But not close to any shops/ restaurants unlike other areas in colombo ##### Ivan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Apr 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is quiet and clean, perfect to rest and recover from travelling and for a very affordable price. Dennis the owner was very helpful in finding a driver for a day trip that I did on my last day there. Believe the other reviews - this place is a nice one. The location is not in the busy centre of Colombo but you can walk to museums from here, no problem (or a short taxi trip is walking is not your thing). I didn't take up the offer of breakfast but they provide it is you like. ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Subhash Jul 1, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Nothing much to like other than the location. The place is badly maintained with hardly any staff. The front door is shut by 8.30 PM which was inconvenient. The reception is shockingly badly kept as are the exterior areas.Rooms maintenance is dismal. I would not recommend this place to anyone. ##### Subhash Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claude Jan 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Séjour excellent dans cette guesthouse parfaite. Très bon séjour dans une guesthouse parfaite et au calme d’une ruelle en retrait de la route. Nous avions une grande chambre au rez de chaussée avec terrasse. Très bien équipée avec plateau de courtoisie. Belle salle de bain avec produits de toilette. Excellent petit déjeuner très copieux, avec service impeccable. Le wifi fonctionne très bien. Pas utilisée mais la piscine m’a semblée très propre, comme toute la maison. Directeur très accueillant et serviable ainsi que son équipe. Peu de restaurants dans le quartier, privilégier le tuktuk car pas tout proche du front de mer. ##### Claude Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CAROLE Dec 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hotel charmant avec un personnel adorable et serviable ##### CAROLE Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic accomodation for anyone staying in Colombo.

Sudharshan was very responsive in organising transport for us both before our stay and while we were there. The room was nice, clean and they provided slippers and robes. Location was good. Walking distance to Black Cat Cafe and Cinnamon Gardens. Good value. Would stay here again. ##### Alisha J Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maribel Jul 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wunderschön!! Eine wunderschöne Oase etwas ausserhalb vom Stadtzentrum. Das Zimmer war sehr schön, inklusive eigenem Whirlpool. Das Essen war sehr lecker, es empfiehlt sich auch einmal in der Unterkunft zu essen. Das Personal war sehr bemüht und sehr freundlich! ##### Maribel Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma Apr 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### En oas med flera bra restauranger nära Mycket trevligt bemötande. Mysig innergård med liten svalkande pool att flyta i. Ett vackert blommande tempelträd skuggar poolen lätt. Kall öl och färska juicer är inga problem. Fina rena rum med te och kaffe finns på rummet. Vi har varit här två ggr sammanlagt 8 nätter. Liknande service och mysighet bägge gångerna. ##### Emma Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 広くて静かで落ち着けました。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shrikant, Canada Feb 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellant facility.

Ellen's Place has stacks of character - boutique in style but with the smooth operation of a much larger organisation: the people working here and friendly and professional and could not have done more to make our stay a pleasant one. The room was fantastic (large, clean and well-decorated) and the breakfast was great (fresh, plentiful, and promptly served). A great hotel - we will certainly return! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable, clean and friendly staff The hotel was clean, staff were extremely friendly and our room was huge! The hotel doesn’t have much else going on apart from a comfortable spacious room to stay in. A good place to stay in after a long flight. A little expensive and you pay extra for breakfast which the price was also high compared to other places and for what it was. We also got a taxi recommended by the guy who ran the hotel which was 12000 rupees which we thought was 2000 to Mirissa a 1 and a half journey. Make sure you look for other taxi companies as they will be half the price! I stayed in a 5 star hotel afterwards which was offering that much for a private driver for the whole day! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jane, England Apr 2, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic hotel away from the crowds A bit off the beaten track but only 300 rupies to get into town. A very welcome pool to relax in. Staff could not be more helpfull. A brilliant restaurant 'August' just 5 minnutes walk. ##### jane Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SAMURAI, JAPAN Mar 28, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 隠れ家的 静寂な心休まるホテル 大通りから少し中に入った場所にあり、 車通りも少なく、 道一本入っただけの好立地にも関わらず、 静かで、落ち着いた雰囲気の素晴らしいホテルです。 スタッフはフレンドリーで、 入口をぬけて中に入ると、 こじんまりとしたリビングスペースと、その横にレストランが併設されており、 お客様と打ち合わせ後、 そのまま食事をすることができました。 中庭にはプールがありましたが、 今回は泳げませんでした。唯一の心残りかな。 部屋はソファーがあり、 へやの中でも打ち合わせが出来るスペースがあったことが良かったです。 次回は子供達と一緒にプールに入り、 のんびり過ごしたいです。 ##### SAMURAI Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cinnamon Grand Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Cinnamon-Grand-Colombo.h916269.Hotel-Information) > > [Accent Inns Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Accent-Inns-Victoria.h23239.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Hotel & Suites Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels-Sandman-Hotel-Suites-Kelowna.h25861.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Red Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Cinnamon-Red-Colombo.h8796833.Hotel-Information) > > [Marino Beach Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Marino-Beach-Colombo.h29961010.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels.d180017.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels.d601750.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mandarina Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Mandarina-Colombo.h17399512.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Conrad-Las-Vegas-At-Resorts-World.h60884493.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kingsbury Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-The-Kingsbury-Colombo.h19910.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Gravenhurst Muskoka Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Gravenhurst-Muskoka-Wharf.h2621805.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Cinnamon-Lakeside-Colombo.h2281.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Stone Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Living-Stone-Golf-Resort.h1590687.Hotel-Information) > > [Platinum One Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Platinum-One-Suites.h14687630.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Dunamar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Riu-Dunamar-All-Inclusive.h18133944.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels.d181861.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Shangri-La Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Shangri-La-Colombo.h19414242.Hotel-Information) > > [Galle Face Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Galle-Face-Hotel.h11080678.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Saint John (YSJ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ysj/yyc/saint-john-to-calgary) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lhr/toronto-to-london) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Tulum (TUY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tuy/toronto-to-tulum) ### Packages > [Prince George Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Prince-George.d4125.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [United States of America Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/United-States-Of-America.d201.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides)
