Beautiful property with a lovely view of the ocean from the rooftop - all the staff were welcoming and went out of their way to be kind and helpful! Rooms had AC and were nice and cold and they have a good location on a more private road, very close to places you can buy SIM cards if at the start of your stay 😌😌

At IGN Residence Colombo, my travelled needs were exceeded beyond expectation. It is a beautiful colonial-style building. Usually the most important quality for me as a single, woman traveler, is the safety of the accommodation and the immediate vicinity. Secondly I look for exceptional service. Relaxation means not having to do what is expected of me at home. Handcrafted furnishings and choice appointments complemented the discrete aura of these private lodgings. Seeing brand new furniture and towels was a pleasant surprise. In the kitchen, there was also fresh Italian coffee. Located on the central avenue of the city, the house is close to a shopping center, pharmacies, restaurants, and art galleries. It is possible to walk to all necessary places. I found walking along the avenue to be very convenient.

Amazing! I am sorry we just stayed one night (before our flight) but this BB is simply amazing. Its owned by this cute family, always smiling, always helpful. We were a large group and all were overly content. It was clean, quiet and very modern. Breakfast were simply amazing! They make all your breakfast dreams come true (we were a group with a baby and also eldery couple). So would recommend 110%!
