Colombo 07 Charming Home Stays

Located in a quiet, green and nice neighbourhood. The property is run by Gayatri who’s a friendly and chatty host. They had a water dispenser! And so many books. On the whole a lovely place.

Not so much that I didn’t like but the breakfast could be a little more varied.

One week business trip: 5 min. walking to conference venue BMICH (opposite: supermarket). My balcony room facing front (balcony access via shared dining room/kitchen, or just through opened window). For added privacy, just keep left curtain closed. Bright, clean room, bed with mosquito netting (largely decorative: both sockets supplied with insecticide vaporizers [transfluthrin]: using ~2 hrs/day should suffice). Air conditioner and ceiling fan -- using only the latter helped adjust to outside heat. Lovely, communicative host family and staff, breakfast in their quarters: fresh diced fruit, tomato & onion omelette, toast, butter, jam, milk tea (the more adventurously inclined might opt for local [spicy] offering - for me, amply supplied at conference catering). Clean bath with shower (right control for both water flow and temperature). Small refrigerator and tea kettle in room, fully equiped kitchen and dispenser for cooled drinking water on same floor. Safe location in gated community (manned barrier closing for the night).

Stay too short -- would've loved to stay longer to explore the city

Hele lieve gastvrouw, heel gastvrij en makkelijk. Er werd voor ons een ontbijt gemaakt in haar huis en ze kwam gezellig bij ons zitten voor een leuk gesprek. Onze bagage mocht er blijven staan na uitchecken zodat wij een laatste trip konden doen. En dat was heel veilig, want alles zit op slot. Prima douche en schone kamer. Aanrader. Neem wel een tuktuk of taxi naar het centrum van Colombo want dat is een eindje weg. Maar via de Uber app is er binnen een paar minuten vervoer. Super accomodatie!

Alleen de afstamd tot het centrum. Verder alles top.

Excellent location- tucked away on a quiet cul de sac in central Colombo. I also appreciated all the common rooms we could access including a kitchen, living room and small deck. Really a home away from home!

I gave it a 10 so it was a pretty great stay!
