Nicest place we stayed in Sri Lanka. After many nights with a family all in one room in was so nice to have some space and just look out at the amazing view! Use of the pool was also lovely. Shanuka popped round on the first night to help us with ideas for our visit and has been a great host.

Had a really nice stay Great value for starters, but also staff helped with anything we needed and room was really nice and comfortable. Location is good as it's better value than many places which were only slightly norther, but there was enough restaurants and grocers around the area and super easy to get a pick me or uber to sites Will definitely stay again if in Colombo

My extensive experience with high-quality hotels in numerous countries meant I had no particular expectations upon arrival. It is not my custom to compose reviews, as my primary objective is to enjoy my stay. Nevertheless, I was most agreeably surprised by the Hotel Nuwa in City of Dreams. The courteous personnel and management demonstrated remarkable attentiveness in catering to my every requirement. A notably valuable amenity is the provision of a personal butler, designed for guests desiring an indulgent experience.

I've never stayed in a place where it was so clean and tidy. The owners and the staff really care about you and you feel like home! The area is also super safe to walk around! They have sent me so many recommendations about Colombo which made my stay perfect! I even extended one more night to enjoy the city life! If I ever come back to Srilanka I would choose this place!
