Colombo 05: pousadas

Renuka is such a gracious host. We stayed in a family room on our first night when we landed in Colombo. She gave us a great recommendation for a dinner spot. Our room initially had only 3 sleeping spots (we were 2 adults and 2 small kids) but she gave us a second room when we requested an extra bed. She also made us a lovely breakfast the next day with some delicious butterfly pea tea she had made. She even gave me some seeds to sow at home. A great first stay to kick off our Sri Lankan adventures!

A very welcome stay! Staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Recommend!

Merci à Ishany pour l'accueil et l'accompagnement au top pendant la durée de mon séjour. La cuisine est excellente et le cadre est très paisible. Parfait pour se reposer et apprécier la nature. Point bonus pour la décoration qui est très belle. Enfin c'est propre et bien équipé, merci! :)

This bnb is one of the best places we've ever stayed. The personnel were extremely courteous and helped us not only for our stay with them, but also with the rest of our stay in Sri Lanka. We are already looking at staying with them in future vacations. The rooms were clean and well appointed. Air conditioning and fans both available. The grounds are beautiful and well kept and we used the pool. It was nice too. We will recommend this place to all friends looking to travel here.

Je suis restée plus de 2 semaines au JMF. Priya, le propriétaire , Basil et Alex ont été aux petits soins avec moi surtout en cette période troublée. L'accueil est parfait, je me suis sentie comme à la maison et j'ai rapidement sympathisé avec Priya qui a été de très bon conseil. L'établissement est calme, agréable avec un joli jardin, il est très bien situé, juste à coté d'une clinique ce qui m' été très utile. Des marchands de fruits et de légumes de l'autre côté de la rue pour faire quelques courses , la gare très proche tout comme les plages et restaurants. Une chambre très grande et très propre avec un balcon et une bouilloire. L'accès à un frigo et un micro onde est très pratique, et pour palier aux coupures de courant, le JMF apart hotel est équipé d'un groupe électrogène. Le roof top est génial pour prendre le frais et pratiquer le yoga au petit matin . Rapport qualité prix excellent, je recommande vivement ce petit établissement qui propose aussi des appartements

Had one of the best experiences at Sunrise palace, we missed our flight and needed a quick booking for a place to stay, I bumped into Sunrise Palace and instantly was booked in. I got to the air bnb it's in the inside street but once the gate opens it looks beautiful, the place is big, sleeps alot of people, extremely clean, balcony in the rooms, extremely clean washrooms, impeccable stay I had the service was phenomenal, the food was fresh and tasty, we all had the omelet and wow it tasted so healthy and gave us fruits and fresh juice, as well as water bottles. This place is just amazing and I will be back in March thank you so much !

Hans ist die Art von Gastgeber, die man sich wünscht! Er war jederzeit für uns erreichbar und hat uns über alles informiert was wir wissen wollten. Über ihn konnten wir alles buchen bzw über ihn waren die Tuk Tuks echt ein spürchen schneller da hahaha. Die Unterkunft war makellos & wir würden auf alle Fälle wiederkommen! Das Personal war immer fröhlich und freundlich & ebenfalls immer bereit für gute Tipps!

What a nice place located in a really good neighbourhood with cafees and shopping. Nice room, good bed and really friendly staff.

Do not hesitate to book a stay here ✨ I am not sure what part of the experience was my favourite! It was my second stay at Black Cat and as before it was the perfect welcome to Sri Lanka. The team are friendly and helpful, the room and bed extremely comfortable, the atmosphere relaxed, the space beautifully curated, and the coffee delicious! We arrived on the night of a jazz evening and they even managed to squeeze a table in for us at the sold out event. They shared local recommendations (highly recommend the Sri Lanka Rustic Food Experiences cooking class with Nim) and the location was convenient whether you’re walking or getting a taxi/tuk tuk. The downstairs restaurant is ideal for meeting friends, catching up on work or just reading in the aircon or outside on the terrace. Cannot wait to visit again!

The hostess is very friendly, she made us feel very welcome and the room was amazing 😁

Delightful hosts, lovely room at a great location and great breakfast. What more can you wish for! Being sustainable, being green, is more that just words here. Two of the local dogs are allowed to stay at the parking and when one littered, the lovely staff found homes for all pups! For me this is truly embracing and taking care of the environment in which you conduct business. It is possible to walk to the park and there a lots of nice restaurants near by.

Padminee was a really very kind host. They welcomed us and prepared super breakfasts and gave us helpful information about places to visit. The room was nice and the fan allowed us not to feel the heat. They were really nice and helpful!

This place was a real find in the heart of a fishing community. The accommodation was comfortable and used by backpackers. The joy of staying was its authenticity - sitting in the courtyard, relaxing on the beach in hammocks and eating fresh food in their fish restaurant. It was extremely pretty and carefully considered. Breakfast pancakes were pretty good too!!

Great room, with air conditioning and hot water. Large and comfortable bathroom. The room overlooks the garden, where the birds fly and the sounds of the jungle can be heard. The house is very clean. The host is an amazingly kind and sociable person who also loves to travel. Constantly treated me to all sorts of goodies. The house is located in a quiet location in a residential area, while within walking distance you can find parks, cafes, restaurants, shops and laundry’s. Also a 15-minute taxi ride is the bus station and the railway station, from which you can go anywhere in Sri Lanka. The center of Colombo is about 20-30 minutes by scooter.
