Luxe CL

TiffanyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This is probably one of the most beautiful and highest quality apartments in all of Colombo. We have been coming to Sri Lanka since 2015 and have stayed in many places. Nicola's attention to detail and quality is unmistakable. If you have discerning taste and want a place that is artful, clean and full with high end decor and appliances this is the place. It costs more than many apartments but it's well worth it. The location is great! Within walking distance to excellent restaurants at Cinnamon Life Hotel, a grocery and a fabulous mall. It's also an easy walk to a nice beach.

Deep Blue Colombo Seaside Luxury Apartment

BetsyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
For the dehiwala apartment review : The apartment was clean and well presented. We enjoyed watching the sunset each evening from the balconies which all have an ocean view. The location was great, the bedrooms and aircon comfortable and the bathrooms were clean & fresh. The hosts were responsive and flexible giving us a late check-out as there was no booking after us. The assistant organised for check-in and check-in was easy to liaise with.

3BR Luxury Apartment in Altair 35th Floor

MartinaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The apartment was really great! The location and view of Colombo were great and check-in was easy. The pool is a real highlight. The flexible check-in was a great advantage for us, as we arrived a little earlier and were able to go directly to the apartment. A big thank you to Umendra and her team. We would come back!

We had a fantastic stay at Tash’s place. The apartment is beautiful, spacious and has very comfy beds. The view from the balcony is even more impressive in person. We enjoyed sunbathing and using the pool on floor 6. Tash relplied to our messages quickly, was very helpful and left clear and precise check in instruction. She also very kindly allowed us to have a late check out. Thanks so much Tash!😊🙏

AbbasRating, 5 stars68 months ago
I came across this place after some extensive searching and needless to say that it paid off. The host is not just a host, shes a super duper host. She helped me right from booking to to letting me in and accommodating several requests made from us. She’s brilliant. The house is as the pics show, sparkling clean, contemporary, fully loaded with the daily basics that you need, and the location is just brilliant. You truly feel like a local stayin in this place. I would recommend anyone looking at booking this place to go ahead blindly. It will not disappoint even by an iota. Sueprhost!!!

I had an amazing five-night stay at Canal View Cottage. The place exceeded my expectations—it’s even more valuable than the listing price! The host, Shira, was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The cottage offered a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding.

LakeView

KettyRating, 5 stars78 months ago
Lake view is an amazing structure with perfect surroundings. It is very central and though very private. We have spent a couple of great days in the structure and had the feeling of being in our private villa with a lot of freedom, space, design and commodities. We will book Lake view for sure again. Thanks a lot to the owner, Prasanna, for the great hospitality.
A secure entrance to the property is framed by a tall, black gate, surrounded by lush greenery and neat landscaping. The house features a red-roofed structure, partially obscured by vibrant trees, contributing to a serene atmosphere.

Iconic Home Stays 28th Floor, Iconic Galaxy.

PrabodhRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Our stay was just perfect and as we wanted it to be. Niresh, the host was extremely helpful in getting whatever we needed (including a few utensils for kitchen ;)). The host was there to welcome us and showed us the house. Being on 28th floor, the view was superb the skyline of Colombo city was visible and so was the water front. The location was perfect with many restaurants and supermarkets near by at walking distance. The amenities were just as shown in the pics and we enjoyed most of it. A perfect place to stay if you want to be in the heart of the city and still want to be a peaceful place 😊
