Super friendly staff and the most adorable dog! The room was exactly like the photos, very neat, clean and had a lot of storage space. All the facilities were in place and in perfect condition. The location is also quite nice with grocery shops, restaurants and bakeries nearby. We stayed here for 10 days and everything was perfect)

Looking for history without kitsch I discovered this discrete Guesthouse . Away from the crowds of Colombo, the spacious room and antique charm gave me a fantastic rest after exploring Sri Lanka’s capital. With all the qualities of a classic hotel I could enjoy style and comfort while maintaining the privacy of home.

Shalom Villa is a home away from home. Nilu and Iresh make you feel welcome right away and help you with all your travel needs. The guesthouse is away from the noisy and bustling center, but within easy reach using the PickMe App for inexpensive and fast transportation. Coffee and tea are always available and shops are in close vicinity. I also liked the stroll down to the river. With so much nature around one might forget to be still in Colombo. I am looking forward to coming back here and enjoy the hospitality. 🙂

Convenient to the center of Maharagama. Tuktuks and buses are also easy to use. The air conditioner is working so it's comfortable even on hot nights. The owner and staff are very friendly. On the first day, we were able to pick you up at the airport. Paid. Very reassuring.

During our recent visit to Colombo, we had the pleasure of staying at Four Petals Hotel, where we experienced exceptional hospitality and comfort. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for by Kishan and his wife, who went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. The hotel's charming ambiance and attention to detail made us feel right at home. Every interaction with the staff reflected their dedication to guest satisfaction. We highly recommend Four Petals Hotel for anyone looking for a delightful stay in Colombo.

We had an amazing stay here. The hosts, Sam and Steph, are the most kind, welcoming people you could meet. The staff are very helpful, nothing was a problem for them. The Sri Lankan omelette for breakfast was the best I'd had in the three weeks of travelling the country. Mount Bay Guest House rooms have all that you would expect at more expensive hotels. All the boxes are ticked. A very comfortable stay.

Breakfast was fabulous. Room was spotlessly clean and the wi-fi worked perfectly. It's quite far from the city centre, but you get there quickly and cheap with a tuc tuc.
