I really liked the area, beautiful large beach.
I really liked the area, beautiful large beach. The hotel I stayed at were really professional and great value for money. There are quite a few places to eat around but during this time many places were closed due to the escalation of the Corona Virus. They do offer water sport activities around the area but it was just nice to have some peace.
The people around do love to try and sell you items even when you say no, so be adamant and don't entertain them.

It is a lovely and famous, coastal area in the capital.
It is a lovely and famous, coastal area in the capital. However, beach-front properties are often fully booked and are expensive. The area is quite safe for anyone. The beach is beautiful, but locals don't recommend dipping in the sea here as it is considered too polluted.

If you are a beach lover and need to be closer to the city,...
If you are a beach lover and need to be closer to the city, Mount Lavinia is best as it has one of the best beaches in Colombo. There are many amenities for tourists. Hotels , shops and restaurants and fast food places like Burger king, Pizza hut, Mc Donakds and KFC..Mount Lavinia Hotel with its history and location has great sea views with its own private beach. Delivers a 5 star service. The hotel has a variety of dinning oprions including a buffet with local and international cuisine. Well known for its sea food dishes and run by a famous local celebrity chef. Beach reatarants are scattered along the beach, a few mins walk along the beach and there are many bars and pĺaces to eat. Shore by O or Sea Breeze restaurant are couple of many. In Dehiwala a short Tuk ride away , you will find good beach restaurants like "The Station " and "Barracuda". Mount Lavinia Railway station is also a few mins away from the main road which has direct links to major cities and tourist attractions like Anuradhapura, Galle and down south towns. Kandy,Ella and other destinations can be accessed via a change at Fort main station. Trains to Anuradhapura and Jaffna starts from Mount Lavinia.The city of Colombo is easily accessed via the train to avoid traffic and congestion at peak times. Mount Lavinia has a Golden sandy beach with hired sun loungers and deck chairs. Have to cross the railway line to access Beach and no flat surface for buggies or wheelchairs. Please be aware when crossing the railway line as trains can approach fast. Please also be aware of sea currents and follow life guard's advice. Mount Lavinia has a lifeguard on duty. Best sunsets can be seen from Mount Lavinia.
Large rooms. Really clean, big attached bathroom, private balcony where i could watch the sunset. The staff were so friendly and helpful, had breakfast in the lounge which was so cute and comfortable, even had plenty of plug sockets so could be used as a work station. Just a few steps to the beach, we have to cross a railway track to get onto mount lavinia beach, but this was not dangerous at all, and the trains did not disturb us at night.
Will definitely return here on my return trip to Colombo.
My grateful thanks to the owners Mahesa and Anil who were quick to respond and helped me a lot when I needed to take care of my leg in a hospital.
My grateful thanks to the caretakers of the house Mrs. Soma and Mr. Premeratna, who took care of me like their son, and prepared so delicious Sri Lankan meals for a very reasonable price.
I felt so good in this so beautiful and big apartment, which also has very comfortable bed, and very good shower.
We had a very good stay at royal mount hotel. It's located a bit away from the main street, and even if the train line is close, it was a quiet and not noisy surrounding. The staff and the manager was super helpful, the room was clean and in really good and modern condition. The shower was one of the best in our 3 weeks on Sri lanka. The beach with some nice restaurants is very close and only 3 minutes walk. We definitely can recommend that place
I had a fantastic one-day stay at the Ice Berg. The location was excellent. The highlight was the delicious breakfast they provided, which was a delightful start to the day. The cleanliness of the room, lobby, and all the apartment areas was impressive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Considering the price, this apartment was an excellent value for money. As I was there for work purposes, the stay was both productive and enjoyable.
This apartment is owned and operated by Mr. Raj I have been a guest there for some years, the hospitality this gentleman offers is second to none, specially those so called full service and star class ones every time I stay there I was beyond satisfied and being treated like a royalty, this is a true with all, I highly recommend and guarantee personally if you need accommodation in Colombo too look for it
Thank you very much sir
An ideal place if you need to stay in Colombo. I didn't expect the place to be so peaceful and quiet, considering its central location near the main road. I liked everything:
- Location;
- Stable internet;
- Fully equipped kitchen;
- Spacious common area;
- Balcony in the evenings;
- Super helpful modern family.
I was really lucky to find such a place and in the end felt like home there.
it was a totally scam i was deceived by a awesome pool photo they have added in their gallery there is no pool also the room has a view of a house lines it ruins the vibe … when i enter it has a smell and bathroom lights were not working they didn’t provided a quilt and it’s hard in the night because of the cold very dissatisfied never book that hotel
the food and location were superb. The hotel is going through a return and parts are tired and in need of repair. The foyer was leaking water from above the whole stay which took some of the charm away and felt a bit unsafe Therefore the price should have been reduced whilst the hotel re-finds its past reputation. I hope it does.
be sure, it is the best option for staying in 10 minutes drive from the National park Wilpattu. the room was VERY clean, cosy, the mattresses are new and comfortable, AC and hot water!!! Dylan (the owner) is very friendly. hotel provides launch and dinners -everything is very simple but Ssoooo tasty! highly recommended to visit!
Excellent customer service. Deen is very helpful and careful. Beautiful room and brand New. Not far from the beach . 8 ro 10 minutes walking distance . Very quiet place to relax and sunbath on the terrace . Will be back next time I go back to Sri lanka . If you like the nature and flowers this is the place to be .
lovely room, very comfortable and clean. As many others mentioned Ashoka was delightful and ever so helpful. the Sri Lankan breakfast was amazing!
the location is in a quiet neighborhood but just a 3 minute walk to the beach where there are many nice restaurants. a great place to walk and catch the sunset.
Hotel was located in a nice location walking distance to the Mt Lavinia beach, Restaurants & Bars. Nice swimming pool which little bit rare in the area & for the rate.
Staff was really nice, room comes with a privet balcony which was clean & awesome. Staff also super friendly.
Great location, very friendly staff. Not all speak English, but it is in Sri Lanka!
Food available on request to a certain time and they can supply you beer and drinking water bottles at a reasonable fee.
Would recommend for a good cheap stay.
The hotel is well presented and the room was very clean and comfortable. The owner/manager was very attentive. Breakfast was attractive and nicely prepared. We would recommend this small hotel.
