    Got a reasonably large room with A/C. the excellent and stunning location was minutes from Jawatte Jumma Mosque. - the hotel is in a nice quiet area, close to most attractions, the train station, and Independence Square.

    I stayed at Olu for a week on a business trip. The warm hospitality of Devumi and her team made me feel right at home. The rooms were immaculate and the common area was a great space to work from. I loved unwinding on the porch, enjoying the serene garden and sipping on tea. Devumi's local recommendations for restaurants, bars, and attractions were spot-on. The homestay vibe, cozy breakfast, and helpful staff are what sets Olu apart.

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    Mind-blowingly beautiful house in a jaw-droppingly quiet area, yet super close to main attractions. Spacious room with a balcony, lockers, and the comfiest mattress ever. A/C, clean bathroom, and a perfect breakfast. The staff is beyond helpful and kind, making it feel like home. And let's not forget about the adorable dog! Highly recommended for an amazing stay!

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Colombo. the location was great, really close to Independence Square and within walking distance of many restaurants and the city center. The staff were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. The rooms were basic but comfortable, and it was a nice touch to have air conditioning. The breakfast provided each morning was delicious and a great way to start the day. this hotel offered great value for money and I would definitely stay here again.

    All was great, no improvements needed.

    This hotel in a very nice neighborhood offers great value for money. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the rooms are clean and well-maintained. I particularly liked the attention to detail, with basic amenities provided and comfortable beds. The location is also convenient, with the hotel being really close to the Independence Square and the city center. Additionally, the hotel is close to the train station, which was greatly appreciated for my travels.

    All was great!

    The house is absolutely stunning, set in a quiet and lovely area that is also conveniently close to the main attractions in the city. The 6 bed dorm room is spacious with a balcony, lockers, and the most comfortable mattress I've had in my 8 months of traveling. The A/C works perfectly and the bathroom is nice and clean. The breakfast provided was perfect, and they even catered to my vegetarian diet with a delicious Sri Lankan dish. The homely atmosphere created by the kind and helpful staff, Indika and Dev, made me feel right at home. The location is perfect, with a short tuk-tuk ride to the city center and a shopping mall within walking distance. Communication with the owner was prompt and the whole experience had a "like at home" feeling. Indika, the host, made my stay worth every penny by providing great information and even helping me with my train ride. The facilities are clean and new, with an amazing backyard and a cozy reading and social area. The staff even helped me get to the train station, which I greatly appreciated. my stay at this hidden gem exceeded all expectations and was without a doubt the best accommodation I've had.

    The hotel offered great facilities including clean rooms with efficient air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The hotel's location was ideal for New Year's celebrations as it was situated in close vicinity to many popular restaurants and shopping centers. The hotel staff was very helpful and cooperative throughout my stay, making the experience even more enjoyable.

    The hotel lacked some basic amenities such as an on-site mini mart and information about the local area upon arrival. , the use of Wi-Fi was limited to only the lobby area, which was inconvenient.

    Located in a residential area close to the Independence square, this hotel is well placed for easy access to the centre. the room is clean and well maintained with hot water in the ensuite bathroom. the staff is friendly and always on hand to offer useful information and tips. Breakfast is simple but sufficient for a short stay.

    The decor is slightly dated and could do with some modernisation.
