7 miles from the city center, Kelaniya temple offers a beautiful temple, a huge stupa and this magnificent bodhi tree.

Admission is by donation and you should leave your shoes with one of the vendors before entering the complex. Tip: walking out the back of the complex allows you to get a photo of both the temple and stupa together.

"Great host!!"

"They were very friendly and hospitable. Room was clean and bright. "

"Best hotel and service I’ve ever received. The Ishq, and Asanga, as the staff servicing my trip, were incredible. I cancelled other hotels to come back to stay at the Ishq due to its service and staff. Nicest hotel in Colombo and the best staff! "

"Our recent stay at this peaceful oasis in Colombo was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness by the incredible staff - especially Samantha, who went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. The serene ambiance, coupled with a beautifully maintained pool, made for the perfect escape from the city's hustle. Whether it was lounging by the water or indulging in the delicious food, every moment felt like a refreshing retreat....

"Wunderschönes Haus abseits vom Tourismus-Trubel. Trotzdem sind alle Lebensnotwendigen Dinge problemlos zu Fuß oder gegeben falls in wenigen Minuten mit den supergünstigen Tucktuck´s zu erreichen. Der Gastgeber ist freundlich, zuvorkommend und sehr bemüht einem wirklich jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen. Wir bedanken uns nochmal ganz herzlich für den Perfekten Urlaub. "

"Worst experience... The best part is after booking the hotel and after reaching his premises there is nobody to open the doors. And I came back."

"We rented this property thinking that we were renting the whole house as advertised. It turns out that that this house is a hostel as per the sign out front and we were given one room. After some discussion with the owner we were given three rooms. The owner had not been paid by VRBO and I had paid VRBO one month ahead of time. I had to leave one day early as our filghts were cancelled due to the virus situation so did not use the last day. one of the chairs I was sitting on broke and I almost...

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent. They nailed it!"

Granbell Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at Granbell Hotel Colombo. It closed out our two week stay in Sri Lanka, and was one of our highlights. The hotel itself is modern, comfortable and well located. The rooms are incredibly well suited for couples - perfectly sized and with an amazing view (if you are debating, upgrade to a sea view)! My only complaint is that the menu prices exclude VAT, and you are unaware of this until you receive your first bill! It means that the hotel is unfortunately very unreasonable for food and drink for Sri Lanka - but there are plenty of eating options in Colombo."

Mount Lavinia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Mount Lavinia Hotel offers an unforgettable stay with its stunning beachfront location, colonial charm, and above all, exceptionally friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. A special thank you to Dewmini, Lukshan, and Akini — your warmth and hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable. Every interaction felt genuine, and their service went far beyond expectations. The hotel’s seaside location is perfect for relaxing, with beautiful views of the Indian Ocean and easy access to the beach. The atmosphere is peaceful yet full of character, with elegant colonial architecture and a rich sense of history. Mount Lavinia Hotel delivers comfort, charm, and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back! "
