The Den 23 is a perfect place to stay. The owner is very helpful and goes into detail when explaining and recommending places to visit. He also provides you with a leftlet that has some basic sinhala words. The roof top bar has an amazing view of the city. The staff is helpful and I'll recommend this place if you want to go around Colombo with little effort.

Hotel located in 10 minutes from the park and some Colombo tourist interest places. Owner gives some travel tips. It was ideal that he gave me late checkout option instead of just to store luggage till the evening. The room itself is good to stay for 1-2 days. There is terrace on the top.

The service was really good and it was a great deal. I didn't have enough cash to take the tuk-tuk to the airport, but the staff at the accommodation paid for it, and I was able to get to the airport safely.

It was relatively close to the airport and I arrived at night, so I stayed here before meeting up with a friend. It was clean and perfect.

It was definitely clean and the service was good, and the staff were all friendly, so it was very good. I think I will use it again next time I come to Colombo.
