First of all upon arrival to the hostel it was very very appealing from the road, I felt like I was arriving to a fancy condo in the states 🤣 Chavvy & Shailie were amazing, they made me feel so welcome that I really left feeling like I have family, from good laughs to even dropping me off at the bus stop because I was a little nervous - tremendous. I put my hammock up in the garden which the caretakers helped with & was astonishing to simply be in the amazing garden with such diverse wildlife (there was even a local peacock!) I only booked this hostel because I'm a travelling yoga teacher and needed somewhere calm to practice & teach - Alma hostel allowed me to do just that, with excellent ifi and many spaces to teach from whether the garden, the upstairs lobby/co-working space or even my room was big enough. My all time favourite thing about Alma's was the interior design - like wow. Everything was custom made with wicker/bamboo and the interior was exceptionally clean - I genuinely felt like I was crashing at my own place. Loved it so much.

The hotel room was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic. The best part was the spa. Lakhmani was my therapist. The massage and the spa ambience were an experience to remember.

The villa was excellent—clean, spacious, and peaceful. Maorika ma'am was incredibly kind and made sure we felt at home. She also treated us to an amazing Sri Lankan dinner. The Wi-Fi connection was reliable too.

We had the most wonderful stay at Grannie’s House Villa. The villa is beautifully maintained, with thoughtfully designed interiors and modern fittings that make it both stylish and comfortable. Every corner of the space felt inviting, and it was clear that great care has gone into keeping it in perfect condition. We especially enjoyed the games and recreational touches, which added such warmth and fun to our stay. It truly felt like a home away from home! a lovely space to relax and create lasting memories. Highly recommended!

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.
