Just a one night stay
Amazingly decorated place - love it all. Huge home that has been converted to a small hotel. In a very quiet area. Great recommendations for food places - thanks. Staff are very relaxed and quite chilled. Room was adequate - comfy bed . Far too hot with mossie net lowered - even with fan and aircon on the room is quite warm making for restless sleep. Also organised a tour of the city for us.

Amazing stay!
Amazing stay-what a beautiful respite from the hubbub of Colombo! Amazing little retreat-a little far from city center but this isn’t a bad thing. Would definitely come back here! Food and service were amazing and room was impeccable!

We stayed at the aathma at the beginning and end of our trip, the king suite with balcony first and the deluxe suite in the main building last, both rooms are of a very high standard and we throughly enjoyed our stay. An esquisite retreat in everyway, so much so that we want to live there! Samir I love you! X

The Most Unbelievable Stay!
We arrived in Colombo and our driver from the hotel was waiting for us with a big smile on his face. We went straight to Aathma (means soul in Sanskrit and boy did it have soul!!) From the second we arrived the second we left, we felt welcomed, at home, and so at peace with the beautiful surroundings of architecture, nature and people. The owners Dushy, Niyo & Samir were so special to deal with. Their lovely natures and welcoming vibe made us feel at home straight away at Aathma. The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable, there was not 1 thing missing from this place. The food was out of this world!! I am a chef and I'm not usually blown away by food but this food blew me away. Was healthy, fresh and perfectly filling. Our stay was A+ and we will be back. We loved every minute of our time there so thank you, thank you, thank you for being such wonderful hosts and sharing your hotel with us!!

Lieu paradisiaque au cœur de colombo
Endroit totalement magique en plein cœur de Colombo, vue sur le lac, maison d’une femme indienne créatrice de mode et décoratrice. L établissement est tenu par sa fille et son gendre, jeune couple d une trentaine d’annee adorable qui se plient en 4 pour faire de votre séjour un moment inoubliable N hésitez pas à les contacter, même si toutes les chambres semblent occupées, ils garde 2 chambres hors norme à la location.... Merci à eux pour leur gentillesse et la qualité de la prestatio

Tolles Boutiquehotel in ruhiger Lage
Sehr schönes detailverliebtes Hotel. In der Nähe ist ein toller Park mit See und großem Spielplatz. Restaurant sehr gut. In die "Innenstadt" ist es ca. 25 Minuten mit dem Taxi. Im Zimmer war das Bad leider sehr ungünstig gebaut, beim Duschen hat man fast alles unter Wasser gesetzt. Personal sehr freundlich, teilweise jedoch etwas übereifrig, wenn alle zwei Minuten gefragt wird, was vom Tisch abgeräumt werden kann obwohl offensichtlich noch alles benutzt wird.

Hi Jens, Thanks for your review and for your kind comments on our design details and food. We appreciate your feedback on the bathroom. We are installing a shower curtain in the double room to prevent the water splashing. Thank you for commenting on our friendly staff. I understand our enthusiasm to keep the tables clear can sometimes go too far. I have done further training with our staff to ensure we wait until all meals are finished before asking to clear. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your holiday, we'd be glad to host you here again :)

Ravis de ce séjour
Decoration originale et cosy. Service très attentionné. Carte variée pour repas de très bonne qualité. Chambre bien équipée, jardin et piscine. Aathma House cumule les fonctions d'un hôtel avec la sympathie d'un gite familial.
