Featuring city views, Colombo 07 Charming Home Stays features accommodation with balcony, around 2.9 km from Bambalapitiya Beach. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Everything from start to finish, from the spacious and comfortable room. The location is great, quiet and safe. Guyathri was kind and welcoming. An incredible conversationalist. She gave me a wonderful list of places to visit in Colombo. Ended my journey at Barefoot gallery/cafe. Highly recommend. Read a review about the blinds and there wasn’t an issue.

All units at the homestay come with a seating area. The homestay offers some units that feature a terrace and inner courtyard view, and units are fitted with a private bathroom and a desk. At the homestay, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. The owner is really doing everything to make you feel comfortable. You can speak with her more or less anytime and she will take time to answer all your questions. I really appreciated how she adjusted to my needs and offered me a room which was perfect for me. Her son was also very supportive and even drove me to the immigration centre early in the morning. Both of them were really helpful. Thank you very much! If you are a dog lover, ask if you can play with their really sweet golden retriever (you might not see him, as he is most of the time on the backyard of the building). If you are strong enough, ask if you can take him for a walk. He will be very grateful for that.

Featuring city views, Geoffrey Bawa's Home Number 11 provides accommodation with balcony, around less than 1 km from Bambalapitiya Beach. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Featuring a private entrance, the guest house allows guests to maintain their privacy. Everything! This was on my bucket list for a very long time. Spending a night in the very house that the legend Geoffrey Bawa lived & worked was in itself a moving experience. Beautifully maintained by the trust. Every corner, every piece of furniture & art has a story to tell. Staff is wonderful & breakfast was delicious. Can't wait to return to Colombo & stay here again.

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

The property is located 7 km from R Premadasa Stadium, 7 km from U.S. Embassy and 8 km from Khan Clock Tower. Arcade Independence Square is 4 km away and Sinhalese Sports Club is 4.1 km from the guest house. Hot tub on the large balcony, amazing staff, great food, amazing pool, what is there not to like about this place? I stayed just one night with my two young children, the suite was spectacular, and the art and detail were just awesome. Having stayed in hundreds of hotels in my time I can tell you that this is world-class.

The units are equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a fridge, a kettle, a walk-in shower, a hair dryer and a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet and free toiletries, units at the homestay also provide guests with free WiFi, while some rooms here will provide you with a terrace. At the homestay, all units have bed linen and towels. This villa was the perfect location for our visit to the passport office. We traveled to Sri Lanka and were able to obtain the passport under the emergency service. The villa is within walking distance of the Sri Lanka Immigration (Passport Office), making the process much more convenient. The place was very good—clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with big rooms. The owner was extremely helpful, accommodating our requests, and allowing us to come and go at any time. Highly recommended!
