This was an amazing stop. We stayed on the 34th floor. View was amazing you can see lotus tower from the balcony. The swimming pool is great. They have an air conditioned room to sit in while the kids swim and a play area by the pool. kFC and Pizza Hut very close 3 supermarkets within walking distance they also have options to eat in them. There are some nice Sri Lankan food places near by as well. We had a two bedroom apartment there were 3 air conditioned units in it one in each bed room all worked well. One shower has good pressure the water was not hot hot but was ok. It is very clean and tidy. The agent is awesome sent details through prior to arrival and was available via what’s app if we had any questions That it does need is pool towels there are not any only white towels at the pool is difficult. They have washing machine so you can wash them and a drying rack on the balcony. What would have been nice would have been instructions on how to use the TV we just didn’t watch it and was not a big deal we could have asked if we wanted to.

We booked this hotel super last minute for our last night in Sri Lanka before leaving the next day. Found it on googlemaps when looking around the area as I had an appointment nearby the next morning. The place is new, all new finishings, smells new, modern, room was really amazing it exceeded our expectations and would definitely go back if back in Colombo. Friendly and helpful staff although we spent less than 24hrs there. Cool rooftop with pool !

The breakfast, especially the Sri Lankan options, is delicious. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with cozy beds. The location is perfect for a walk to the city center or accessing nearby bus stops. Ceylon Stayz offers incredible value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant stay.

The location of the hotel is excellent, walking distance to city center. The view from the rooftop is amazing. The bedrooms are nice and comfortable, and the staff is very nice and helpful. Our bag packs didn’t arrive with us in the same flight so we had to wait and contact the airport to arrange the delivery at the hotel. Special thanks to Kalindu from the reception, he helped us a lot contacting the airport and the delivery guy, so we could get our bags as soon as possible, because we needed to leave next morning.

My train to Kandy was at 6.30 AM, they provided me very tasty packed breakfast which was arranged sharp at 5.30AM on my request.The staff was great and very well behaved. They obliged me by keeping my extra luggage in their store for the duration, I travelled to Kandy and Nawara Eliya. Perfect place to stay.
