We booked the home with cautious because there were no prior reviews. But , it was a wonderful luxury brand new apartment. My family with two kids enjoyed the stay very much. There are two comfortable bedrooms . One bedroom and living area air conditioned. Big plus is air conditions are new and cooling well. Modern kitchen available with all necessary kitchenette. Smart TV, sofas and sceneries on wall made our stay more enjoyable and relax. Bathroom is well occupied. It was a very clean holiday home and we felt like home. Private parking is available and very is to reach the property. Although we stayed only one day, there are all facilities available for a longer stay also. The host is very friendly and always in touch and helpful. We highly recommend the Cinnamon Holiday Home for guests for both shorter and longer stay and hope to visit again !

We had a wonderful stay at Ama Homestay! The hosts are truly lovely people - very kind, welcoming and always ready to help with anything we needed. We had an entire floor with two bedrooms with AC, bathroom, a complete kitchen and a living room, which made out stay very comfortable and homely. Everithing was clean, spacious and well maintained. The atmosphere is warm and safe and we felt completely at home, as part of the family. If we return to Colombo, we definitely come back here. Highly recomended for anyone looking for a friendly and cozy place to stay. .

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.

This place is great, perfect location for everything you would want to see in Colombo and if you have Uber can get to places very easily and for very little money(a lot cheaper than flagging down random tuk tuks) Hotel rooms are modern and very clean. The rooftop pool/jacuzzis are a vibe, great for relaxing and all staff super friendly and accommodating.
