Alakamandava

Bardzo ładnie położone miejsce, w spokojnej okolicy, miły właściciel. Apartament duży, oprócz dwóch sypialni mieliśmy do dyspozycji kuchnię, salon i bardzo duże tarasy z piękną roślinnością.

Niestety daleko od centrum - to jedyny minus.

We had a lovely stay at Alakamandava, and would absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for a spacious, peaceful base in Colombo. The property is beautiful, large, and very well maintained, offering a comfortable retreat from the bustle of the city. From the moment we arrived—earlier than planned—the host made sure everything was ready for us. The early, impromptu check-in was handled quickly and smoothly, which we were really grateful for after travelling. The caretaker was also excellent, responding promptly to a minor issue with a toilet, which was fixed within the hour! The bedrooms are spacious and clean, with air conditioning units that made sleeping very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need, and the washing machine was especially appreciated after several days exploring Colombo with kids! In the evenings, we enjoyed spending time in the lovely outdoor seating area, chatting with family and relaxing. The living area, however, doesn't have air conditioning—only a fan—which made it a bit uncomfortable to sit in during the more humid parts of the day. While the villa is located a bit away from the main tourist areas, it's easy to get around using PickMe (Sri Lanka’s ride-hailing app), and we found it straightforward to arrange transport both into the city and onward to our next destination. Shops are within walking distance, and we also discovered a great little local café serving delicious curry and rice—not far from the property and definitely worth a visit. All in all, Alakamandava was a wonderful place to stay—spacious, peaceful, and well cared for, with helpful hosts and everything you need for a comfortable stay. We’d definitely stay here again when visiting Colombo.

Lack of air conditioning in the living area. At times this was uncomfortable but at others, the large fan kept us cool.

Die Einrichtung, das Personal

Die Treppe ist sehr gefährlich für klein Kinder , zu steil

NA

Stairs three steps of stairs to the upper attic like room. Booked two rooms. But they weee so far away looked like two different units. So not useful for a family with kids.

Super impressive building with many places to hang out. Very cozy vibe with all the interesting furniture. Great views. Nice people and definitely try the delicious meals they prepare.
