The location is excellent. Beds, pillows very comfortable. The room was large and spotlessly clean. Let down a little by quirky plumbing in bathroom. Hot water needs to be switched on!, No indication on arrival.. Niggles about plugs- you need a good adaptor. No hairdryer or toiletries provided A./c very noisy so could not be used at night had to... More

We stayed 3 nights in one of the three comfortable rooms with private bathroom. On the same floor is a spacious living room with kitchen where breakfast is also served. The location is not far from the sights and cheap tuk tuks take you erverywhere. The hotels in Colombo that offer the same standard are much more expensive and less... More

We stayed for one night. Check in was no problem. Hasanka was very helpful. Apartment consisted of a big bedroom with comfortable bed but why they put the air con at the head of the bed was very inconvenient. I actually slept with my feet at the head and ended up with a frozen rear, while hubby had a frozen... More

Due to a change of plans, me and my friend arrived at this hotel at 6am, hours before the check in time (1pm) but our room was made ready there and then at no extra charge. I was very impressed- and thankful! The room and bathroom were spacious and nicely furnished. Another plus was the large wardrobe, safe and fridge.... More

The guest house is conveniently located at the liberty plaza area. Around a 15 minutes walk to the Galle Face area, 5 minutes by tuk tuk. The staff were very helpful and provided good touring tips. We were able to hang around in the house after check-out on the last day before we went to the airport at 10 pm.... More

The hotel is not really an hotel but an apartment with three bedrooms and a kitchen-diner. There is now a large sign at the entrance to the lane so earlier complaints about difficulty in finding the hotel can be forgotten. The bedrooms were comfortable with air-conditioning and a warm-water supply that worked (otherwise hard to find in Sri Lanka). The... More

Whitehouse residencies is a simple, clean very reasonable place to stay for a night in Colombo. Staff very helpful and made sandwiches as we left too early for breakfast. Room has aircon and wifi, tea making facilities, complimentary drinking water. Free DVDs available to watch in room. Located in a nice street to walk along.
