A lovely refuge from the city, we stayed twice both on our arrival to Colombo and the night before flying back to the UK.

The hotel was beautiful. The old house has been well cared for and repurposed to host guests. The staff were amazing and breakfast was delightful

That my stay wasn’t longer.

We booked the Ranee suite and it was a great room - on top floor with large balcony, large room and bathroom. The decor was very nice and had charm. The bedding was very comfortable and shower was good, aircon worked well. The place was very quiet except when they are having functions, but they finished at a reasonable hour. The breakfast was nice in courtyard area with a lot of options to choose from and cooked to order which is good. The location was pretty good as it is very easy to get around by tuk tuk and we didn't want to stay where all the big hotels are. There are plenty of cafes around that are walkable from hotel. There was an open window in bathroom which really should be covered by a flyscreen but there didn't appear to be mosquitos so it was OK. The wifi worked well. We would definitely consider staying here again if in Colombo as it was in a quiet area, with an intimate feel and nice building and very comfortable room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

The hotel should provide menus in the rooms for drinks and lunch and dinner and information about laundry and other facilities/services so that one knows without needing to ask.

Beautiful building perfect little retreat, superb staff and lovely food.

Nothing everything was perfect.

cool,friendly,bit out of town but in Colombo that’s not a bad thing.Interesting people and good food.Staff we’re amazing getting us a urgent taxi to the airport when Über let us down

the room’s outside bathroom would take a bit of getting used too… a few too many mosquitoes stay the night in it so not a place to linger

Colonial mansion with excellent, stylish furnishings. Huge room with very comfortable bed. Lovely garden with pool. Quiet in a smart area of town away from the centre. Attentive staff. Lovely breakfast, and the Sri Lanka thali at lunch particularly good.

Nothing.

Georgous and peaceful though the hotel is, it is the thoughtful and effective staff who make it quite so perfect

everything, it was beautiful, with great attention to detail. the shower gel, shampoo and the condition for example smelled amazing. the breakfast was delicious

Old style Colonial. Small and relaxed atmosphere.

everything

nothing

Beautiful small jewel of a hotel Amazing staff who take pride in what they do and go out of their way to make you feel at home

Enjoyed everything

The Maniumpathy Hotel was a different experience from the usual international hotel offering. It would have been easy to forget that I was in a hotel and think that I was staying at a distant cousin's country house. I had an air-conditioned room with a four-poster bed complete with mosquito netting. The en-suite bathroom was "outdoors," which required mosquito coils to avoid bites. Otherwise, the ablution facilities were private and spacious. The free wifi never failed, but there were warnings about power outages and demonstrations during my visit. The lack of tourists in Colombo was evident at a glance in any foray downtown, and it also meant that there were few other guests for much of my stay. The meals were served either under the veranda or in the garden area. The quality of the offerings at each sitting was excellent, especially the Sri Lankan breakfast of curry and hoppers and the lunchtime thali. There is no bar, but cans of local beer were available on request.

i travel a lot and this was one of the best boutique hotel experiences that i’ve had in a very long time.

very friendly staff, and the property is very clean with great flexibility regarding any inquiries.

all was perfect.

Food was good and staff were very helpful n the ambience n decor was superb. I’ll go Bk gin

Nothing really to complain about

Excellent food including breakfast and lunches Attentive, approachable and kind staff contributing in making an excellent stay

some of the best food we ate in Colombo

Delicious breakfast and excellent service from friendly staff. Extremely good value.

Maniumpathy was faultless in every way.

Historical manor house in the quaintest and most central neighborhood of Colombo, this old Jaffna family house is very tastefully refurbished, staying true to its character while offering unparalleled comfort!! The food at the restaurant is excellent (highly recommended), do try the coconut ice cream for dessert! Best costumer service we have ever experienced. And we travel a lot!!

Absolutely nothing

Old school charm ..the real deal

Beautiful room, was huge and very nicely decorated. Roll top bath, balcony, 4 poster bed. The food was great, staff were v attentive and the pool was very nice. Wish could have stayed longer

All the meals were beautiful and delicious. The property is exquisite and the staff are extremely wonderful. I recommend this hotel VERY highly!
