Lanka, and was one of our highlights. The hotel itself is modern, comfortable and well located. The rooms are incredibly well suited for couples - perfectly sized and with an amazing view (if you are debating, upgrade to a sea view)! My only complaint is that the menu prices exclude VAT, and you are unaware of this until you receive your first bill! It means that the hotel is unfortunately very unreasonable for food and drink for Sri Lanka - but there are plenty of eating options in Colombo."

Mount Lavinia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Mount Lavinia Hotel offers an unforgettable stay with its stunning beachfront location, colonial charm, and above all, exceptionally friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. A special thank you to Dewmini, Lukshan, and Akini — your warmth and hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable. Every interaction felt genuine, and their service went far beyond expectations. The hotel’s seaside location is perfect for relaxing, with beautiful views of the Indian Ocean and easy access to the beach. The atmosphere is peaceful yet full of character, with elegant colonial architecture and a rich sense of history. Mount Lavinia Hotel delivers comfort, charm, and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back! "
