Hotel Ellen's Place
31, Shady grove avenue, Colombo 08., Borella, 00800 Colombo, Sri Lanka – Great location - show map
We liked the location. It was in a quiet neighborhood, away from the hustle and bustle of Colombo City center, yet very accessible by tuk tuks and cars. There were many parks around and the swimming pool is an absolute charm. We really liked it. They were kind and helpful from check-in to check-out and even arranged Taxi to take us to the airport at a very reasonable price.
VietnamThe staff is so nice and helpful. They made us feel so comfortable at home in this beautiful place. Beautiful room and shower and the pool was quite nice after a long day walking in Colombo.
CanadaVery spacious rooms and lots of pleasant sitting areas throughout the hotel. Lots of indoor/outdoor space filled with plants and small trees nicely done.
United States of AmericaThis is an amazing place! Good location and tuktuks or Uber can take you anywhere. The staff was super helpful and caring, I felt like home! The room was very clean, they provide all the essentials you need, wifi connection was good. The swimming pool and lounge area look beautiful! Great spot for pictures ✌ I definitely recommend staying at Ellen's place.
