If I should come back to Colombo, I would stay here again in any case. The hotel shines with its cleanliness and is very professionally run. The room has everything and everything works perfectly. The staff was very friendly and supportive. I felt like I was in a 5-star hotel here. The closeness to the beach is brilliant. You can reach the ocean in just 2 minutes walking distance and have a beautiful beach for walking and swimming. On the other hand, you are not just in a touristic part of the city and have various local shopping facilities and restaurants right on your doorstep. The location is very quiet and the singing of the birds makes you feel like you're not in the big capital. The internet is very fast and working the whole time. The breakfast was very delicious.

The staff was really kind (especially with our kid). The room was nice and clean. It was close to the beach and there are a lot of restaurants and a Cargill supermarket close to it. The staff helped us to organize our transfer to Willpattu. We enjoyed the roof pool. The breakfast was exceptional.

Silva received us at 5am. He made wonderful Sri Lankan omelettes and string hoppers. He served us tea in the afternoon. We felt very much cared for. Benjamin and his wife were telling us where we could go in addition to our own program. It was a great place to be.

This hotel is a truly wonderful place – both a destination and a retreat. The existing architecture has been beautifully restored, and it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring Colombo. Coming back here really does feel like coming home – the hotel lives up to its name in every sense. What really stood out for me was the warm and genuinely friendly nature of the staff – and of the owner himself, if you’re lucky enough (as I was) to meet him and his wife in person. Every little request is handled with great care and kindness at La Maison de Colombo. For me, it was an exceptional stay – one I can wholeheartedly recommend. The fact that the hotel isn’t right in the city centre actually turns out to be a huge plus – it’s wonderfully quiet and peaceful at night. That said, getting into Colombo and seeing the sights is easy – whether you hop on a local bus, grab a tuk-tuk, or take a taxi. All in all, an unforgettable experience – and excellent value for money! Very stylish and warm-hearted!

Despite some misunderstandings caused by credit card charges through the bank, the hotel manager, Mr. Kariyawasam remained professional and kind in handling the situation. The staff were also very friendly, and the facilities were modern and well-maintained. Overall, if I were to recommend a place to stay in the area, Viluxey City Hotel would undoubtedly be my top choice.

It is a nice new hotel a short distance from Mt Lavinia beach. Although the beach is not really nice, based on what we saw in the south… This place has a great swimming pool and really nice staff, that was very helpful and always trying to solve everything. Thank you! ❤️
