Havelock Place Bungalow

We had a wonderful stay at Havelock Place Bungalow. It was so nice coming back to this quiet little sanctuary after a busy day in the city. We made use of the nice pool. The room we were in was comfortable and we were really happy with the whole place. We got amazing service from Farsi and the team who were all so friendly and welcoming. We ate at Gini one night and it was the best meal we had in Colombo.

Charming small hotel in middle of Colombo. Super clean, great pool, excellent staff, and charming room! I think some of the old reviews on here were pre renovation.

Boutique hotel that is very clean and pleasant. The rooms are a bit odd as it's not a proper hotel but it's charming. The outdoor bathroom was really cool but the room a bit small. Nice pleasant breakfast at the restaurant area which I recommend for dinner (fine dining fusion). For the price we paid, no complaint.

We rented the entire Havelock Place Bungalow for our family and group of friends, and it truly felt like a home ❤️ The rooms and the bathrooms were of a high standard, and the AC worked perfectly. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They even prepared a special breakfast upon request (for an additional charge), which we really appreciated. The property also features a fantastic pool. Its location is ideal, situated near Keells supermarket and the Havelock City Mall, which offers a convenient food court. Highly recommend this lovely place for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

We went for dinner here with friends. The.menu was refreshing considering most places have menus like books. The food is not bad at all however could be better. Found the beef cheek to be over powering with the curry powder. Service was excellent. Perhaps will go back on my next visit.

We stayed at Havelock place Bungalow for the first night we arrived in srilanka. It's a bit far from the city centre but that's what makes it a cozy and go-to place if you are someone who prefers some time off from the city hustle. However the place is very accessible through tuktuks. Places like galle face green and port city being just 10 mins away, this place makes the best compromise between city noise and seclusion. The hotel is more of a boutique art infused into modern architecture with a must-try menu from their in house restaurant Gini. Also a big shout out to the staff, very delighted to see the welcoming smiles on their faces after a long flight

Ein kleines aber sehr charmantes Gästehaus mit wenigen Zimmern im Kolonialstil. Die Zimmer sind liebevoll eingerichtet und der Pool lädt zur Abkühlung ein. Das Sri Lankische Frühstück war sehr lecker und alle Mitarbeiter äußerst höflich, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Einzige ist, dass die Unterkunft abseits vom touristischen Bereich Colombos ist. Das bringt einem direkt das lokale Leben nahe kann aber nach einer langen Anreise etwas überfordernd wirken. Alles in allem ist es aber eine tolle Unterkunft zu einem vernünftigen Preis.

This bungalow in Colombo truly felt like home. It’s the perfect place for anyone looking for a peaceful, calming vibe. The atmosphere is very cozy, especially when there’s light rain—it adds to the charm. We highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay

Posto fuori dal centro città, raggiungibile in tuk tuk, molto carino in stile coloniale. Avevamo letto delle recensioni che evidenziavano muffa ma la camera dataci era perfetta. Hall splendida dove abbiamo passato un'ora aspettando la macchina per andare in aeroporto. Segnalo il ristorante Dolce Italia vicino per cenare.

Nous avons séjourné deux nuits dans cet hôtel et avons été ravis de notre expérience. L’accueil était parfait, avec un personnel chaleureux et très attentif. Nous n’avons pris que le petit-déjeuner, mais c’était un véritable régal : copieux, varié et avec des produits de qualité. L’hôtel, bien qu’ancien, est plein de charme et offre un cadre calme, idéal pour se détendre. Un séjour court mais très agréable, que nous recommanderions sans hésiter !

Chambre spacieuse avec bonne literie. Bien placé au calme. Le restaurant : Prix élevés pour la quantité. Le petit déjeuner n’a aucun intérêt. Pas de jus, thé ou café proposé.

Always love visiting this place. Lovely food, great ambiance and lovely staff. Quite crowds, and has great outdoor seating. Food is quite unique and gives the place some identity. They have a gnocchi dish which is super nice and also used to have a mutton roll which I enjoyed. Been coming here for ages and they have managed to keep the place authentic to their style to date.

The worst hotel we had so in Sri Lanka. The first room we were given was extremly moldy- the wall was fluffy! How can you expect anyone to sleep there? The second room was nicer but we were not able to sleep due to the hard mattress and the noise from the AC in the room and the noises from 3 different ACs on the terrace. Also the AC had only a "full blast" option which was loud and we were freezing. The lights from outside the room were on all night and were shining through a window over the door. The hotel is not reacting to questions or messages at all. Actually we wanted to check in very early (4am) and even booked the night before but we never got an answer if that is possible. When our flight got canceled, we were writing a message again that we are checking in at 2pm but no answer as well. When we arrived they stated as at Booking as "no-show". Would not stay there again!

Superbe lieu ! Les chambres sont spacieuses et confortables, propres et au calme. Nous avions une belle petite terrasse très agréable. Surtout, le service est juste top ! L’accueil de Sajith était parfait, tout le monde était au petits soins et chacun a vraiment le sens du service ! Vous pouvez leur faire confiance sur les recommandations : besoin d’un driver ou d’un tuktuk, demandez leur ils se feront un plaisir de vous aider. Le restaurant est juste délicieux ! Une cuisine raffinée et très bien maîtrisée, des produits d’ici aux saveurs sri lankaises avec un twist européen, juste délicieux ! Petit ++ nous avions oublié nos vestes en début de séjour, ils nous les ont gentiment gardées jusqu’à notre retour à Colombo.

Worst hotel experience ever! Für unseren letzten Stop auf unserer Reise durch Sri Lanka haben wir uns für Havelock Place entschieden, da die Bilder wirklich einladend aussahen und auch die Bewertungen gut waren. Dort angekommen, wurde uns jedoch ein Zimmer angeboten, welches komplett schimmelig war! Direkt beim reinkommen hat man das auch schon stark gerochen - dort zu schlafen, wäre vermutlich absolut gesundheitsschädlich für uns gewesen. Da das Zimmer draußen in einem kleinen Bungalow war und alle anderen Zimmer drin, entschieden wir uns, nett zu fragen, ob wir möglicherweise ein anderes Zimmer haben können. Uns wurde mitgeteilt, dass noch ein anderes Zimmer (welches besser wirkte) frei sei und dieses nur noch gereinigt werden müsste, wir dieses aber gegen einen Aufpreis haben könnten. So entschieden wir uns zu warten und fragten außerdem, ob wir aufgrund unserer Flugzeit noch eine weitere Nacht dranhängen können. Uns wurde gesagt, dass das nur über Booking möglich sei. Bevor er weiteres veranlassen konnte für uns, blieb der Herr in der Unterkunft tatsächlich solange neben uns stehen, bis wir die Buchung über Booking abgeschlossen haben. Kurze Zeit später teilte er uns mit, dass es nun doch nicht mehr möglich sei, das andere Zimmer zu bekommen und wir im schimmeligen Zimmer bleiben müssten. Auch eine Stornierung der Buchung (zumindest für die 5min zuvor getätigte Buchung für die 2. Nacht) hat die Unterkunft abgelehnt - alles in allem wirklich unfreundlich und frech, dass wir da so abgezockt wurden. Da wir nicht umgeben von Schimmel schlafen wollten, haben wir die Unterkunft verlassen uns für unsere beiden letzten Nächte ein ordentliches Hotel gebucht. Sehr schade, aber sowohl der Schimmel als auch das Verhalten gehen überhaupt gar nicht!

Gini is one of the best dinning places I've been to. They have quite a unique set of dishes to tantalize your taste buds prepared using natural charcoal.

Very quiet and peaceful place. We had a very good moment in this style colonial house. The food is very good and for the most hand-made. The sorbets are delicious and my favorite meal remains the granola (I should have asked for the recipe).

Fantastic spot. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are nice and clean with beautiful furniture. Also the food at the restaurant is great. We had a tasty lunch and breakfast. All the food was well prepared with great flavors.

Its a nice small heritage property with a pool. Everything was clean so we had a comfortable stay.

I went here on a friend's suggestion, couldn't believe that I was still in Colombo after we got settled inside. They got a host of drinks on the menu, both alcoholic and not. If you're looking for a chilled out afternoon on a hot day, this is the place. The greenery is such a welcome site in the concrete jungle Colombo has become. Parking could be a problem, you have to park on the road outside. A must visit place for anyone who loves to chill outdoors.
