Amazing hotel! A piece of the jungle in the city center! Monkeys, squirrels, parrots and many more) Everything is so beautiful and authentic. Very welcoming and friendly staff❤️‍🔥 They met and served a welcome drink. We took a room with a jacuzzi, a fabulous room. The room includes slippers, bathrobes, hairdryer, beach towels in a basket and an umbrella. Great pool. Breakfast and dinner were requested in the room. Amazingly delicious breakfast, the hotel cooks delicious food. I’m just in love with this hotel 💔 I will definitely stay there again. Thank you very much to the entire team of this hotel!

At IGN Residence Colombo, my travelled needs were exceeded beyond expectation. It is a beautiful colonial-style building. Usually the most important quality for me as a single, woman traveler, is the safety of the accommodation and the immediate vicinity. Secondly I look for exceptional service. Relaxation means not having to do what is expected of me at home. Handcrafted furnishings and choice appointments complemented the discrete aura of these private lodgings. Seeing brand new furniture and towels was a pleasant surprise. In the kitchen, there was also fresh Italian coffee. Located on the central avenue of the city, the house is close to a shopping center, pharmacies, restaurants, and art galleries. It is possible to walk to all necessary places. I found walking along the avenue to be very convenient.

I love this accommodation. Room is not so much big, but it's so comfortable for staying night time. Hot water, air conditioner, bed sheets and steps are all amazing! Especially I like the way to approach to this place, it's so lovely. The atmosphere is like a small forest or secret garden. So if you want to stay at sweet place with small budget, you must be here!! 😍👍

Amazing! I am sorry we just stayed one night (before our flight) but this BB is simply amazing. Its owned by this cute family, always smiling, always helpful. We were a large group and all were overly content. It was clean, quiet and very modern. Breakfast were simply amazing! They make all your breakfast dreams come true (we were a group with a baby and also eldery couple). So would recommend 110%!
