Hotellit lähellä Colombo Diyawanna Oya Seaplane Base

Plussat: The Villa itself was quaint, immaculate in presentation, comfortable and relaxing. We used the pool to cool off after a hot day and sat around it at other times simply enjoying the calm in a busy city. The service was exceptional, friendly, helpful and they went above and beyond to meet our needs. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Great experience all round.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Had the most comfortable and relaxing stay. Thanks gentlemen for making it good for us. Centrally located.. easy access to all shopping joints as well as beach and Gangaramaya Buddhist Temple ...

Plussat: Staff helpful in organising our stay in Sri Lanka

Plussat: The best location, the heart of city and sea and main road is at 5 min distance In terms of service ...superb welcome gesture , great hospitality and very polite and smiling staffs. Rooms and comfort are at good level so good value for money .

Miinukset: Every thing is great , dont have a regret.

Plussat: Room was really spacious and comfortable for our family. Staff were lovely and accommodating. We only stayed one night so cant' comment much on location but this property also helped us with car transfer with baby seat which was super helpful.

Miinukset: Please dont use plastic straws. This feedback applies to almost every place in Sri Lanka but i will leave feedback here and hope that properties one by one can change their ways.

Plussat: The location is very central, staff super friendly and helpful, breakfast was great and the villa itself is very beautiful. We loved out stay.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Extremely warm and hospitable staff, generous breakfast, spotlessly clean and excellent location in nice part of Colombo with easy walk to National Museum. Great pool! Genuine affection for my young child and family and all the patience and help I could ask for with bookings and arrangements. A wonderful start to our Sri Lankan holiday.

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Miinukset: Fabulous breakfast. Lovely stay. Great hosts.

Plussat: Beds super comfy. Host was AMAZING, very helpful and very personable. Wish we had been here longer!

Miinukset: Breakfast was very basic esp for Vegetarians

Plussat: Very nice and helpful staff. Nice and clean room. Sri Lankan breakfast is the highlight.

Miinukset: Dinner was disappointed. No flavours and not fresh. They should have a small menu and make that fresh.

Plussat: Historian havina sai ajattelemaan menneitä.

Plussat: The hotel is like a country house and our room was colonial style and large and well appointed Breakfast and meals were freshly cooked and generously portioned Staff were friendly and efficient The courtyard and public spaces were exceptional

Miinukset: Nothing really First floor room so lack of lift was not an issue In a residential area a little way from the centre but that was a good thing in many respects

Plussat: The staff were great, the place has a lot of potential.

Miinukset: The sink in the bathroom had cracks all over. Furnitures in the room need maintenance all were worn out, lights need to be turned off individually. Which is a pain. If you are paying such rates you don’t expect to walk into the bathroom every time and see a sink like that.

Plussat: The building itself, lobby.

Miinukset: Cracked bathroom sink and looks dirty, no power near the bed sides so an extension had to be pulled to the bedside for power. There are no master switch to the lights, so each of the lights have to be turned off individually. The door locks take forever to open with keys. Most of the fixtures in the room is worn out to the point it is nasty. Apparently house keeping was “closed” at 12am. Haven’t heard of a 5 star hotel that shuts down its house keeping. the photos below.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The food and the location

Plussat: everything was extraordinarily comfortable, tasteful and aesthetically pleasing. first rate staff. a really beautiful hotel.

Plussat: Great staff. Extremely helpful to our requests and accommodated our needs.

Miinukset: Child bed offered was dangerously unsafe.

Plussat: Great service from v friendly people who went out of their way to be helpful;. A quiet oasis

Plussat: Great location, just outside city, short tuk tuk ride or bus in, next to golf course. Staff are very friendly and helpful especially Sadhu who went out of his way, on both of my visits to Ellen’s Place. I’m going back again very soon.

Plussat: The hospitality is wonderful. There's a welcome drink which is greatly welcome in the Sri Lankan heat. The hotel has an old world charm to it and beautifully design. Its located in a neighborhood outside of the city centre so was quiet at night. Room was clean and our bathroom came with a bathtub which was a great way to end our trip in Sri lanka

Plussat: good welcome

Miinukset: We needed to be woken at 5am, they didnt do this, very upset about that

Plussat: Great staff. Extremely helpful.

Miinukset: Child bed offered was dangerously unsafe.

Plussat: We liked the location. It was in a quiet neighborhood, away from the hustle and bustle of Colombo City center, yet very accessible by tuk tuks and cars. There were many parks around and the swimming pool is an absolute charm. We really liked it. They were kind and helpful from check-in to check-out and even arranged Taxi to take us to the airport at a very reasonable price.

Miinukset: There were plenty of mosquitoes in the bedroom which they could have sprayed. However, given the location (Colombo), it is a common thing. We wish the price could have included breakfast, but aside from that, it was all really good. Highly recommended, and will definitely stay there again if I come back to Sri Lanka.

Plussat: We only stayed for one night before our flight back home, it is an ok hotel, the room was clean and spacious with private bathroom which was nice, big comfortable bed, the tv, balcony was nice. We asked for a taxi early in the morning and it was there on time, the staff was helpful.

Plussat: - friendly staff - nice rooms

Miinukset: - slow internet - tv program choice very limited or local -

Plussat: Incredible staff, very helpful and didn't expect anything in return. Very friendly, can't express how great they were! Good location.

Miinukset: The room could use a deep clean, but it was very charming. Pool was dirty but very aesthetic, didn't swim. Nice to dip your feet in and read next to.

Plussat: Very quaint little place very rustic with nice little garden More of a homestay than hotel The staff were very nice and polite,got us taxis everywhere we needed to go Breakfast-was good fresh juice, toast, jam ,omelette There was a pool table

Miinukset: I booked a double deluxe room and didn’t get it Was told that room wasn’t available Which was outrageous as I’d prebooked and clearly if that room wasn’t available I should have been informed You look at pictures that they’re promoting and expect (to a degree) that’s what your getting ! Our room was small dark had two single beds (that they pushed together and thought they had solved the problem) to be honest it was too hot to even argue and I just took the room I was only staying two nights. The rooms weren’t cleaned on the daily I had to ask for loo roll, my bin wasn’t emptied and there were a few cockroach’s And the pictures on booking.com are clearly outdated There is a small supermarket round the corner which was handy

Plussat: Such a lovely place. Super friendly staff. Absolutely loved it. Definitely the place I will stay next visit too. Thank you .

Plussat: Great location away from the city centre. Pool, garden and rooftop are lovely. Helpful staff and good breakfast.

Miinukset: Unfortunately on our second stay the bed was very uncomfortable.

Plussat: Breakfast was very good. Obliging staff. Location is good. Reception foyer area excellent. Comfortable chairs to sit around.

Miinukset: Room was a bit dark - not airy and small. Bathroom needs towel rack, better toilet paper, conditioner and soap dish/shower gel or soap. No TV in room. Also need to have bedside tables on either side and maybe a chair to sit.

Plussat: Really beautiful and peaceful, calm and tastefully done interior, comfy beds, well trained staff and great breakfast!

Plussat: Decor&friendly staff

Miinukset: The suite was excellent..but room a bit small for 3pax

Plussat: The look and feel of the place is great. The traditional setting was great and decor pleasing. The location was central. Though the breakfast choices were limited, it was enough. The place was cozy and gave very warm vibes. The staff was very nice and attentive.

Miinukset: Everything was nice.

Plussat: Beautiful and sophisticated room, Nice location.

Plussat: What a spectacular place! It ought to be rated 12/10, with the quaint roof top pool that we didn’t know about at the time of booking. The architecture and the interior design of the property is simply divine. The breakfast is wholesome, and the staff cannot be more helpful and dedicated. Highly recommended!

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Good value for money, budget accommodation near city center and quiet

Miinukset: Old air-con: noisy, not comfortable at night; Budget accommodation hence luxury villa as a name is misleading

Miinukset: Staff at reception with the hotel owner had a thing for money,charged me twice on this booking,i paid at cash and they charged me from credit card again, My girlfriend booked via agoda,cheaper price,$35 and hotel informed us that they received charges from agoda,however 2 hours later when we were outside they send us an email that they cannot honer the booking since its a mistake from agoda and they asked us to contact agoda,lady at reception was being rude and try to misdirect us and kept in the lobby until we decided to go elsewhere and they let us to go pack up,informed and they said it’s hotel mistake that they didn’t update the rate,clearly at this point I don’t blame anyone but i have seen how the hotel management was greedy for few bucks and kick out their customers,i never refused to pay extra,but after receptionist confirmed to us about the well received booking and payment they decided $35 too cheap. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone

Plussat: Service. Attention to detail. Very clean. Quiet. Highly recommend without question. Photos are exactly like our stay.

Miinukset: Loved it all. Maybe more breakfast options especially if staying for more than 2 nights, but im being picky.

Plussat: Caring and helpful host and best Sri Lankan dinner ever. Thanks, Manuhari!

Plussat: Breakfast was good as we came to know more about Sri Lankan cuisine, Location was very good as the hotel is in very quiet place and no disturbance around at all. Also the owner was very cheerful person and helped us in many ways

Miinukset: Costly room rates and other all amenities should be included in the package. Additional costs are to be paid for A/c usage.The lighting in the room could be more brighter will make the stay perfect.

Plussat: Lodging, amenities and atmosphere - very good. Peaceful, relaxing and quiet hideaway place. Best place to enjoy alone time. Very good service and very much flexible with guest requirements.

Plussat: It is full of home coming memory. The owner is so kind and make a good breakfast after discussed with us. We brought some local fruit such as wood apple, she showed us the way to eat it and actually made a traditional desert from our fruits. She also kindly enough to help us get tuktuk and car for our trip to the different parts of city.

Miinukset: The lighting in the room could be more brighter will make the stay perfect.

Plussat: Very friendly and accommodative staff.

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: The staffa are so friendly and very helpful and thank you all

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Nice rooms. Good and easy parking!

Plussat: It was quiet and one could really rest and get a good sleep. Very comfy bed!

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Given the price point this is one of the best in Colombo. Rooms were clean and tidy. Breakfast spread was good.

Miinukset: WiFi was not up to the mark. Each time I had to log in to acces WiFi.

Plussat: Seems like majority of the staff were young students or doing their practical stint so they were very friendly, always smiling and eager to help. Breakfast spread was great and hotel had a small rooftop bar on the 8th floor.

Miinukset: Not an ideal location as it seems to be in a business district with no restaurants or shops nearby. No toiletries in room but after asking was delivered to us. Water pressure was low and not hot.

Plussat: Staffs are extremely nice, food portion is big, I could not even finish my Chicken Biryani at their on site restaurant. VU rooftop bar is also nice.

Miinukset: Gym with limited equipment. Bathroom is a bit small

Plussat: It is a nice clean hotel with clean and well apportioned rooms and bathrooms.

Miinukset: Too far from the city center which requires about 30 to 45 minutes drive. That makes it difficult for tourists and even business community. It also does not have a bar - the present bar is non-alcoholic. The restaurant facilities are basic with limited menu and the morning buffet breakfast is fairly simple. In the absence of any market near by there not many dining options.

Plussat: This was my second stay within Best Western chain. Bestwestern Colombo was far better than BestWestern Oslo. Spacious rooms, excellent job by the housekeeping team.

Miinukset: We wanted to use the minibar, unfortunately it was empty.

Plussat: A lovely place once we found it! Lots of space and character.

Miinukset: Location - it must have taken us 2 hours to find it (from the airport) - absolutely no clues as to location, our poor taxi driver had to keep asking people directions. It was in a location with nothing around. We eventually arrived at about 11 pm and our driver kindly phoned the host who sent a boy over with the keys and some much-appreciated water. The host arranged a taxi to the station over the phone which was really helpful. Signs needed urgently!!

Plussat: Nothing really

Miinukset: Stinking room with linens in poor conditions. Bedroom door doesn't lock, exposing to insecurity

Plussat: Loved the whole house features,it looks like a museum,also very quiet and had good sleep.only downfall is the location,but the host had no problems in calling a taxi anytime I needed one.

Plussat: Nothing attractive

Miinukset: It’s a real deserted villa, not proper

Plussat: Most caring and courteous owner and staff,proactive and attentive to our every need. Were superb with our dog Lilly in particular. Made her feel very welcome. Food was freshly cooked by Rani and her brother to our requests (vegetarian), and was delicious.

Miinukset: Perhaps the bed linen, towels and pillows could do with an update

Plussat: Heina Villa is a good place to unwind and relax away from the hustle and bustle. A short downhill walk takes you to the riverside rowing path. The villa needs some minor maintenance work but is perfectly comfortable and clean. The gardens are extremely well kept with a peaceful ambience. It was sad to see the dog chained up but as we had our dog with us it was probably a good thing as it did seem a bit aggressive. Kutty is a lovely host who was eager to please and he made us a fantastic breakfast!!!

Plussat: The price was low

Miinukset: No privacy, villa was too old

Plussat: Nothing...

Miinukset: Totally false presentation of these heina nature villa on booking. Com

Plussat: The property is excellent, even if a bit faded.

Miinukset: Location is very difficult to find. Breakfast was ok, not over exciting, 2 fried eggs, bread and jam with coffee
