Bambalapitiya Travel Guide

Colombo

Colombo, despite it's location alongside the ocean, still has a very industrial feel to it.  For some reason, the contrast of this scene resonated with me.

We had read about this place online and it lived up to reviews. It is a cafe that is attached to an art gallery and retail store. The food is great, the fabrics and other things for sale are really beautiful and the ambience is nice. Also, they have pretty decent, mostly thick milkshakes.

Staff were amazing. Friendly and super helpful. The room seemed a bit outdated, and old. Ive stayed at other Radisson hotels and the look and feel is way more modern. But the courteous staff make up for where the hotel fell short.
