16. Villa 53

Battaramulla South

"Battaramulla is a much underrated destination in Sri Lanka. Near to everything that Colombo has to offer but with its own unique identity and a beautiful lake and wetland reserve area, the town is worth considering as your base when visiting Sri Lanka - and nowhere is more welcoming, comfortable or hospitable than Villa 53. The hosts - Sriyantha and Champie - went way, way beyond the call of duty to make our stay both memorable and productive. Nothing was too much trouble for them or their team...

Top Gonawala Hotel Reviews

Hilton Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location wonderful staff"

Marino Beach Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"We ended 12 days in Sri Lanka here and it was easily the best-equipped hotel of the whole trip. The 53-metre rooftop infinity pool on the tenth floor is the standout: ocean on one side, city skyline on the other, and spectacular sunsets over the sea. Come up in the late afternoon. The room was excellent — very comfortable king bed, a bathroom with both shower and bathtub, and a huge TV. Everything felt new and well maintained, and despite the city-centre setting on Marine Drive, noise was not a problem. Several restaurants and bars on site meant plenty of choice without leaving the building, and the food was good across the board. Very good value too for this standard of hotel. A perfect last stop before flying home, and it would work just as well at the start of a trip."

Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff, great gym, good views."

Cinnamon Grand Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Great city centre hotel"

Cinnamon Red Colombo

8/10 Good

"Love the location. Few minutes drive to everything. The highlight was the hotel rooftop pool. The sunset view was amazing. Room is decent and clean."

Shangri-La Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely flawless, the staff is the most helpful and will make you feel at home as soon as you arrive. The breakfast was a life altering experience."

Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"quick and professional services"

Mandarina Colombo

8/10 Good

"Highly reco"

Granbell Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"We returned to this hotel because we liked it so much, and again loved the location and surroundings of it. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Due to the public holidays, it was very busy this time and the breakfast room seemed a bit overwhelmed, plus it was difficult to get a towel"
