Beautiful and comfortable place to stay and relax. The host gave us a warm and friendly welcome and greeted us around 9pm at night. The host is very helpful and accommodate to our special request. We stayed at 2 different rooms and both have their own unique and beautiful decorations. Love both rooms especially the bathrooms very much. Feel like having shower in the nature. It's a good place to stay at the end of our holiday trip and will remember it always.

It is very clean and peaceful, although most of the time we were busy outside, we had no trouble dropping in for a short rest because the location was very convenient! We would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a welcoming place to stay and refresh.

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!

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.
