Different areas of this incredible city have their own...
Different areas of this incredible city have their own character and offerings for the visitor, so it's worth varying the locations during a stay to find what best suits one's needs and preferences. We found Mount Lavinia more walkable and good for live music. Mount Lavinia Hotel for example is a beautiful example of Brit/Ceylon architecture with a very interesting history and, even for non-guests, has an excellent lunch and dinner buffet, as well as free pool access and regular high-standard live entertainment. Nearby restaurants also had live music mid-week. Colombo generally has an enormous wealth of visitor attractions reflective of its complex and ancient history and culture for travellers (at any level of budget) who can see past the crowded commerce and traffic to the marvels and beauty of the capital of this ancient land, while seeking a deeper and more transformative experience. Overlaying all that's on offer is the entrenched good-humoured KINDNESS of the Sri Lankan people, so profound and genuine it can veritably astound the newcomer. Modern Sri Lanka has long taken back its dignity from its colonial past, but its intrinsic imperative of human generosity has remained a constant. Colombo, along with every city, town and village of Sri Lanka offers jewels, metaphorically and physically, to the visitor, like no other nation on the planet, and must not be missed by those who have the ability to perceive its value.
All that said, Sri Lankan cities need to implement vehicle pollution laws! Sensitive noses are well-served by masks.

Colombo city is very vibrant and busy,as most city's are.
Colombo city is very vibrant and busy,as most city's are. there are plenty of places to visit and plenty of economical restaurants offering genuine Sri lankan cuisine. I have only one disappointment about Colombo in general,which I would be more than happy to discuss with the Sri Lanken tourist board,should they contact me.

Several good malls including my favorite on the sea front, with good eating choices, places to get haircut, manicure etc. Galle Face mall reasonably close to several sites of interest e.g. lighthouse, clock tower.
Tuk tuk drivers can be a pain, taking you to the wrong hotel, or trying to get you go somewhere other than your destination e.g. gem store, massge spa. Be firm, if find good one get his number.
Good base for excellent day excursions to Galle Fort, a world heritage site. Also went to Kandi and its wondeful temple and nearby gardens.
Went in July, hot but could walk reasonable distance, unlike my next stop Dubai.
If went back I might be tempted to split time with Galle.

Surprisingly clean.
Surprisingly clean. Thought it would be similar to Indian cities but it is way less hectic, much cleaner and the people are MUCH nicer! A variety of different areas offer a lot a do from the modern area around One Galle Face shopping centre to the craziness of Pettah and the more historic areas. We felt 100% safe the entire time we were there. Huge range of dining options everywhere from western fast food chains to small local eateries. Plenty of public transport. Beautiful gardens and wonderful sunsets at Galle Face Green. Just be careful of hailing a tuk tuk on the street. They do try to rip you off. Just use the Uber App to book transport. A 20 minute Uber ride across the city literally costs $4 Australian!

Very friendly and quite people .
Very friendly and quite people . I had the opportunity to mix with citizens in public transport. The best people ever. No noise , respectable and helping strangers. A great place for Arabic travelers where so many citizens speak arabic.
Srilax are probably the best tiny boutique hotel with a beautiful cafe/garden, the friendliest staff, the most comfortable feel and really has been our home away from home while in Sri Lanka. Staff, omg wonderful. Food, coffee, divine. Rokms no matter which one u choose, all fabulous. Linen, towels, to the filtered water and incense. Soap provided, easy access in and out, and decor to fit the garden/boutique/homely feel and vibe to the whole place. We just LOVE staying here thanks guys once again
We spend 2 days in Ellen's Place just after landing in Colombo. It's a really great place to start Your journey in Sri Lanka.
Rooms are big and nice, staff is very friendly and helpful.
It is not located in centre so tuktuk is useful to get eg to National Museum (no problem to get one); also You don't have many restaurants around but staff can organize a lovely dinner in hotel.
Overall - if You're looking for a peaceful stay in Colombo - very recommended.
This hotel felt like an oasis of calm. It was the best hotel we stayed in during our stay in Sri Lanka. The room was small but spotlessly clean, and the bathroom was fab.
There were no windows, but this added to the peace, stopped the mosquitos & made it cooler.
There was a safe and somewhere to hang clothes!
Very close to restaurants and bars.
The staff were happy to store our luggage as we arrived too early to check in.
We definitely recommend this hotel.
We booked panoramatic room for our last 2 days in Sri Lanka. Honestly, couldnt done better! Our room was sparkling clean, with jawdropping view from 21st floor. Never happened to me that we actually didnt even leave the hotel, because it was so nice up at the infinity pool with breathtaking views of Colombo. Also room servise is good, tasty snacks. Breakfast and dinners had huge selection of food, both sri lankan as well as international.
This place is a very good choice for a stay in Colombo.
The villa is a very qiet place, you´ll meet a very friendly team and the rooms are nice, modern with a traditional touch. Good Wifi!
Try the Sri Lankan breakfast!
Best places for sunset: Mount Lavinia Beach or Galle Face Hotel.
We will definitely come back next time.
