Top Traditional Puppet Art Museum Hotel Reviews

Modern Villa Retreat in Dehiwala

10/10 Excellent

"This place was such a gem! Located very close to shops, restaurants, and transportation access. Our host and his wife were lovely and so welcoming! The whole house was perfect for our family for the week. The garden was full of plants and it was a relaxing oasis in the city. It was so nice to have a kitchen for our use for the week, and the tuktuk breakfast man came by every morning for us to buy pastries for breakfast. The rooms and beds were very comfortable and the AC worked well in the rooms. The beach is very close by as well. I would 100% stay here again, and would recommend this place for anyone looking for a vacation home to stay in Colombo."

Viveka Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Room and toilet were v v clean , staff were always happy to help. Felt safe. convenient location with shops and cafes nearby. will not stay anywhere else on my next trip."

Charming 3-Bedroom Apartment on the Beach-side with AC and WiFi in Mount Lavinia

10/10 Excellent

"We came to stay here after hopping around Sri Lanka doing sight-seeing and staying at various hotels along the way. Our stay was very comfortable and Mr. Daboo, the property manager, was very attentive to our needs. The apartment was adequately spaceous for a family of 6 with 3 kids, and we had air conditioning in all rooms. We really appreciated having the Smart TV with Netflix and Prime, which kept our kids entertained while we were at home (something we did not find in any of the hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka!)."

The Islands Breeze Villa

10/10 Excellent

"Clean property with all the essential amenities, close to all the landmarks and essentials of Colombo. Michael who runs the property was incredibly kind and helpful, and made me feel very safe in the area and helped me if I had any issues. Would definitely recommend this place to others"

Staysafe Marine Drive 3BR

"Great place! People should def try this if they are in colombo!"

Clock Inn Dehiwala - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place and superb staff. "

50 By The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"I recently visited Colombo for 5 days in October 2025 and stayed at 50 by the Sea - Had an excellent stay there and all my expectations were met - at times went above the expectations also. The apartment looks very new, is very well maintained and most importantly, its extremely clean. Ive visited Colombo many times and many times, I faced the issue of not so clean bathrooms at some residences - at 50 by the Sea, the bathrooms were so clean and neat that it looked like a 5 star hotel's washroom ( I am from luxury hospitality background, so I can assure you of this high, comparable quality at this place ) - The staff were extremely polite and helpful - I had a few encounters with their housekeeping team and security team - very warm, friendly and helpful. I requested for a few things during my stay and got immediate assistance. The Reservations Manager, Ms Shehara is very kind & approachable - she would often call me to check how I was doing and if everything was ok . The rooms are good in size for single travelers and couples - overlooking the Mt Lavinia beach and beautiful sea view. Any drawbacks ? Well, depending on what you are looking for : * The facility doesn't have its own dining outlet - which is not a big issue as there are many outlets nearby , walking distance. * The accommodation is very close to the Mt Lavinia Railway track so there is plenty of noise - may disturb some and some may find it hard to sleep - for me it was not a big issue "
