After a few minor misunderstandings at the beginning, we were warmly welcomed into this little corner of paradise just outside Colombo. Thanks to Chandrika, a truly wonderful host, we immediately felt at home. We are a family of four, and each of us had a perfectly furnished private bedroom — a real comfort during our stay. The apartment is beautifully maintained with great attention to detail. The residence itself is safe, with guards at the entrance, and offers excellent facilities: a beautiful swimming pool and a tennis court, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Although slightly outside the city center, tuk-tuks made it easy and convenient to reach everything we needed. Breakfast, prepared daily by Chandrika, was always delicious, generous, and varied — a real highlight of our stay. In short, this place is not only worth trying once, but definitely worth coming back to. Highly recommended!

Eresha and her family's hospitality was a true blessing. Their home, meticulously clean and wonderfully cozy, offered us a haven amidst the beauty of nature. With every detail attended to, from the tidy rooms to the serene surroundings, our stay was a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Eresha went above and beyond to assist us with transit, sorting out SIM cards, and providing guidance on local attractions. And let's not forget about the food – it was absolutely incredible, a delicious reflection of her generosity and hospitality.

Urban bliss studio is a perfect little hotel in Colombo. Suzette and Ravij are a lovely couple of entrepreneurs who know how to welcome travelers. You will feel at home. The rooms (only 2 available which makes the stay even more special as it cannot be crowded) are just lovely with space and AC. We had a beautiful balcony and a little kitchenette if we needed to keep things fresh or boil water. Breakfast was like the rest: very very good and adapted to your preferences / needs. Garden is beautiful as well. Suzette took the time to discuss with us and gave us some good advices for our trip. She also gave us the contact of a great driver / guide who we will be seeing again during our trip as he was so knowledgeable and incredibly nice. I definitely recommend this place ! We will go visit their other little hotel they have in Galle.
