"This hotel is grand and doesn’t disappoint. The building is beautifully restored, the rooms are comfortable and the veranda areas are perfect for relaxing by the sea. Food and drinks are good and the service excellent. Once you enter the hotel, the bustle of Colombo completely disappears. Amazing value for money. "
"I booked Olu Based on the reasonable price and great reviews. I wasn’t disappointed. The family were wonderfully friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived, the 2 family dogs are a lovely touch for animal lovers and the villa is clean and quiet with great WiFi.
Great hot water in the showers and a wonderful Sri Lankan breakfast is available on request.
Would definitely stay again when back in Colombo."
"It's an excellent place for your budget. My stay in the hotel was great. The staff is accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was great and had a variety. The room is clean and well-maintained. The only down review is the carpark, which has limited availability and is on a first come, first serve basis."
"The apartment is walkable distance from the beach and the beach is lovely. The breakfast and tea prepared by Mrs. Ganesh was excellent .The only problem we had was with the plug points to charge our mobiles. Also we suggest some small tables to keep the suitcases in the rooms. Flat s bright and spacious. Overall great experience."
