    Always love visiting this place. Lovely food, great ambiance and lovely staff. Quite crowds, and has great outdoor seating. Food is quite unique and gives the place some identity. They have a gnocchi dish which is super nice and also used to have a mutton roll which I enjoyed. Been coming here for ages and they have managed to keep the place authentic to their style to date.

    Very quiet and peaceful place. We had a very good moment in this style colonial house. The food is very good and for the most hand-made. The sorbets are delicious and my favorite meal remains the granola (I should have asked for the recipe).

    Nice rooms. Do not know so much if the place is good or not. But she who owns the place is very nice and helpful. Extremely good food there.

    A fantastic and authentic guesthouse in a really handy location for Galle Face Road - great food served in house and incredibly spacious and comfortable room. It was a real treat to spend a night here and we loved ending our holiday at this hotel. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to store our bags until our taxi to the airport at 5pm. Definitely recommend a stay in these very impressive surroundings.

    Awesome place. Good food.

  • 5/5 Pulasthi P. 5 years ago on Google
    I went here on a friend's suggestion, couldn't believe that I was still in Colombo after we got settled inside. They got a host of drinks on the menu, both alcoholic and not. If you're looking for a chilled out afternoon on a hot day, this is the place. The greenery is such a welcome site in the concrete jungle Colombo has become. Parking could be a problem, you have to park on the road outside. A must visit place for anyone who loves to chill outdoors.

    (Translated by Google) The perfectly created atmosphere makes this botique hotel a bit worn out, redefined as a place of infinite life and soul. You feel like Ernest Hemmingway. You want to hear the stories that the hotel could tell. Here you really get in the zen. The perfect place to seek refuge from Colombo's two-stroke pollution and dust. Definitely a "must-see". (Original) Den perfekt skabte atmosfære, gør at dette botique-hotels umiddelbart lidt slidte ydre, redefineres som et sted med uendeligt meget liv og sjæl. Man føler sig som Ernest Hemmingway. Man ønsker at høre de historier som hotellet kunne berette. Her kommer man virkelig i zen. Det perfekte sted at søge tilflugt fra Colombos to-takt forurening og støv. Helt klart et "must-see".

    Awesome place to stay; in a quiet location but easily accessible from anywhere.

  • 5/5 Patrycja C. 7 years ago on Google
    Havelock Place Bungalow was a jackpot! Food was original and delicious with homemade ice cream that you can't simply resist! Room was spacious and stylish! The hotel is easily accessible but distant enough from the main road to remain peaceful and quite! The staff was helpful and friendly!

    A perfect place to spend your first few nights in Sri Lanka after flying in. We stayed 2 nights and loved it! The room was so comfortable and clean as was the bathroom. The little restaurant attached is delicious with breakfast included in our stay. We did organise a pick up from the airport which we couldn't find so sorted our own taxi out there (which is easy anyway) so the only thing I would say is to arrange a meeting point if you do arrange a pick up. Other then that it was perfect!

    The place is situated in the midst of the Havlock city, yet a very calm surrounding. The banglow is very calm and quiet and still has the old architecture. The breakfast was not a buffet and served as a small portion. Because it's in the town itself, having a meal from another restaurant is very easy. Even though I didn't use the pool, it was not very clean as it seemed. The staff was very friendly and proactive as well. The comfort, convinience, and the service is superb for the paid price.

    Loved my stay here. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Hanim A. 5 years ago on Google
    We had a great culinary experience at the COI restaurant inside the Havelock place bungalow. The food was as exciting and tasted as good as the previous coi. Although the taxes do leave a bit of a sour taste, we really enjoyed the food, ambiance and service here. There are a couple of vegetarian options and the menu has a few items with octopus :)

    A gem of a place. Old world charm not found in many of the modern hotels.

  • 5/5 Jorge R. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing feel of tranquillity, great location away from the busy city, two temples around the corner and an pizza place close by

    We stayed here for our last night in Colombo before flying home. We were able to store our bags after checking out, while we went shopping, and then use the pool to cool off.

    I ordered chicken salad and sri lankan beef steak. Steak was not soft. It was roasted at the edges. I ordered a welldone steak but I got a over cooked one. Probably not a good place for steaks. they have a very high price tag. place looks architectural and calm for a dinner out. No air condition is provided as all windows are open. There were few smokers in the garden so we had to breath the smoky air for a couple of minutes. Not recommended to go for a dinner out with family

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful, cozy and stylish hotel in Colombo. It has very comfortable and elegant family rooms. Good breakfast, served in a beautiful colonial dining room. A bit far from the center. (Original) Piękny, przytulny i stylowy hotel w Colombo. Dysponuje bardzo wygodnymi i eleganckimi pokojami rodzinnymi.

    A cosy spot hidden away in the busy city. It's quite central and easily accessible to the main attractions in Colombo. They have a lot of greenery which is a big plus in my books, and a very homely feeling.
