What a little Jem! Hidden in the middle of Colombo, this beautiful BnB is a real find. Its squeaky clean, beautifully designed and the service given by Sita is so welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble and the information books in the rooms are very helpful.
It is the best breakfast I have had through my entire trip and as  I stayed a few days I did order dinner which was delicious.

Little Jem!

"Oasis in the City" is a truly accurate description of atmosphere at "27" Spathodea. This elegant, comfortable home is the perfect base for escaping the heat and chaos Colombo city. We arrived around midnight from the airport to be welcomed by Sita, our hostess who  introduced us to first class Sri Lankan hospitality. Each morning she cooked great breakfasts and on two evenings she prepared exceptionally delicious traditional curries for us. 
On the occasion of our visit Glenn and Fiona, the owners of "27" were in Melbourne but this proved no hinderance in getting advice and tips on must see attractions from Glenn. Along with a generous offer of help if needed anytime on our trip around Sri Lanka, Glenn's prompt email responses proved a helpful bonus.

Exotic home away from home

Stayed here for a total of 5 nights on arrival to Sri Lanka and about 3 weeks later prior to departure. It's a superb B&B, down a quite lane in central Colombo. Bedrooms are large with fan & AC; large comfortable beds with 2 pillows; spacious ensuites and a good night's sleep is guaranteed. We stayed in a total of 7 different B&Bs in Sri Lanka and Sita's daily breakfasts at ' 27' topped the list. Rate this B&B 10/10 for everything.

10/10 All the Way

We started our 7 day Sri Lankan trip in Colombo and were glad in many ways to have booked into Glenn's place.
Sadly I received news that my father was extremely ill and not expected to last long, so had to cut short our trip and return home.
However the time we spent at Glenn's place couldn't have been better.
Advice on a driver, places to visit for a drink, food and other stuff was first class. We had a great chat and struck a chord with him. 
Glenn's wife also ordered is a take away o  the second night, which was delicious, as was the breakfast they served. 
Cannot think of any downsides to the accommodation,  you can book with confidence!

As I needed to book a flight home, Glenn, helped with lending me his laptop and using his phone to ring Qatar Airlines in Doha to arrange flights.  No extra charge for staying most of the day before heading to the airport. 
Sri Lanka was experiencing problems at the time, which have got worse now. I pray that the country begins to recover and grow out of the  political and economic situation they are in. I will return as soon as I can to complete what I had to cancel.

A gem o a place with the best hosts!

There’s a very good reason that this is one of the few and truly rated 5 star B&B in Colombo .The house itself is beautiful offering plenty of character and history , tucked away on a private quiet road yet close to all amenities . This in itself would have been sufficient for us , however Glenn , Fiona and Sita made this even better through their wonderful hospitality . Glenn is a kind soul. He is always social and incredibly helpful with a great wealth of local knowledge. To mention a few things, Glenn assisted  us in booking airport pickup , recommended places in Colombo , advised us on our itinerary and lastly got us a last minute taxi to Kandy ! Sita’s cooking was exceptional and gave us a good taste of authentic Sri Lankan food . The rooms are spacious , clean and well equipped. Our stay was a true reflection of the generosity and hospitality of Sri Lankan people all over the island. I would highly recommend everyone to spend a couple of nights here and guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Thank you once again for making our a stay a memorable one and a great start to our Sri Lankan adventure .

True to its name , 5 stars and more

We had a lovely stay here. Such a beautiful home in Colombo but so tranquil. Our host, Glenn was so informative and suggested things for us to do and see. The food here is also amazing. If you ever visit Colombo this place is a must to stay in. Great transport links to the whole city

Tranquillity in Colombo

When I reached that place I felt like most welcome gest, i flet like reaching temple of calmness and pace. Unbelievably kind hosts... I truly recommend this place if you want to hide in oasis of relax after busy day in Colombo or after your arrival from hidden corners of the globe :0)

It is a bit cast away but only in positive sense... you can easily get to nearby restaurants (I tried “Pho Vietnam” - Havelock Road, 62 Havelock Rd, Colombo 00500, Sri Lanka and that was quite good)
Neighborhood is very safe so you can easily walk there as well in the middle of night 

If you do not want to walk you can always take Uber cheap, reliable and easily accessible in Colombo (they have even Uber tuktuk)

At the airport buy 30GB SIM card  for 11USD and enjoy your independence 

If you want to book transport in advance call or WhatsApp Costa +94 71 731 0733
He is great driver, competitive price comparing to taxi and you can enjoy high level conversation regarding current economic and political affairs in Srilanka and in the AsiaPac region ;0)

So great start of holidays, take off or land only with “27” Spathodea :0)

Awesome ambience and atmosphere

I can’t recommend this place enough!! It’s beautiful, stylish, clean and the owners are the kindest and most welcoming people! The place is a true travelers oasis and we can’t wait to hopefully stay with them again in the future!

The Best Stay Ever

When I visited Lotus Colombo last year i was very fascinated with the unique setting of the hotel. It was well designed and was well furnished  for anyone that wants a friendly get away. The rooms are fully equipped with all the facilities  and the price is very reasonable compared to other resorts.  
It's location is so convenient for anyone who wants to travel around the City of Colombo or any other  location. 
The beauty of the heart of Colombo can be simply captured at night. It's once again Central to local restaurants and shopping areas. With a friendly staff with a simple selection of bed and breakfast this is ideal for anyone who's om vacation in Sri Lanka.  I would highly recommend Lotus Colombo since my experience was simply  fascinating. Waiting for the next summer to have a memorable experience.

A marvelous experience

This is now my ‘go to’ place to stay in Colombo.
Hosts Glenn and Fiona are very hospitable and the welcome began before I arrived.
Glenn organised a taxi for me from the airport, ideal for a late night arrival without the trouble of negotiating one at the airport.
The house is perfectly clean, the bedroom comfortable and air conditioned.
Breakfast was just the way I like it, Sri Lankan style and plenty of it. Fruit, buffalo curd, Roti, jam and scrambled eggs Seeta style.
They were very helpful suggesting restaurants and places to go that I hadn’t seen on my many trips to Colombo.
The property is in a quiet street not far from the centre of town.
Do yourself a favour and try this establishment.
