Escape to this tranquil Wattala villa offering a refreshing outdoor pool and scenic rooftop terrace. Just 15 minutes from Colombo City Centre with easy access to Crow Island Beach. Each villa includes convenient kitchen amenities with free WiFi and parking.

"One of the worst hospitality service ever. Won't get a towel, bedsheet or toiletries. No cleanliness and smelly dusty rooms. No room service. Swimming pool with decayed leaves and house full of mosquitoes. Broken room locks and the bonus is you won't get water in toilet. Needless to say a poor management by owner and totally irresponsible behaviour. Please don't waste your money by looking at beautiful pics of the villa. Save your money for better stay. Even worst hotels will give better...
