The property has called upon its history of struggles and achievements during its colonial past to make the decoration and wall hangings into something that is a daily source of interest to its visitors. They have successfully blended that with a small swimming pool and other decoration to give an immediate feeling of relaxation. The proximity of a family beach which stretches for miles in both directions and also houses cafes and restaurants with value prices to dream about

I feel sure that many of the things that I found such a feature of daily pleasure will be another person’s area for niggling criticism. I however, can only make my own judgement based on having enjoyed a holiday to remember which was in no small way attributed to this hotel and its lovely staff

It’s hard to fault this place. Staff and owner are friendly, generous and helpful with any request or need. Beach is lovely, clean, very close by and accessible. You can fish, swim, or just enjoy a beverage at the local surf club. Shops and supermarket just a short walk away and have all you need for your stay. Hotel pool is a tropical gem, clean and well maintained. Rooms are comfortable, hot water showers, air conditioned, each has a private courtyard, refrigerator and excellent television with a good selection of English channels if you need that. The area is laid back and the locals are friendly. I’d recommend the stay here and will return when I’m next in the area. Happy travels! 😊

Nothing

The stay was very close to the bus stand for both directions so it made travelling very easy. Customer service goes a long way and so a special thanks to all the staff members, Yogi, Krisho, Akash, Mihisara, Saleem uncle and the Manager! They were very welcoming, attended all my requests and took care of me like their own. They are very kind hearted people and will make you feel like at home. The best part was the relaxing swimming pool! Will definitely be back!

Staff was good (except may be 1 sour-faced young man who obviously had some "aversions" and even better informed as average staff around the world or Sri Lanke (about e.g. trains otherv transport , sites etc.) Little pool was also good (oh it could have been longer! to give nice opportunity for better swimming in the morning!). Ocean was 2-3 minutes' walk away. (with some exercise "devices" for pull-up, push-up etc,). Room equipment OK too (AC, TV with "functioning programs, kettle), large bed.

State-generated power cuts (not depending on the Villa itself). Bed was a bit short, especially for taller men (I am just average).

Nice room with balcony, clean&safe. I stayed total of 5 nights. They refilled amentities as I ran out, just remember to ask daytime.

I didn't feel necessary unsafe but I took the longer route to the beach after first day. Evening time I used Uber to get places.

Place is situated in a very convenient location with easy access to beach and supermarket. Place has a very friendly atmosphere and room and bathroom were very clean. Staff is highly attentive and friendly. Nice place to stay in a walking distance to Mt. Lavinia beach.

A/C was leaking water on the second day and wasn't cooling the room efficiently. But didn't bother much.

The staff at The Villa were very accommodating and obliging. They gave good service throughout my stay and allowed to check out at 2 instead of 11 which was something I appreciated. The hotel is comfortable, clean and welcoming.

The hotel is very inexpensive - it really would be churlish to criticise as my stay there was very comfortable

it’s the best place to stay in mount lavinia :) every time we are in colombo we come back there. the place is nice, clean, comfortable, has a cool pool and very helpful and friendly staff. the location is perfect because you are close to the beach, all the shops, restaurants and main road but it’s not too noisy and busy around. totally recommend. the building itself is a very nice old house and has its unique atmosphere.

nothing , all was great :)

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities exceeded my expectations. The location was also convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions. I highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

I liked everything about this property other than what I am going to mention in the next box where it says ( what I didn’t like about the property? )

The toilet wasn’t clean enough I had to clean the comad and the seat had spots I had to wipe it really hard. the shower screen was really dirty I would suggest for it to be changed. the other thing was the ants everywhere and some mosquitoes. there is no generator for the power cut times.
