cockroach visitors

limited breakfast

The deluxe king room features high ceilings and a comfy super king four-poster bed, creating a luxurious feel. The large bathroom even includes a jacuzzi, perfect for some post-adventure relaxation.

The shower's open design led to an unwelcome visit from cockroaches at night, which wasn't ideal. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the sofa left much to be desired, as it was dusty and covered in hair upon arrival. the breakfast options were limited, featuring only two set choices that didn't cater to all preferences.

lovely terrace

unclean sofa

Ellen's Place felt like a hidden gem in Colombo. The rooms were spacious and charming, with ample natural light that created a warm ambiance. The roof terrace was a lovely spot to unwind, and the swimming pool offered a refreshing break from the heat. Staff members, especially Sudharshan, went above and beyond to assist with our inquiries. we encountered a few issues. The sofa in our room was unclean upon arrival, covered in hair. on one occasion, our room wasn't cleaned despite pressing the designated button. Addressing these maintenance issues would elevate the experience tremendously.

This place was a great fit for a flash stay in Colombo with very good value for money. The staff prepared delicious buffalo curd for breakfast that was a nice surprise and a personal favorite. Make sure to try the local food for a true taste of the area.
