Like staying in a private house
Small but delightful hotel. Lovely staff. Couldn't be more helpful.
The pool is small but very clean and relaxing. The room very comfortable and equipped with a proper fridge. Large bath and good shower very welcome. A short walk fro m the National Museum. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely spot to stay in Colombo
Colombo Villa is a gorgeous sanctuary in a busy town. Our family loved the very large room, and especially loved the pool - but really there wasn't anything we could find fault with. And after we checked out at 11am, with 12 hours to kill before our flight, they were happy for us to set up a little basecamp near the pool and use their showers etc. so we left ready for the arduous trip ahead in the best condition possible. One of other guests visited Colombo five times a year for several weeks at a time, and had chosen Colombo Villa as her "home away from home" - and we can see why.
The general neighbourhood was nice too - a short stroll from the National Museum and park, and a breeze to hail tuk-tuks if needed. And the pool is covered for when the occasional downpour strikes!
5 stars.

Colombo Villa is a lovely property with the most attentive staff in Cinnamon Gardens. The highlight of the stay was the staff. They are very friendly and ready to help (but not intrusive). They prepared a vegetarian Sri Lankan breakfast for me when I asked and arranged a late night cab to the airport. Breakfast was delicious. Finally, there were not kids there when I visited, but it seems extremely kid friendly. I saw a crib, high chair, floaty toys in the pool, etc.

Genuine Hospitality
The hotel staff were more than accommodating and sensitive to my gluten allergy and went out of their way to ensure I had a delicious breakfast. Unfortunately, as we were getting ready to check out, the horrible attacks happened in Colombo. The staff were doing everything in their power to make sure that we were safe and worked to review our itinerary to make sure we would continue to be safe. We are very grateful to them for their kind hospitality.

Delightful retreat - definitely consider staying!
We had a brilliant stay at Colombo Villa - the building is lovely and the staff are super hospitable. We thought it was a real treat to stay there. We highly recommend purchasing the breakfast: both the standard and the Sri Lankan dinner were delicious. The pool was a great way to refreshing after a long day exploring. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. We had the odd large bug and a persistent drain smell in the bathroom, which cleared when the fan was turned on - all part of the Colombo experience! Otherwise very clean. We had some trouble walking to a nearby restaurant - you might have to catch a tuktuk or taxi for something good. Otherwise, we felt safe walking around the local area. We would love to return!

Loved this quaint hotel!
This hotel was excellent! We really enjoyed our stay here, the room was amazing and the pool was very clean and refreshing after a hard day sightseeing around Colombo!
The location was great but our taxi driver had a lot of trouble finding it so my advice would be to keep the hotel phone number handy so they can ring for directions...

Stayed for four nights, very enjoyable.
Can be a little hard to locate down the alleyway but location is a cheap tuk-tuk ride from everywhere you need to go.
Staff very friendly and helpful, room spacious and clean.
Would definitely stay again.

Lovely villa in tree lined area
Really lovely place in leafy suburb that was, as advertised, close to National Museum. Rooms gorgeous, lovely and tasteful wood furniture. Service friendly and helpful. Breakfast excellent, although the coffee not to the same standard as all the rest. Went on a great walking tour of Colombo one day and great road trip to Kandy another day, both arranged by the staff. Great pool. Wifi fine.

Très bien
Très jolie villa, on y a passé une nuit, la piscine est petite mais suffisante, les hôtes sont très gentil.
La literie est parfaite.
Pour manger il y mc do et Kfc pas loin et le déjeuner est très varié et délicieux
Je recommande
Dyrt, men mycket bra hotell. Lite svårt att hitta till, men ligger för övrigt bra till när man väl är på plats.
Pool är bra att ha, men den var lite kall - det är väl det enda som finns att anmärka på :)
