My time at Aathma was one of the best stays I have ever had. The energy there is just beautiful, the staff, the food, the location, the architecture of the house just everything was perfect for me. I felt so welcomed and at ease. If you need time to wind down and recharge, or for any occasion really. Make sure you pay Aathma a visit. I will definitely come again, when in Sri lanka.

We booked very late notice due to flight delay and getting into Colombo late. He cooked us traditional Sri Lankan food and it was absolutely superb! He was kind and very accommodating. A very pleasant stay. Would highly recommend. He also organised a well priced taxi to Sigiriya in the morning

Looking for history without kitsch I discovered this discrete Guesthouse . Away from the crowds of Colombo, the spacious room and antique charm gave me a fantastic rest after exploring Sri Lanka’s capital. With all the qualities of a classic hotel I could enjoy style and comfort while maintaining the privacy of home.

Functions more like an air bnb than a hotel. Only 3 or so rooms. Extremely friendly and helpful host (Kishan) that made the stay very pleasant. Very good value for money. Clean and spacious room. Modern bathroom.
