Colombo Villa at Cambridge Place

We had posted a second review for Colombo Villa so we are not sure why it is no longer on Booking.com.. This is our home away from home in Colombo. Our second stay here was as wonderful as our first and we will definitely return on our next trip to Colombo. Our room was very spacious and super clean with an enormous, very comfortable bed and excellent air conditioning. With a well appointed bathroom and tea/coffee making facilities, and very efficient internet, there is everything you need for your stay. Should you require anything else, the wonderful staff will help you out. They cannot do enough for you, and are always available to assist you with suggestions about their town, arrange transport, or suggest restaurants, as well as smaller things such as ensuring you have enough towels for the pool. Breakfast is generous and delicious, and they went out of their way to provide plant-based options for dietary requirements. We highly recommend a stay at Colombo Villa on your visit to Sri Lanka.

Our stay at Colombo VIlla was the perfect start to our time here in Sri Lanka. Despite our very late arrival from an international flight, we were warmly greeted at the front door and we slept so well in the super comfortable bed. The staff are very considerate and can't do enough to make sure you have everything you need for your stay. Breakfast is delicious and extensive, and they kindly catered for my plant based dietary needs. At the end of each hot day, the very clean pool was a treat to return to and refresh before dinner at a locally recommended restaurant. There is plenty of hot water and good shower pressure, very effective wi-fi connection in our room and they provided fantastic suggestions for getting to know the city. Most areas are walkable, if you don't mind the heat, or short tuktuk rides away. We are staying again on our departure from Sri lanka, and are very much looking forward to returning to Colombo Villa.

The villa is located in a perfect spot, close to several restaurants (fine dining and casual dining). The room was much bigger than we expected and the kids enjoyed the ample space available in the room. What made the villa special was the amenities available for kids (swimming pool, fussball, board games etc.) Its a very cute space overall at such a reasonable price. If we were to visit Colombo again, this place would definitely be my first pick. The staff was very warm and accommodating..Impressed with Sri Lankan hospitality!

Nothing..Everything was just tailored to match our expectations!

From the minute we arrived the staff were attentive and interested in making our stay as comfortable as possible, especially I think as we were in our 70's, nothing was too much trouble, very professional. Breakfast was excellent. The Manager went out of his way to show us to a nearby very good restaurant, The Embassy. I can't remember the last time I stayed in a Colombo hotel which provided facecloths, along with a bath tub, it was a real treat! The pool was extremely clean. The neighbourhood very quiet making it a peaceful two night holiday. We will be back next time we have to go to Colombo for sure.

Nothing, everything perfect.

We had a large, quiet room with a very comfortable bed. Air-conditioning, fan, shower etc all worked well. We were greeted warmly on arrival and the manager could not have been more helpful throughout our rwo day stay. We were recommended a good reasonably priced restaurant a short walk away where we ate both evenings. Breakfast was plentiful with a large plate of fruit and choice of eggs. A refreshing dip in the pool was most welcome on returning in the afternoon. 10 minute taxi or tuk tuk from Fort Station

We loved Colombo Villa. Perfect for arrival (or departure). Derick stayed up late to welcome us. Our room was big for 5 people and very clean etc. We loved the carefully presented fruit etc for breakfast and the pool was excellent (clean ++). Can't say enough good things. Derick also helped with onward travel (lovely driver) and we found it very convenient and safe for moving around on foot, car and tuk tuk. A really perfect start to our holiday.

Incredibly welcoming and hospitable staff who were very helpful with early check-in and looking after luggage. The location is great with lots to see nearby in a very leafy neighborhood. The bunk beds and AC in our room were perfect for our kids. They loved the pool! Overall a very welcome oasis from the hustle of the city for our first night in Sri Lanka.

No downside at all

Location is perfect , nearby many places to visit , in our case only one minute walking from Lional Wendt Art concert hall. Therefore they have bicycles available to reach most places you want to visit within minutes without need to negotiate endless with 3wheelers or taxi's in the extremely busy traffic. Appreciated parking place in their garage.

Huge bed, Kingsize plus in Teak room. Breakfast, after the fruitplatter, which would have been already sufficient, came the omelet, sausages, honey coconut pancakes, vegetable snack, toast with marmalade. Location : walking distance 2 minutes from Lional Wendt theatre, and only 6 minutes from several trendy restaurants.

Denis was an exceptional host ! It was like our dad for the whole trip. He and his team are the nicest people you could find, really friendly and helped us with all our requests. Hope to see him again in a next trip. The swimming pool area is even better than in the pictures, it is surrounded by lush gardens and covered so you can even swim when raining outside . The beds are so comfortable, the rooms are so clean and our room had a massive patio door where you could see mango trees and chipmunks. The area is also the nicest, as this is a lush chic hood where you can find cafes, and restaurant neerby and have a stroll in a peace environment far away from the hustle of the city. We had breakfast there, it was also very yummy and very big, so good value for money. Best accomodation to start our trip, we vividly recommend it :)
