    Such a nice stay! The room is incredibly spacious and it's located upstairs from a very lovely cafe! Would say it's an underrated gem of Colombo! Location is good, but just so slightly tucked away so that you still feel like you're out of the city...

Property info

Srilax was created by husband and wife duo, Isuru and Shana - a couple who share a love for tasteful design, good vibes and easy living. The pair converted the upper floor of Café Kumbuk into Srilax, a family-friendly, 5-bedroom bed and breakfast with a modern, minimal aesthetic that is inspired by Sri Lankan heritage. Located in the heart of the city yet perfectly tucked away from the hustle and bustle, Srilax offers a stylish and convenient place to stay. Downstairs is Café Kumbuk, one of Colombo’s most loved cafes, with the same easy tropical vibe as Srilax. Co-owned by Shana and her mother, Dinali, Café Kumbuk offers a deliciously curated menu using locally sourced produce and spices, made fresh daily for you to enjoy.
