Das Verwalterpäärchen ist sehr nett und bemüht, einem den Aufenthalt angenehm zu gestalten. Es wohnt im Erdgeschoss des 2stöckigen Hauses.

Wir hatten das 88 qm -Loft im 2. Stock, wovon das Schlafzimmer abschließbar ist. Der Preis ist eine Frechheit, das Haus liegt nicht schön, Müll vor dem Haus links und rechts, wir wurden ebenfalls gewarnt, abends nicht zu Fuß herumzulaufen, da es zu Überfällen in der Ecke kommt. Die 12 km ins Zentrum von Colombo können in Stoßzeiten sehr lang werden mit Taxi oder Tuktuk. Der Zug brauchte über 1 Stunde. Egal wieviel Architekturspass man an Geoffrey Bawa oder den Einrichtungsgegenständen der Paradiseroad aufbringt, das Haus hat schon deutlich bessere Zeiten gesehen und es gibt für das Geld bessere Hotels in Colombo. Wer aber mieten will sollte in jedem Fall Moskitoabwehr fürs Bad mitbringen, da es offen ist zum Innenhof.

The place was beautiful and the couple who host the guest were so kind. They made us feel like family. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was amazing.

Home cooked breakfasts were amazing

We have stayed in Mount Lodge several times and we always love to come back. Mount Lavinia is the best location for a stay in Colombo. It is close enough to the centre, it does not have air pollution, It is a bit cooler and you can have a swim. Mount Lodge feels like home to us since we do not like big hotels. Having our coffee in the patio under the mango tree served by our dear Gamini is a pleasure that without it, a vacation in Sri Lanka would be incomplete.

I cannot think of anything to complain about.

A lovely warm welcome on our 1st night in Sri Lanka. We only stayed 1 night - but a great nights sleep and breakfast was delicious. The larger Mount Lavinia hotel is worth visiting - but you can access their facilities as a day guest - and Mount Lodge is better value for money.

Journey from the airport takes a little while due to heavy traffic around Colombo. However, if heading South it's a really good spot to stay for a couple of nights and recover from a long haul flight.
