入り口は少しわかりづらいですが、清潔で静かでとても過ごしやすいホテルでした。 またホテルの真横にはスーパーがあるので買い出しには困りません。 朝食は基本8時頃からのようで、それより早い時間に行くと「少し待ってくれ」と言われました。 早朝のチェックアウトにも親切に対応していただいたので感謝です。

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.

Den23 worth a visit.
Den 23 is a very nice, clean hotel with excellent, smiling service staff, nice roof top sitting area/restaurant with a good view of Colombo. Hotel manager (Felix) was waiting for me and greeted me on arrival. He also offered help with whatever I might need, without being too pushy, though. Downtown Colombo is within easy reach with tuk-tuk for a small fee. Very decent Cargill supermarket is right next door. Overall nice place, highly recomended. Jan, Toronto. Canada.

Brilliant hotel
We arrived at this hotel exhausted and that changed instantly the moment we opened the door and got a warm welcome from Felix the host. Felix has the energy that we all wish we had. The information he gives you while checking in is invaluable and he is more than happy to answer questions. We took him up on a SIM card which was far cheaper than using data when needed. He also gives you a card with top places to visit on it, really handy The rooms and the hotel are spotless, and if you need anything all you have to do is ask. There is a kitchen and a chef, but you are allowed to make your own stuff from the supermarket next door and then eat on the roof top which offers amazing views. I cannot recommend this place enough, you will leave feeling relaxed and energised for exploring.

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!

Super Unterkunft
Super freundliches Personal, das auch gerne aushilft und Tipps gibt. Sauberes Zimmer mit guter Klimaanlage und kleinem Balkon. Wegen Bauarbeiten war es morgens etwas laut, aber es war okay. Für 150 Rupien bekommt man ein großzügiges, frisches traditionelles Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse.
