Sousa Residence

Very convenient place to stay in Bampalapitiya! Very friendly owners!

The place is located about a 30-minute walk to the port, 1 min to the supermarket, and 1 min to the main road. The room is very spacious as is the bathroom. There is a separate entrance to the building (owners live downstairs). There is air conditioning, a fan, a hairdryer, a washing machine, desk to work at as well. The bed was very comfortable and very big. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there.

The room is quite dark, however, if you are out during the day, this is not an issue.

Good accommodation for a good price in the city

Lots of mosquitoes

The room is big enough, bed is comfortable and quiet during the night. It fits the purpose of shower and sleep. Owners are nice and kind.

No mosquitoes prevention, just an almost empty spray can. No shower gel available, you have to bring your own, even for a day, and as a traveler that's what you need to carry... No private balcony, it's just an outside hall connecting other rooms/spaces. The balcony would have been at the entrance 🤨, but you have to pass the hallway and kinda of a living room. Natural light is poor due to the room across the window. Paint on the walls is exfoliating, smell of naphthalene in the room, the presence of it in the closet, even the towel needs fresh air for more that 2 days to get fresh, because you find it in the closet. Asking for a fresh towel doesn't help because they are all kept that way. Presence of cats should be mentioned in the posts.
