Karan

From

Australia

Exceptional and unique. Service and cleanliness was impeccable. The room itself is very spacious, and at a comfortable temperature despite the heat outside. Piyanth, our host, was friendly and accomodating. Highly recommended - the sort of experience you will not find in any hotel or resort. We were pleasantly surprised, and the very high rating is well deserved.

We had the most wonderful stay at Aathma House. The location is perfect: a quiet, little green haven in the midst of Colombo. The room was outstandingly well decorated and comfortable and the pool was stunning. Most of all, the personnel was particularly sweet and attentive (and the food delicious - big up to the crab curry!). We would definitely stay there again. Thank you Aathma House for this wonderful start to our honeymoon!

From

Germany

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.

Gulnaz

From

Germany

It was a great stay! I want to particularly emphasize the friendliness and professionalism of staff members, and particularly the manager, and their hard work in keeping the place cozy and clean. Cat and dog lovers will also be pleasantly surprised with sweet pets sometimes coming to the property. Overall, clean, friendly, and great value for money. The location is also good, with grocery shops, coffee shops, and restaurants within walking distance.

Edyta

From

Poland

The owners are wonderful - we came in the middle of night and we're leaving as well very early morning but we had our breakfast done on time. It's really enormous to eat and taste each dish. My daughters loved chandelier in patio where bird made its nest and it was taking care of small birds. Although it's a little out of city centrum but it gives silence and possibility to rest in patio to observe animals as birds and squirrels coming for eating. The room is spacious with attached bathroom. Very close to Leisure Villa there is good restaurant - Tango to eat supper or lunch.
