Easily my favorite hotel during my entire Sri Lanka trip. This was the one place where I really felt like I was staying at a proper professional hotel rather than a smaller homestay-style property. The staff was excellent, particularly Raman, who was probably the best hotel employee we encountered during the entire trip. Very professional, experienced, friendly and attentive. He handled our check-in, helped us during breakfast, was available whenever we needed anything and even helped me arrange a PickMe ride to the airport, which saved us a lot of money. Raman also told us about places to visit nearby, including Majestic City, the coastal area and the railway station. His recommendations helped us make the most of our final evening in Colombo. Excellent location. Majestic City, the coast and the railway station were all within walking distance. Even my mother, who has arthritis and has difficulty walking long distances, was able to explore the surrounding area with me. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. We had one large bed and one smaller bed and both were very comfortable. Great air conditioning and good room facilities overall. We also had a very nice view overlooking the garden area of a nearby church. The bathroom has an unusual design, with the sink inside the main room while the toilet and shower are behind separate doors, but we didn't have any problem with it. There was no breakfast buffet, but we were given a very large breakfast with plenty of options and Raman made sure everything was taken care of. Our check-in was slightly late, but it wasn't a problem and everything was handled professionally. The location really helped us enjoy Colombo. We had a lovely evening exploring the area and Majestic City in particular was a great place to spend our final night. Our only regret was that this was the end of our Sri Lanka trip and we only stayed here for one night.

Colombo Eco Lodge is comfortable and aesthetically-pleasing hotel. I felt at home thanks to Sampath's (the owner) hospitality. The environment is calm and peaceful, and the rooms are well-maintained. The hot water works well, which is a big plus! The beds are cozy, the meals are delicious, and I was able to rest well before my flight. There are also affordable restaurants and ATM locations nearby.

A really fabulous place to stay in Colombo. A little further away from the centre / main Colombo attraction, but otherwise cheap and easy to get to with an Uber.. Also being hidden away from the larger hotels gave it a different appeal, to explore the surrounding, less touristy area, and also the fact it is an original bungalow from the colonial times, with the rooms largely left as they were (but renovated for comfort), gave it a real, authentic charm, unlike a standard hotel room. Breakfast was also amazing - a great way to try the local cuisine, and their dinner restaurant is well known and very lively in the evening with people coming from all over Colombo for the food. The pool is also a lovely addition for a calm morning or evening swim after a busy day out in Colombo and the staff and locals who care about the guest experience and ensuring everyone enjoys their stay.

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!
