"Ashanthi and Mr.Daboo are really nice hosts. Due to the Iran- US war, my flight got cancelled and I couldn't check-in on time. So Ashanthi refunded me for the three days I couldn't stay, which I really appreciate it. The place is nice, all rooms and the living room are air conditioned. Everything is clean and Mr. Daboo checked up on us a couple of times as well. Highly recommend it! "

"Amazing place and superb staff. "

"It is a cheap place to stay. You get what you pay for."

"I recently visited Colombo for 5 days in October 2025 and stayed at 50 by the Sea - Had an excellent stay there and all my expectations were met - at times went above the expectations also. The apartment looks very new, is very well maintained and most importantly, its extremely clean. Ive visited Colombo many times and many times, I faced the issue of not so clean bathrooms at some residences - at 50 by the Sea, the bathrooms were so clean and neat that it looked like a 5 star hotel's washroom ( I am from luxury hospitality background, so I can assure you of this high, comparable quality at this place ) - The staff were extremely polite and helpful - I had a few encounters with their housekeeping team and security team - very warm, friendly and helpful. I requested for a few things during my stay and got immediate assistance. The Reservations Manager, Ms Shehara is very kind & approachable - she would often call me to check how I was doing and if everything was ok . The rooms are good in size for single travelers and couples - overlooking the Mt Lavinia beach and beautiful sea view. Any drawbacks ? Well, depending on what you are looking for : * The facility doesn't have its own dining outlet - which is not a big issue as there are many outlets nearby , walking distance. * The accommodation is very close to the Mt Lavinia Railway track so there is plenty of noise - may disturb some and some may find it hard to sleep - for me it was not a big issue "
