It is a beautiful place in a quiet area in the downtown core of Columbo. The beds are good, it's clean and well kept, very nicely decorated.

The breakfast looked amazing and tempting, I say this for I do not eat breakfast. But on that note, I did thoroughly enjoy the dinners, especially the mushroom and pumpkin curries. Most appealing is the beautiful staff. Truly it’s like coming home, from the moment I stepped through the door the kindness, love, and warmth is undeniable. It was a loving embrace— thank you 💝

It was the newest, cleanest and friendliest hostel I've ever stayed in. Honestly, I'm impressed. The dorms are air-conditioned and have en-suite bathrooms with basic toiletries. No towel was provided though - but not sure, maybe you can ask for it additionally. There is also a big and fully equipped kitchen - I rarely see this in hostels. Owners are super friendly and listen to all the requests. Highly recommend staying here.

Ceylon Stayz is a very special place. I arrived in the early hours of the morning and in darkness walking up the steps I was doubting my choice. I'd been told to call a number and I'd be let in. I hate arriving so late but at 4 a.m I was greeted with the warmest smiling face. I apologised and was told ' Don't be sorry, it's not your fault what time the plane arrives'. Instantly I felt at home. I love the tall ceilings, the neutral colours. My room was perfect, the A.C was excellent and i had 2 wondefull full nights of sleep.. From first booking, Marsha the owner was so accomodating and extremely helpful. Days before you arrive you already feel like a guest. It was Marsha's father who let me in my first night. He is the Manager. In Ireland we have a saying, "The Apple doesn't fall too far from the Tree"! It certainly doesn't in this case. Marsha and her Father are peas in a pod. Two beautiful, kind, considerate and incredibly professional, hospitable hosts. Ceylon Stayz is 11 out of 10 for me. Well done to you both 👏 👍

Perfect location, amazing staff and facilities. Stayed when I first arrived to Sri Lanka and on my last night in the country. They kept a large luggage safe for me while I travelled around the country with a light backpack. Thank you

The room and attached bathroom were clean, hot water and ac both working well, very quiet, nobody disturbing. The room itself was quite good for me - office chair and desk, a cloth rack, 2 beds. Very clean and fresh bedsheets and towel. There was an iron, small kitchen, common area, roof top available. Plain, affordable by price, functional. Very nice reception and uncle guard.

New stylish high-end hotel (open since April 2025) with many rooms and a 24/7 reception. The rooms are very comfy, well equipped and offer you much space. They are highly cleaned and make you feel very welcome. The centre of Colombo is a 15-20 minutes TukTuk away, so the location is nice, too. Staff was very friendly and helpful, they even organized a late night taxi to the airport for us. I highly recommend this place.

Colombo downtown monkey is centrally located in the heart of Colombo just a short 5-minute walk from you Colombo’s main Railway and Bus Station. Guests can also check-out the peaceful Beira Lake.
