Great for a convenient, not-too-touristy stay upon arriving in Colombo. The hotel is hidden and quiet and the staff is extremely hospitable. Rooftop views for the restaurant are the highlight.

I’d highly recommend this place! It’s an unassuming spot but the rooftop has an absolutely spectacular view with an incredible restaurant. I had the best seafood pasta I’ve ever had there; each meal was truly amazing. The staff are so, so kind and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, spacious, and had everything I needed. I only spent a night here but I wish I had stayed longer simply because I enjoyed this hotel so much.

Nice base for our first 2 nights in Sri Lanka. There was a bit of confusion about our booking when we checked in but quickly sorted out. The hotel is very clean and quite modern. A good location close to the cinnamon gardens area, the national museum and viharamedevi park.

Incredible place to stay whilst in Colombo!

Wow wow wow, what an amazing place to stay. We started our journey at the Den for our trip around Sri Lanka and the location, facilities and in particular Felix the hotel manager gave us the warmest most beautiful welcome we have ever received. Thanks again, could not recommend enough!
