Set within 6 km of Bambalapitiya Railway Station and 9 km of R Premadasa Stadium, Leisure home provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Colombo. The property has garden and city views, and is 10 km from Khan Clock Tower. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service.

First of all, that's not a soulless hotel for privacy, that's a cozy house that's being serviced by a very heartful landlady. A place where you can dive into an atmosphere of family with deep conversations during the meal or tea. About the house: there's a safe place to park a bike. A terrace and a rooftop (!) to enjoy the sunsets or city views or to sit alone and read a book. By the way, there's a decent library of English books in the house! About the room: it was the biggest bed I've ever seen. Not a king-size, a sheikh-size 😅 AC and everything was great. Breakfast was included, and you may ask for a dinner as well, and for the reasonable price landlady will cook it for you. National cuisine, very tasty! Special thanks and hi to Shihath, we had a great time together :)

This bed and breakfast features free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

Our hosts were incredibly welcoming, making our stay in Colombo memorable. Not to mention their cute pooch, Pebbles, who added to the homely vibe. The room exceeded our expectations with what might be the comfiest bed we've ever slept in, ensuring restful nights. Our single morning was greeted with a delicious breakfast, a perfect start to our day. If our travels weren't taking us elsewhere, we'd have extended our stay without a second thought. A place we'd eagerly recommend for those seeking comfort and warmth in Colombo.

We couldn’t have picked a better place to start our Sri Lanka trip! The home is beautiful, the rooms are modern, comfortable, and clean! The best part of our stay was definitely meeting Glenn, Fiona and Sita! Glenn was soooo helpful in giving us recommendations for our trip as we didn’t have anything planned out. Glenn and Fiona went above and beyond in helping us even after we left their place. They are genuinely so caring and kind-hearted :) Glenn even gave us a ride to the train station early in the morning as we couldn’t get a tuk tuk in time. The breakfast was also delicious!

    We had a one night stay and Satheesh was an incredible and an extremely helpful host. The whole ambience along with the antique style architecture added up to the experience! We booked a pool and garden view room and I must say the morning was absolutely beautiful despite the villa being located in the middle of the Colombo city. The villa has a homely vibe to it and lucky for us, my partner and I were the only guests! Will definitely come for another wonderful stay at this hidden gem.

    This place was built for honourable reasons, once intended to support the local community. It's well explained in a brochure in the villa. I think this is no more the case, maybe the villa was sold to other people?
