Breeze of Paradise is the only place I stay at when visiting the Colombo area of Sri Lanka. It's a nice, quiet, safe and comfortable place. Kala & Suresh are lovely hosts and very welcoming and this too is another reason why I come back. I've stayed in other hotels in the past but they're nothing like this. Definitely give this place a look!

Fantastic 3 night stay. Helpful and friendly family run property not far from the city. We chose to walk which is quite a way but everything is accessible by tuk tuk and the daughter (sorry I don't know her name!) gave us some great bar/cafe recommendations. Room was clean with fan and air con and whilst we didn't eat at the property the smells from the kitchen were all good!!! Thank you...

Everything about this hotel was fantastic!
Staff and service was excellent. Staff were attentive and anticipated our needs without being intrusive.
Facilities were of a high standard and included everything we needed. The outdoor pool was exceptionally enjoyable.
WiFi was excellent - both in the room and at the pool.
It’s worth booking a club Horizon room as the lounge is worth every penny.

An excellent choice for the last day and night of a two week trip in Sri Lanka.
Got to the hotel hours before the check in time, and was given a room straight away.
There are multiple restaurants to choose from for dinner. Dinner at Ocean was fab!
Cocktails at the roof top bar were nice. And the afternoon by the pool was chilled.
All the staff were friendly and very helpful.

Its a fantastic hotel and looking forward to stay next time.
Service staffs specially staffs at pool bar and security near lobby lift need to be much more friendly and need to talk to guest. I found that hotel staffs only do their duty no one like to talk or smile to a guest , i stayed 4 nights not even one time a breakfast staff ask me if i like tea or coffee so these things they do better,
I like mention HK team on 6th floor and gym team they are doing fantastic job , smile and they love...

We ended up here after a self designed tour of Sri Lanka. It is an excellent hotel and the service was second to none. It has wonderful gardens and as swimmers we appreciated the very impressive pool. We used two of the restaurants and found the food good. It was a great climax to our holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the facilities the hotel offered.
