Its a very lovely place to have small functions and photoshoots. Place is well decorated with different types of antiques and modern arts. Food they serve is delicious and tastes homemade. The owner is really concerned about providing a good service to all visitors and you'll meet a friendly bunch of staff there. Hope go there again
2 Tintagel Colombo



images
This is a lovely place with a calm and soothing atmosphere. We recently hosted our family for the High Tea Buffet at Tintagel. It was slightly overpriced. But the food was quite tasty with good portion sizes. The presentation was great and the staff service was amazing. We were also lucky to be graced by the owner himself who gave us a quick history lesson and informed us of the correct pronunciation of Tintagel. All in all, a good evening out.
3 Lavonca Boutique Hotel



images
Very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed in the superior king room with a lot of space, nice view, to a quiet yard which gave us good rest after a long journey.
Very good breakfast in the yard.
Small pool on three layered roof top terrace.
Great one!

6 Ellen's Place

Beautiful property. The food was excellent and so was the service. Tastefully decorated, airy and bright. Seven rooms are available including rooms upstairs. As you go to the second floor it opens up to a beautiful, shady large balcony/terrace. Got the chance to see a room. It's simple yet elegantly designed. The bathroom, is clean, well maintained with toilet, sink, shower, bath tub. Yet again designed elegantly with class. The property as whole is very well kept. One more thing it also has a well maintained pool surrounded by trees.

Holey smokes this place is beautiful! The home is even more beautiful in person, I wish I had known that this was a luxury upscale type of place. Breakfast was simple and filling, so I loved it. When I come back to Sri Lanka Ill book a long weekend to enjoy the indoor pool and surrounding area better.

19 Colombo Court Hotel & Spa



images
We managed to grab a great deal for a Day Package advertised on their Facebook package.
From inquiry all the way until check-out, everything was simply perfect. Quick responses from the social media team. Easy confirmation. Seamless check-in. All the staff from reception to housekeeping and even IT (when we had an issue with the TV) were so polite, friendly and helpful.
Despite having low occupancy, the standards were high and service/facilities were immaculate. The room was immaculate and clean, as was the pool(s). The room has a comfortable bed, spacious washroom (the one we got had no bathtub but that was perfectly fine), all the amenities and tea/coffee making facilities.
Food was served to the room (we could choose what meal we wanted from various options) - the portion was good and taste was even better. They definitely hadn't cut any corners for us, despite us going at a considerably low rate.
Great experience! Hoping to return again once more!
I do my best to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. I last updated it in February 2025. If you know of a hipster hotel that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
