Ja-Ela Hotels

This boutique hotel exceeded my expectations. The rooms are very welcoming, beautifully decorated, nice sitting at work area, great bed and wonderful shower. The outdoor sitting areas are wonderful.. it’s like being in your own oasis. breakfast was delightful thank you Jennis and Aastha and staff for a marvelous 5 day stay.

this was a perfect boutique hotel. staff was helpful, room was very good and the restaurant had amazing food. there is only one issue that I had with the room - there were not enough sockets in the wall for a computer, phone, etc. the staff did bring an extra electrical strip but the connections were not tight enough and worked on and off. since there are only 10 rooms the staff gave a lot of personal attention

Friendly staff ... good location ... does not surprise me that this hotel has hosted kings and queens during the last 150 years. I got good service from Shayna at the restaurant there ... nice breakfast buffet.

Nice spot close to the airport

We were checked in by Inshara, a bonnie lass indeed, she explained the facilities and where everything was. Everything thing in our room worked, the room was serviced daily, no complaints from us. I recommend this hotel for its laid back relaxed comfort.

My stay was amazing! Every one so friendly and alway a smile

Very comfortable and centrally located hotel It was very clean and beds very comfortable I would love to return to this hotel

Ocean front, close to Bandaranaike international airport, spacious rooms, service with a smile, good food, minimalistic design of building and interior decor.

Great room with beach view. The floor could have used better cleaning though.

Close to beach. Great breakfast buffet. I arrived after a 22 hour flight and 30 hours in transit at 1am. The staff immediately welcomed me despite the late hour. Very warm friendly intimate feel despite being a large hotel.

It’s very clean and good hospitality.

This was a great stay, we came in late after a long flight and just wanted a place to crash for the night before heading south. It was quiet, clean and cool: we had AC and bed was comfy: a private shower/bathroom. My host was lovely and got up early to make us HUGE breakfast before we caught the train in Colombo. He arranged our (reasonably priced) taxi to the station and gave us free fresh bananas from his yard for the ride. 10/10 for the quick stay. Thanks again

An ideal budget, yet pleasingly and surprisingly comfortable place to be based in order to explore, relax and simply chill out by the sea. The rooms are large and simply but adequately furnished. The bed is large, there is an efficient ceiling fan and an A/C. The ensuite bathroom has a large wet room and powerful shower. The sea facing rooms have large balconies and the view is stunning especially at sunset. They look over the pool and garden, beach and sea. Its an ideal place to have drinks...
