*Casa Winnie- A Home Away from Home – A Truly Heartwarming Experience* From the moment we arrived at Casa Winnie , we were embraced with warmth and kindness. In one of the most difficult times for our family, Mrs. Priyani and family went beyond being just a host, she became a source of comfort, support, and genuine care. Her generosity and compassion made us feel at home, as if we were part of her own family. Every little detail, from her thoughtful gestures to the welcoming atmosphere, reflected her incredible heart. It is rare to find a place where hospitality is not just a service but a heartfelt experience. We will always be grateful for the love and care we received here, and we wholeheartedly recommend Casa Winnie to anyone looking for more than just a place to stay. This is a place where kindness lives, and we will forever hold it close to our hearts. With deepest gratitude.

Very Nice small hotel in a quiet location in a residency area. Use to be a big residential house, but a few years ago made in to hotel. Good room, everything worked perfect. The staff was very helpful and kind, both after the booking and doing the stay. Thank you😊

Tamarind Villa is a seamless blend of modern luxury and timeless charm. The villa’s tasteful antique furniture exudes grandeur, beautifully complemented by contemporary amenities like air conditioning, a jacuzzi, a mini gym, and a fully equipped kitchen with the latest appliances. The spacious verandah is a highlight, offering a serene view of the lush, green lawn. It's the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of tea and embrace the slower pace of life. Despite its tranquil ambiance, the villa is conveniently located in the heart of Kelaniya, just a short distance from the iconic Kelaniya Temple. The breakfast we ordered was a delight—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The staff stood out for their friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring our stay was comfortable. However there is a minor drawback. Finding the villa can be challenging as there is no board displaying its name. Adding clear directions or a visible sign board would greatly enhance the overall experience. Overall , Tamarind villa is an excellent retreat for anyone seeking a luxurious and peaceful getaway with a touch of history.

This was an amazing stop. We stayed on the 34th floor. View was amazing you can see lotus tower from the balcony. The swimming pool is great. They have an air conditioned room to sit in while the kids swim and a play area by the pool. kFC and Pizza Hut very close 3 supermarkets within walking distance they also have options to eat in them. There are some nice Sri Lankan food places near by as well. We had a two bedroom apartment there were 3 air conditioned units in it one in each bed room all worked well. One shower has good pressure the water was not hot hot but was ok. It is very clean and tidy. The agent is awesome sent details through prior to arrival and was available via what’s app if we had any questions That it does need is pool towels there are not any only white towels at the pool is difficult. They have washing machine so you can wash them and a drying rack on the balcony. What would have been nice would have been instructions on how to use the TV we just didn’t watch it and was not a big deal we could have asked if we wanted to.

We booked this hotel super last minute for our last night in Sri Lanka before leaving the next day. Found it on googlemaps when looking around the area as I had an appointment nearby the next morning. The place is new, all new finishings, smells new, modern, room was really amazing it exceeded our expectations and would definitely go back if back in Colombo. Friendly and helpful staff although we spent less than 24hrs there. Cool rooftop with pool !

Heritage Eco Resort exceeded my expectations for an extended business stay. The spacious room provided ample relaxation space, and the hotel's amenities ensured a comfortable and convenient experience. Reliable Wi-Fi, accommodating staff, and a central location made my stay stress-free. I highly recommend it for both business trips and family vacations. The calm and quiet environment is perfect for unwinding, whether you're visiting Colombo as a foreigner or a local.

Well equipped apartment with all the necessities: a cozy bedroom, kitchenette, additional items such as salt & pepper, detergent soap, washing powder & liquids made the stay quite easier and quite comfortable. I really enjoyed all the facilities and extended my stay by another week due to the convenience of the location. This is my second stay at the Paramount Residence.
