High level of service. Luxury quality of rooms and large breakfast. Cozy swimming pool on the roof where you can meet the sunset. Large room with enough space for clothes and suitcases, good view from the window.

New establishment - room was huge and very comfortable Location - Easy to get to , next street to Barefoot - the well known Colombo eatery and store Staff - extremely friendly and welcoming Food - The hoppers were excellent - claimed by the chef to be the best in Colombo !

The bathroom facilities in the bedroom were bizarre to say the least. The wash basin was contained within the room and the shower and toilet were essentially two frosted glass partitions within the room. The "frosted glass" however was see through and as a result there was zero privacy in the shower or toilet. The shower and the toilet cubicle were also very small with toilet door actually hitting the toilet when opened ! According to the manager, the builders did not follow the measurements during construction and by the time they realised the error , it was too late !!

Beautiful new hotel with lovely facilities and good location. Staff could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. Highly recommend

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Taprobane House! It is a lovely boutique hotel tucked away on a small lane but still close enough to go on foot or short taxi ride to many attractions. The staff were all wonderful. Deeptha was particularly helpful in setting up my stay beforehand and communication was excellent throughout my stay. Everyone was kind and helpful. The room was large, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. I didn’t use the pool but enjoyed the rooftop views of the city. Barefoot Cafe is only 1/2 bock away and has live jazz music every Sunday. Many thanks to all of the staff!

Everything was great.

The rooms were spacious and cozy. The staff was exceptionally kind and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. Don't miss dining at the in-house restaurant—the food is fantastic, and the chef is a delightful person to chat with. If we had more time in Colombo, we would have eaten there more often; the fish curry and coconut milk dal were absolutely exceptional. The location is unbeatable—right by the coast, with everything you might need as you arrive in a new country just a short walk away. It’s also conveniently close to all the popular tourist spots, making it the perfect base for exploring the area.

Taprobane was the most amazing hotel we stayed in during our trip in Sri Lanka. Staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. They were so smiley and welcoming and also looked after us so well! The hotel is new and extremely clean. The rooms are huge. The bed is lovely. The whole place is genuinely well made and maintained. Absolute gem of a hotel. We ordered room service the last night of our stay and the butter prawns were tremendous. We were pleasantly surprised to see the food being so on point too! If you are staying in Colombo this hotel is THE place to get some rest from the city bustle. Well done to everyone working there and special thanks to Deeptha for his support and efforts!

Bathroom is in the room, very stylishly made but not much privacy. However, everything was of very high quality.

A brand new modern hotel with a rooftop pool overlooking the sea. Everything was wonderful! Details: -comfortable bed, - large beautiful room, - excellent shower. The hotel has an excellent team. Ryan, who works at the front desk, is a very nice young man! Ryan, thank you very much! Your advice and recommendations have helped a lot, and communicating with you has left the most pleasant memories. The restaurant also employs cool guys. I watched them make tea. Such diligence and diligence is just amazing. We had breakfast and lunch at the hotel, everything was very tasty, I recommend it. Thanks to the Dinusha chef and all the guys in the kitchen and bar. Nilusha, thank you too! I am sure that with such employees, the hotel will thrive and succeed. And I really hope that I will return to Sri Lanka, to Colombo and stay in this wonderful hotel again.

The room was very beautifully designed and very comfortable. Actually the architecture of the whole hotel was beautifully crafted. There was a smart TV available, not very common for Sri Lankan hotels. The room and bathrooms were very clean. The front office manager Deeptha and the rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location in the heart of Colombo is very easily accessible and there are lots of eateries and shopping around the area.

My only gripe is that the room service menu is limited and is only open till about 7pm, but I guess that's normal for a boutique hotel.

The hotel is a very recent building and everything is still in pretty good shape. It's been well designed. The location is a few meters from the ocean, there are very good restaurants in the area (I'd recommend The Avenue), and you are 20 minutes tuk-tuk away from the Fort and Railway station.

The breakfast was quite a deception for all of us as everything was poorly prepared and cold. There's also a lack of maintenance throughout the rooms. Our shower was clogged and the A/C would crash regularly during the night.

This was my second stay. The pool is fantastic. The rooms are large and have four poster beds. The staff are friendly and helpful.

We had a couple of issues - sink didn't drain properly but staff came and sorted it and expected to fix further before next booking as a maintenance day was booked. The shower hot water was temperamental - went hot and cold - i have seen people comment about the shower so hopefully this is something that can be resolved. This wouldn't put me off staying here - still highly recommend the hotel for a clean modern large new room with a lovely rooftop pool!
