We started our month-long trip to Sri Lanka with 5 relaxing days in this comfortable apartment and also returned for our final 4 days. It is well located next to the Cinnamon Grand Hotel and with views across Galle Face and the ocean. It is within easy travelling distance of key tourist sites.
The apartment is clean and spacious with a small but well-equipped kitchen, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, one ensuite. The principal bedroom is very light and has great views. There is good air-conditioning throughout which was very welcome as we were there at a very humid period. There is a good TV package and reliable wifi. The apartment block has a large pool at a good temperature for swimming and a reasonably well-equipped gym.
The building and the area feel very safe and secure. On our first day we were met by Ranie who showed us how everything worked and was also kind enough to walk us to the nearest (very good) shopping mall and supermarket, a few minutes away. The mall also had a choice of restaurants, providing a choice of takeaway opportunities. Also a very reasonably- priced walk-in massage centre whose head and foot massage I can highIy recommend. I also used the spa next door to the complex which offered an excellent variety of full body massages.
We didn't truly appreciate just how comfortable this apartment was until returning from our travels around the country. It was a huge relief to return to its cool, clean comforts! Annick, the co-owner, was very easy to deal with and always very prompt and helpful in her responses to questions.
Should we return to Colombo we would definitely return to this apartment. Highly recommended!
