Every space - from the kitchen, to the bathrooms, to the bedrooms - is brand new and the design/furniture is so minimalist, which I have found eye-pleasing. Common areas well furnished and bathrooms always impeccable. Extremely comfortable bed. The location is close to supermarkets and nice cafes, and the area is very quiet. The staff is also wonderful. When they knew that at the airport my suitcase had been misplaced, they immediately tried to help me as much as possible. Caring people who take great care of their hostel and their guests! :) No better place to stay in Colombo!

Clean, modern and extremely spacious rooms. We arrived at 1 AM and the staff were so incredibly helpful and friendly. The property is so quiet despite being next to a road. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back! Many thanks to Bagya and Madhu for their hospitality.

My stay at the Sheraton Colombo was nothing short of spectacular. I was greeted with warm hospitality and a level of professionalism that truly sets this hotel apart. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, making me feel both welcomed and valued throughout my visit. The rooms are spacious, elegantly designed, and impeccably clean, offering breathtaking views of the city and ocean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities provided were top-notch, ensuring a luxurious and restful stay. The facilities are outstanding. Everything is maintained to the highest standard, creating an atmosphere of calm and sophistication. Sheraton Colombo is a true gem in the heart of the city. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, I cannot recommend this hotel enough. I look forward to returning for another unforgettable experience!

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.

The apartment was very clean, spacious, well equipped and well maintained. Kitchen utensils, complimentary items (tea/coffee/sugar), pepper, salt and oil were available free of charge for the guests with constant water supply. Very safe environment for solo travellers especially ladies with calm and quiet surrounding. Conveniently located with easy access to supermarkets, hospitals and food outlets etc. Highly recommended and definitely will make another visit in the future. 🙂
