Set in Gonawala, 9.3 km from R Premadasa Stadium and 11 km from Khan Clock Tower, Tranquil at Airport Reach offers spacious air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi.

The Location of the property is very convenient, just a 2 minute walk to the main road where one can catch a bus or Tuk Tuk to travel to Colombo city or Waterworld which is very near. The Greenery and homes nearby, is very comforting and brings you the feeling of being back in Nature. The property owned by Melani is very beautiful, with big rooms. The entire first floor is secluded and private with bathroom and balconies. The bedroom is comfortable and the air conditioning keeps the room nice and cool on a hot day. There was also good wifi available. Even though I spent only one day here, I visited this place often as a friend of mine was staying at the property for a few weeks. Melani is a very good Hostess and there is always a good Sri Lankan breakfast available. Puttu, Idy appams, hoppers along with good Sri Lankan tea or coffee. Also the Kitchen could be used by guests to whip up some interesting food whenever we were hungry. Melani was very helpful in giving tips where to travel and shop. Unfortunately I stayed only one night here and wished I had stayed longer.

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!

Set just 10 km from R Premadasa Stadium, Duvi's Shelter Bungalow features accommodation in Colombo with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a shared kitchen.

This beautiful bungalow is located in one of a very tranquil surroundings in Colombo and is just minutes away from the immigration office. It is owned by a very sweet family who have converted their top floor in a home stay. The rooms are spacious, neat and very well maintained. They have a small beautiful garden overlooking from the balcony. Family and staff were very warm and welcoming, spent a lovely evening with them over a pleasant conversation on my last day. I had a very comfortable stay here and will surely come again if I am in Colombo next time.

Offering garden views, College House Cosy Room is an accommodation located in Colombo, 2.9 km from R Premadasa Stadium and 8.2 km from Bambalapitiya Railway Station.

College House is one of the most authentic places you can find in Colombo. It’s a spot where you can truly feel the city’s vibe. The owners are amazing and inspiring people—they gave me plenty of helpful tips for navigating the city during my first days in Sri Lanka and genuinely cared about my well-being. Also, don’t believe anyone who says there’s nothing to see in Colombo—it’s simply not true!
