My stay at Kelaniya Heritage was very comfortable and homely. The place was exactly the same as pics shared in booking.com. Priyadarshini the owner of the property is been very friendly from the time I booked the accommodation.She made my stay very comfortable. Also her staff Kanthi and Latha are also very caring. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful rooftop pool with infinity border, where I had a lovely sunset view. The dinner buffet (and the breaksfast as well) were something to note and to enjoy. One of the supervisors was very kind in organizing our airport transfer to the next morning as well as in guiding for a taxi in which I has drove to visit the Colombo's tower

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams

Colombo (Near Kelaniya)

Boasting a bar, Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams offers accommodation in Colombo, 700 metres from Galle Face Beach and 2.3 km from Khan Clock Tower.

Cinnamon Life Colombo is a stunning, brand-new 5-star property that defines luxury. The service is impeccable, and the variety of restaurants is outstanding—Quizzine buffet is fantastic, the Chinese restaurant is amazing, and the rooftop bar offers breathtaking views. The poolside “Dreams and Beats” experience is a perfect way to unwind with great music and cocktails. While Colombo itself doesn’t have much to do, a stay at this property makes visiting the city absolutely worth it—whether as a grand start to your Sri Lanka trip or a luxurious way to end it. Highly recommended! Once the mall and casino opens up in September and all the 800 rooms go full, this place will be a micro vegas!

What guests said about Kelaniya:

Kelaniya is a quiet suburb of Colombo, located on the Divine...

Kelaniya is a quiet suburb of Colombo, located on the Divine Kelani Ganga River. The most significant aspect of Kelaniya is the Maha Raja Vihara, the sacred place where Lord Buddha stayed and delivered sermon on Dharma, and the sacred Kelani Ganga where Lord Buddha took bath. It is a 2,500 year old Stupa and temple with an equally old Bodhi Tree, which create a deep spiritual vibration at the place. Lord Buddha's relics are also preserved in a temple here. It is often visited by some of the most devotional monks and householders here. The campus also hosts a temple dedicated to Lord Vibhishana. There is also a small temple to mark the point where Lord Buddha took bath in the Holy Kelani Ganga river. The river front offers a very peaceful and beautiful scene, for meditation, worship, relaxation and nature love. There is another ancient temple on the other side of the river, which some say is the original 2500 yr old temple, which can be reached by a ferry. Besides this historical & spiritual place, there is nothing much to see around. Kelaniya is otherwise a heavy vehicle maintenance hub. It has all ATMs and supermarkets. But, limited food options. Only a few good restaurants and eateries near the Mahavihara. Sri Vihara is the best for vegetarian foods. Sunisa take away & Balasooriya North Indian are the best for non-veg.
