Zylan Luxury Villa

The place is an old villa beautifully maintained and decorated. It is a small boutique hotel and a quite heaven in the hustle and bustle of Colombo. The coffee there is excellent and our favorite so far in Sri Lanka. The Japanese restaurant is very nice, beautiful terrasse, good food and good value for money.

The room could have done with a little more decoration / personality (to match better the rest of the premises, beautifully decorated) but was nonetheless very decent. The staff is trying to be smiley and nice but needs some improvement service wise (no information about services upon arrival, no initiative and not much service per se). The manager though (Chinese) was excellent. The pool area is very nice but again service there was absent : cushions not put in place, jet in the pools not on and no offer to put them on either, a unique and broken parasol but nice attempt to fix it thought). Breakfast was good but would be great to have complementary fruits platter and juice, as well as home made style marmelade instead of tiny motel boxes (again breakfasts was nonetheless good).
