Sousa Residence

The place is located about a 30-minute walk to the port, 1 min to the supermarket, and 1 min to the main road. The room is very spacious as is the bathroom. There is a separate entrance to the building (owners live downstairs). There is air conditioning, a fan, a hairdryer, a washing machine, desk to work at as well. The bed was very comfortable and very big. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there.

The room is quite dark, however, if you are out during the day, this is not an issue.

La família que ens va acollir va ser encantadora i ens va atendre amb tot el que necessitàvem. Va ser una estància comòda, tant de bo haver-nos quedat més. La dutxa és tancada. L’habitació és ample i té armari. Tot està net. L’entrada a la casa enganya. Ubicació a uns 30-40min del centre caminant, pero amb tuk-tuk un moment

L’únic dolent és que hi havia soroll per la nit del carrer, però bé, era dissabte nit i es va acabar aviat.

Lo que más me gustó fue la ubicación ya que está bastante céntrico.

Bastante viejo, moho en el cuarto de baño.

"The room was immaculate, and the serene atmosphere made me love it even more."

"The wash basin had a gentle water flow, and the tap may need minor maintenance for smoother use."

깔끔한 숙소 내부. 적절한 숙소 위치.

스리랑카 2개월 체류하면서 가장 불만족한 숙소. 매우 불친절한 관리자. 모기 방지 전혀 불가능. 수압이 지나치게 약하며 어메니티 제공 없음. 조명 어두움. 저렴한 숙소가 아니지만 현금 결제만 가능함. 낮은 가성비. 재방문 의사 없음.

Проживание в одном доме с хозяевами, в отдельной комнате. Все чисто, тихо, уютно. В центре Коломбо. Цена соответствует качеству. Семья дружелюбная. В комнате есть чайник, вода и все необходимое.

Doskonała lokalizacja , obok duży market , bary , restauracje, kawiarnie. W pokoju czyściutko , bardzo wygodne łóżko , mocna klimatyzacja , w łazience pralka . Przesympatyczna właścicielka . Oddzielne wejście . Filtrowana woda w pokoju w dzień przyjazdu .

Łazienka , grzyb i odpadający tynk , średnio działający kran oraz ciężko działający zamek do drzwi do pokoju Stary budynek , średnio wyglądający z zewnątrz . W środku jest jednak klimacik utrzymany przez sympatycznych właścicieli

A clean and comfortable room with everything I needed. The host was very kind and welcoming — they even let me use the washing machine, which was very helpful. I had a great stay and would love to come back again! The location was great.

There was an issue with the bathroom tap — the water flow was extremely weak, almost not coming out at all. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

Very good place to stay in Bambalapitiya..around 500meter to the beach and railway station..it is a very good place to watch the costal railways of colombo..and the host Dr Souza was very friendly and helpful..i recommend this stay

Amazing property, the room was so lovely and the bathroom was amazing. Great location also and great hosts!! Would 100% recommend to anyone in Colombo

We enjoyed the stay from the beginning with friendly owners ready to help and a nice room with all the necessary attributes: cozy lighting, comfy bed, working place, fast 50Mbit wifi, kettle, air conditioner and a great spacious shower room with hot water. There were also a hair drier and a modern washing machine. Location was also good, close to cafees restaurants, and touristic attractions. And on the top of that the price was great.

There were no soap/shampoo in the bathroom.

Very spacious room in a great location! The hosts are lovely and always happy to chat.

The room and the bathroom are spacious and clean. The guesthouse is located in a strategic position, close to marine drive and the main historical sites. I really enjoyed talking to the host family

The location is calm and quite . Highly recommended .

Nothing

Great location with everything you need nearby walking distance (grocery shops, restaurants, coffee shops), or a short tuktuk ride away from downtown core. Room was extremely spacious, and provided enough space for all of our belongings and even had a kettle and cutlery. Everything was clean and comfortable, we would definitely stay here again when we are back in Colombo.

The room was well-equipped with a kettle, dishes, a hairdryer, air conditioning, and even a washing machine. However, there was no shower gel or shampoo provided - just a bar of soap.

It took me some time to figure out which gate to use to enter, as there was no sign. It turned out I just needed to push open the large metal gates. The shower water was moderately warm, and at times even cold, which was a bit inconvenient.

It’s a great place to live

A great house with lovely family

**NEVER BOOK TO STAY HERE** When I arrived at the location at 8pm, the gates were locked, no entry and when I called the host he wasn’t sure of the booking. Said he’ll check and call. He didn’t. When I called back he said he was locating the person to open. After 10 minutes I called again, he said he’ll call back in 5 minutes. After 10 minutes no call from him. When I called he kept disconnecting my calls. Then stopped answering my calls. Was left standing on the road at night with my luggage, no where to go. Had to then get a cab and find another place for the night. Terrible experience. Should not be listed.

The host and the whole experience

The room is very big and comfortable. Overall the place is beautiful, the house looks very vintage with old books and amazing furniture, spiral ladder. Also the nicest cat lives there ☺️ and they have wonderful garden The owners are really friendly and caring. Our room also had washing machine and coffee machine, plates, cups, kettle It's like home.

A Large room with air-conditioner

Low pressure of tap water and shower

The facilities match the description, the owner speaks English very well and the whole family was really kind and helping throughout our whole stay. I recommend this accommodation to anyone who wishes to stay near town center but enjoy it in peace and quiet.

The accommodation provided a sense of familiarity and comfort, allowing easy access to our desired locations within a convenient walking distance. The spacious and comfortable living space offered a sense of freedom and relaxation. It was worth every penny.
