So this place is more of a homestay than a hotel. It’s not nearly as nice as pictures (but I never really expect they are ) 
It’s started pretty badly as I had booked a deluxe double and upon arrival was told wasn’t available! So that’s annoying seeing as it clearly stated that’s what I’d booked. They presumed that by pushing two singles together it was acceptable. It was a completely different room.The room was small dark and quite unkempt to be honest. Cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and a couple of dead cockroaches. The rooms weren’t cleaned daily and my bin wasn’t emptied and I had to ask for loo roll. The breakfast was nice though, fruit and omelette pretty standard for Sri Lanka 
The pool looks nice but not really for swimming in.  The little garden was quaint, and the staff were nice and polite and got us taxis wherever we needed to go 
There’s s small supermarket round the corner which was handy and I recommend eating at ‘paradise road the Gallery cafe.’

Rustic !

Loved the staff, they were friendly and nice. The rooms were not in the best shape, lots of water damage on the hotel, and the breakfast was late most of the time- even though it was pretty ok. 
Cute but not the best standard. 

Nice staff but very shabby 

Such a beautiful and very well presented boutique villa, run by a well informed manager and house lady. We had the best stay here as the staff were the best and the house lady was such a beautiful person with a soul that reached into your heart. Delicious breakfast served when you request at an enormous beautiful table. So much to see here as antiques collected throughout. Dinner or lunch is not available on site but they will order in take away if required or will order transport to any dining experience you desire. We went to TGI Friday which was wonderful experience.
Nothing was any trouble for the staff he xx

Fabulous Boutique Villa

We stayed one night (happily ever after) in this hotel when we arrived in Sri Lanka. The hotel is not necessarily well located compared to the moving neighborhoods but good, it's a detail. At first glance, the hotel looks good and as described but when we arrive in the room, we are disappointed and disappointed: the smell of refractory, stained sheets, stained napkin, no hot water in the shower, stools and cattle of all kinds join us (on the edge, it was the least embarrassing). But the worst of all is that we have fallen into a time when the house (hotel): it was in a very good working order 😱 really early in the morning!

Staff at the top but quality ratio price not top

nice place and lovely staff in an impractical location. Near nowhere but traffic jams. Better to stay in albeit more bland hotel in the forte area or Galle Road. for people passing thruough Colombo it really isnt an option

dont get it!

The hotel is very nice with spacious and clean rooms, friendly staff and very available. The location is excellent on a quiet and very quiet road, in a few minutes of tuk tuk you reach the center. Breakfast in the norm.

I highly recommend it.

We stayed here with friends (2 couples) for 3 nights. While it is a quiet oasis in the city, think twice before booking here. The location of the pool - some bedrooms have windows opening to the pool - means that when guests decide
to have a swim at 10pm you will hear it! 
The beds had a lightweight quilt/duvet which did not have a cover on it. Our friends reported the same on their bed. I am doubtful they are changed between customers and so their cleanliness is questionable (mine certainly had marks/stains on it). There were no top sheets provided either so it did not feel “nice” sleeping under the cover-less quilt. The bathrooms are just okay in terms of cleanliness and amenities.
Another consideration is the location - it is about a 20 minute to tuk-tuk ride from the city centre. If I had my choice again I would pick a place closer to the sights. NB: however within walking distance of the villa is Borella Cemetery - we had an enjoyable and interesting two hour walk around, reading old gravestones. The author Arthur C. Clarke is buried here. 
Nevertheless the breakfasts were great and there was always plenty to eat. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Can’t recommend

My husband and I stayed here for our first night in Sri Lanka! We were given a free room upgrade as we are doing this trip to celebrate our anniversary. 
We walked in and were utterly amazed by the size of the room! It was a big bed with drapes around it, dining table, living room and a nice sized bathroom! We had a balcony that opened over the end of the pool, which was beautiful! We were amazed by the standard of the room!
The staff were lovely and very accommodating! We would definitely stay here again given the chance!!!! 

Traditional hotel 

Villa capers is a lovely little place to stay. It’s not in the centre of Colombo but we liked that actually. My wife and I stayed here for one night when we first arrived in Sri Lanka and it got us off to a great start too our travels. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the manager- Nilonga also upgraded us to their biggest room! Which was amazing! We had a comfortable night sleep and and we were served a simple but pleasant breakfast. The hotel has a swimming pool and pool table but we didn’t use them. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would recommend this to anyone. 

Lovely traditional hotel. 

Villa Caper's is the perfect oasis of stylish serenity and calm in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Colombo. The hosts went beyond all expectations to ensure our stay was enjoyable, upgrading us to a suite without us asking (as it was our last night in the country), as well as allowing us use of the room long after checkout as we were catching a flight very late in the evening.
