    Charged 25k for 3hr wedding photoshoot but when reaching there saw 4 more couples doing the same. What is the point of booking the reservation if you have to wait in line just to take a photo at a spot. Unprofessional behavior

    You will be blown away by this boutique stay. Everything from the personable staff to the specific hand picked decorative items in each room, the place is lovely all around. The pool and steam room was a very pleasant surprise and much needed after long travels. You will not be disappointed by this beautiful place.

    Amazing place to stay at in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Boutique hotel well designed and decorated, the staff very friendly, and reasonable price. My room was so beautiful, wish I could stay longer. One of the best places I stayed in while traveling around the world.

    A beautiful and Well maintained property. Friendly staff. Specially designed for photo shoots and videos. Loved the interior design and the art was incredible throughout this small property. Their main attraction point is its great authentic design and the ambience. Furniture and ornaments arrangements look very compact. Once you start taking photos, you will realize that it isn't a problem anymore.

    It's not everyday I give a five star rating, but when I do, it has to be spectacular and 55TG is nothing short of that. This location is so unique and has its own style. Antiques, art pieces, furniture, colours, and the overall layout makes for an ambience which is hard to describe. The owner too is fantastic and extremely helpful and his team is even better. So attentive to our needs and so responsive.

    I visited this boutique hotel for a photo shoot and was pleasantly surprised by its uniqueness. Each section of the property has a distinct interior, with a combination of antique pieces that come together to create a beautiful mesh of creative and inspiring aesthetics. Despite its small size, the hotel has been skillfully designed to create a lovely space. It's hidden away in a residential part of the city, making it a great value for anyone looking for a unique photo shoot location. The hotel has three rooms available for both overnight stays and photo shoots: the Deluxe Room, Angel's Suite, and Art Suite. Each room has its own price range, with the Deluxe Room being the most affordable and the Art Suite being the most expensive. They offer several packages for photo shoots, including location only, Deluxe Room + Location, Angel's Suite + Location, and Art Suite + Location. Additionally, they offer an overnight stay package with a photo shoot. The photo shoot is limited to 3 hours, and only 8 people are allowed, including the photographer. Additional persons will be charged Rs. 1,500 each at the property.

    We had our wedding shoot there. Cool place to take photos for your weddings and indoor shoots. A small and nice place. Allowed to part only 2 vehicles at once. Only 8 people can be there for a shoot. Recommended!

    Well we booked 3 rooms for my sisters wedding because the morning photoshoot was here. I agree this place is a good place to take photos, we did a separate photoshoot with our friend and it came out pretty cute. But to stay the night, absolutely not. For the price they offer for a room, you can stay in a 5 star hotel in Kolpity for a little bit more. So we got the art suite, angel suite and poet room. The poet room, hardly anyone can stay because of the smell. It was terrible. Me and my Husband stayed in the angel suite and from around 3am, there was nonstop noises of dogs barking and some lorries unpacking so we hardly could sleep. The art suite, since the bride had to wake up at 2 am anyway, no way of knowing whats what. Anyway is it a good place to take photos? Well yes, although it is a bit overrated in my opinion. Is it a good place to stay the night? Hell no. Not worth the money.

    We've spent two weeks in Sri Lanka changing our hotels pretty much daily. This one was the most memorable. Our room was rather small, but the shared hotel space made up for it in times, well designeed it encourages communication between guests. Lots of art and relics lying around. Dilshan offered great help in all our endeavours. P.S. free tip - check out thai heritage truck restaurant not too far away

    I had a terrible experience at this photo location.the staff refused to allow any adjustments / suit change or touch-ups to be made inside the premises unless we pay extra ( the . This resulted in a series of unattractive photos. The lack of flexibility and willingness to accommodate customer needs was extremely disappointing. again i was extremely disappointed and would not recommend this photo location to anyone in search of high-quality, professional photos. The staff's rigid adherence to their outdated policies and lack of concern for customer satisfaction is unacceptable in today's world where customer service is a top priority for most businesses. If you're looking for a photo location that values your needs and provides exceptional service, I would advise you to look elsewhere. AS YOU CAN SEE FINALLY THEY SAID GO OUTSIDE AND CHANGE.... AS A MAN ITS KINDA OK BUT FOR A WOMEN IS IT OK?

    Best place for a photoshoot.... I have done many shoots here and some really nice images I got... the location is amazinggggggg... very happy how everything turned out to be.... The rooms were a little small I felt... it should have been a little bigger...or the bed should have been smaller... or maybe the cupboards...

    We stayed with my husband in 55TG and we loved it ! The level of service was on high level and the great help and support of Dilshan was much appreciated! The breakfast is delicious, the hotel itself looks like the piece of art! Highly recommend this hotel 💫

  • 5/5 Keet Malin S. 2 years ago on Google
    very beautiful place with great service.. we went there for a preshoot session...the rooms/washrooms were nice with beautiful ornaments.. the location is a bit smaller than we expected, but it has many photo locations inside and ideal for a preshoot session... The contact person Thanuj, didn't explain the package details much, but if you book their location, you can check into the room early (make sure you book a room with the location), and the 3 hour time is applied only for the photography. So check in early for the preparations and start the photoshoot later. They allow card payments too. The rooms are well air conditioned with extra fans. We booked the gallery room and it was enough. For styling requirements, I would suggest to carry an extra light to that room... There is enough parking for 4 vehicles inside, but you can also park on the road outside. Safe and quiet neighborhood and this place is indeed a hidden gem in the busy colombo city limits.

    Its a very lovely place to have small functions and photoshoots. Place is well decorated with different types of antiques and modern arts. Food they serve is delicious and tastes homemade. The owner is really concerned about providing a good service to all visitors and you'll meet a friendly bunch of staff there. Hope go there again 👍🏻

  • 5/5 Jason E. 2 years ago on Google
    55TG is located at the heart of Colombo. Situated a peaceful residential area, it certainly is a wonderful place. Certain days are crowded with wedding couples and it could get in the way if you’re staying a night or two to unwind. Prices are fair and the service rendered by the workers are genuine. Definitely would recommend this place, either for shoots or overnight layover.

    A truely unique boutique hotel which has a different interior for each section of the property. Each space has a combination of unique antique pieces which gel together to create a beautiful mesh of creative inspiring aestethics. It is hidden away in a residential part of the city and is truly value for money if ypu are seeking a design inspired venue to stay in! Have a small pool and there is a kitchen and menu available for food to be ordered.

  • 5/5 Amanda A. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there for a photoshoot and the location was booked suddenly without a plan. But we were so happy and the shoot went out very well. Designing, architecture, ambiance and every little detail is pretty and elegant at 55TG. It's worth spending your money on a shoot at this location.
