Lovely small hotel where the rooms are amazingly huge. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Take time to look round Colombo as it’s a great city and very safe.
Good food for breakfast. Would recommend.
The Villa Raha is a huge 3-storey family villa converted into a B&B. The family does not actually live on site but staff are on hand 24 hours. What distinguishes this from other small guest-houses? It is located in a quiet side-street off a main road (Duplication Rd and the parallel Galle Rd that leads direct to the 5-star hotel area - a 10 minute ride by tuk-tuk/taxi). Convenient to town, it has about 6 to 8 rooms. It is newly renovated with an eye on exquisite and tasteful interior design and artwork throughout. The rooms are simply huge, with a lounge, a writing desk and excellent wifi, in addition to Apple TV, lots of channels, huge screen, etc. Huge bed, fresh linen. The bathroom is very spacious with quality shower-fittings and lots of hot water. The breakfast area is delightful (especially the huge banyan tree that is growing in the middle of it!). Amazingly there is also a swimming pool to cool off! Best of all is the very helpful and friendly youthful owner and his staff. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed. Would stay there again.
L'hôtel est un peu excentré du centre-ville. La chambre est d'une bonne superficie et la décoration est soignée. Le personnel est souriant et agréable. La chambre est bien équipée: fer et table à repasser, grande tv avec Apple TV et Netflix (us), connexion internet stable et performante.
