I’d highly recommend this place! It’s an unassuming spot but the rooftop has an absolutely spectacular view with an incredible restaurant. I had the best seafood pasta I’ve ever had there; each meal was truly amazing. The staff are so, so kind and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, spacious, and had everything I needed. I only spent a night here but I wish I had stayed longer simply because I enjoyed this hotel so much.

Great for a convenient, not-too-touristy stay upon arriving in Colombo. The hotel is hidden and quiet and the staff is extremely hospitable. Rooftop views for the restaurant are the highlight.

Nice base for our first 2 nights in Sri Lanka. There was a bit of confusion about our booking when we checked in but quickly sorted out. The hotel is very clean and quite modern. A good location close to the cinnamon gardens area, the national museum and viharamedevi park.

Incredible place to stay whilst in Colombo!

Wow wow wow, what an amazing place to stay. We started our journey at the Den for our trip around Sri Lanka and the location, facilities and in particular Felix the hotel manager gave us the warmest most beautiful welcome we have ever received. Thanks again, could not recommend enough!

Staff was super helpful - set up an airport pickup for me last minute, included a delicious and enormous breakfast on the roof terrace, shared a list of places to visit in colombo, and helped me set up a tour outside of Kandy that I was having some difficulty solidifying. They really went out of their way to be helpful. The room was nice, big, bright, clean bathroom with good toiletries. Area was quiet and convenient, close to parks and cafes. Recommend!

Clean, comfy, spacious room! Clean bathroom with great shower pressure and temp. Not much storage space. Nice solid desk and chair; furniture. WiFi kept dropping--almost four times a day. However, I've stayed here before; and, it wasn't and issue before. No food allowed in rooms! Roof top restaurant. Rice-heavy menu with a few international options and separate cafe menu. Covered seating area is available. Hotel felt like home. Some of the best staff I've ever met! Warm and courteous. Well worth the price. Thanks!
