Find hotels in Dehiwala City

We were welcomed by the host in extremely warm fashion. She overheard "honeymoon" when I called to say it was a "second honeymoon" ( meaning anniversary travelling without children) so she bought us a greeting card and decorated our room with red balloons for celebration and surpirise - which was so sweet. Next morning she prepared breakfast fruits, eggs, toast butter jam and coffee - and all complimentary as I had not requested for breakfast during the booking. She even carried my wife's bag down the stairs. The wealth of info she gave us on visits in Colombo. I would not hesitate to recommend this place. Oh if you take the train from Colombo fort , drop off at Dehiwala station( 10 Rupees!!) and walk about 800m or take the 50Rp TukTuk if you have baggage. The trainstation is also convenient for travel into Colombo and catching intercity trains at Colombo Fort Main Station

I had an unhappy stay. The property was advertised a serviced apartment with "full apartment". However, during the entire duration, no service was provided. In addition, out of the three rooms, one room's air conditioning was not working, and the other room's lights were not working. The promised internet was not available, and the TV was not working. There was no cutlery or even a cutting knife in the kitchen, and very limited crockery. The rooms were very small to the extent if the bathroom door was open, you couldn't move around the bed. When contacted about the condition of amenities, the owner promised to attend to it the next day, but nobody ever showed up.
