Boasting sea views, Hotel 100 offers accommodation with patio, around less than 1 km from Mount Lavinia Beach. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

Booking.com and the particular hotel did not respect my reservation. Though i had been informed by the booking.com that my booking is confirmed, the hotel management didnt reserve any room for me, and they turned me away on my arrival at the hotel, which caused me utter difficulties to me and im vey dissatisfied over the hotel and the Booking.com.

Located in the suburbs of Colombo city, 55TG Boutique Suites offers an authentic home stay experience in a two story 1920's period house with a garden, outdoor pavilion, living room and a lounge.

I loved this hotel and the design and decor. I loved watching all the bridal shoots that were happening. I really loved the bridal magazines in the room, one of which featured 55TG in it! The swimming pool was my favourite feature and I liked being able to sunbathe up there Staff were friendly I did find the breakfast slightly disappointing but loved the curd and syrup 🙂

Boasting garden views, Home From Home provides accommodation with terrace, around 8.1 km from Bambalapitiya Railway Station. It is situated 12 km from R Premadasa Stadium and offers a shared kitchen.

Room was spacious and cozy. Value for the money. And very reasonable price. Room had kitchen and dining table too. Bathroom was clean. Parking is available by the road only, but not a issue. Roads to the villa are very narrow, drive carefully. Don't trust google maps always.

Set in Colombo on a private peninsula by the banks of the historic Diyawanna Lake, Aathma Colombo House provides accommodation with a garden.

This place is beautiful. From the garden and the patio facing the lake, to the surrounding nature, to the breakfast with the chorus of birds in the morning. The decorations and the art pieces make this place magical. We had also dinner, and that was absolutely delicious. The bed was super comfortable and the staff very helpful. We will come back for sure in the future!

A few steps from Mount Lavinia Beach, MountBaylk is a recently renovated property set in Mount Lavinia and offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private parking.

The property is about 50m from beach. One can enjoy the view of the Indian Ocean from the rooftop while enjoying food. There's a train track running close and is a source of entertainment. Every time a train passes, we were running to the balcony like kids. Breakfast is not included. All meals have to be paid, which is fine. The Chef Madhu is a good cook. He customised the menu for our Indian taste. The owner Mrs. Stephanie is very cordial, always smiling, and is a professional. She works personally and supervised most of the works. It was our last place of stay in Sri Lanka, and we rested a lot. Made a couple of visits to the beach and the city. The city is located about 15 km. Tuk Tuks and Cars are available and we used Uber.

    The hotel owner was very friendly and helpful and also the staff. It was very clean, neat and quiet without any disturbances. The shops and the restaurants are very near and also the local transportation was available. Scenarios of the sea is awesome. I would like to recommend others too to avail the facility at Para Inn Residence.
