Castles in Colombo District

A little oasis in the hustle and bustle of Colombo. Everything was fantastic- the food, the room and most of all the staff who were all so warm and welcoming. We were sorry to leave.

I very rarely leave reviews but Ishq was exceptional. If you are looking for an alternative to big, chain hotels this small, intimate property is perfect. Beautiful rooms and spaces with personal service. Food exceptional. Thanks Darshana.

Very nice people, had a lovely stay! Would stay again :) breakfast was very yummy!

Located just far enough out of Colombo to be quiet, yet can easily walk to Galle Face Green if you wish. The hotel is clean and staff are great. Plenty food and beverage options at reasonable prices or try Galle Road for street food. Take the free shuttle to the beach lounge for a swim in the sea or just relax on the sea front. The roof pool is busier than the beach lounge but still always room available. High Tea was very good and the Tides buffet was super.

We stayed at the aathma at the beginning and end of our trip, the king suite with balcony first and the deluxe suite in the main building last, both rooms are of a very high standard and we throughly enjoyed our stay. An esquisite retreat in everyway, so much so that we want to live there! Samir I love you! X

Lovely clean room amazingly friendly staff it was a little oasis of calm in a busy city … A great way to start our family holiday in Sri Lanka

Everything about this hotel was fantastic! Staff and service was excellent. Staff were attentive and anticipated our needs without being intrusive. Facilities were of a high standard and included everything we needed. The outdoor pool was exceptionally enjoyable. WiFi was excellent - both in the room and at the pool. It’s worth booking a club Horizon room as the lounge is worth every penny.

Yes. Room was spotless. Staff were wonderful.

Wonderful hospitality - they could not have been more welcoming. Great little hotel - a real oasis of calm. Fantastic breakfast too.

For a mere £84 we stayed in this lovely, comfortable hotel in Colombo. The friendliest welcome with a refreshing Popsicle followed by helpful advice about getting around the city. We didn't eat dinner there as that evening was a wonderful play procession just round the corner but breakfast was delicious. We hope to return for more than one night

We had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel.The staff were so attentive and smiled continually throughout our time there.We could not have asked for more.We also ate supper in the restaurant and believe that the meal was by far the best we had whilst in Sri Lanka.If / when we return to Sri Lanka we will definitely stay there again.

Beautiful hotel, great service, very friendly staff! The pool was amazing and with a beautiful view. Hotel is fairly new so everything is still in great condition, hopefully it stays that way for years to come! Highly recommend this hotel!

Staff was very good and cooperative

Great view. Ideal location. Old furniture.

Staff was very welcoming and hospitable. Particularly The chef Don Philip, Kanchana the executive in the F&B team who went beyond their best to delight us during our long stay at the hotel. Irfan, in the room service team in 16th floor put lot of effort in keeping our apartment clean and tidy every day during our stay.

Excellent hotel, staff couldn't have been kinder and more accomodating, great location near restaurants, shops and the National Museum and Natural History museum. Overall a brilliant stay

very convenient and a safe location. all the staffs are very friendly and ready to help and polite
