Colombo Courtyard

Top choice in Colombo


All the comforts you could ask for (decent work areas, rain showers, welcome fruit basket and more) are appealingly packaged at this new small hotel. Some rooms look onto the pool area. The entire property feels more like a posh urban retreat than mere hotel. Need some action? The rooftop terrace bar, Cloud Cafe, is a popular hang out.
