Lovely and small boutique bed and breakfast
Pros:

Very small boutique hotel but very comfortable, very clean and excellent breakfast. Close to Mt Lavinia hotel and we had lunch and dinner there in beautiful surroundings

Cons:

Unpromising entrance of door on the street, but opens up inside. Rooms integrated the open spaces vegetation and light were lovely, but meant care needed to keep mosquitos away

Beautiful property, beautiful people
Pros:

The staff were so friendly and attentive, the property is beautifully decorated and the room we had was spacious and clean. The breakfast provided is delicious and filling - string hoppers, fish curry, potato curry, pol sambol and more! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Cons:

The main door occasionally gets locked from the inside in the evening so our key didn’t work. You can ring the bell and someone will open, but we felt bad doing this when returning a bit later. The A/C in our room was set to a temp and we couldn’t change it - just switch on/ off. Would have liked the option for a slightly cooler temp at times.

Quirky, Historical with a story to tell.
Pros:

The small quaintness of this historical Sri Lankan hotel was just charming. And totally appreciated the wonderful Manjo who greeted us at the car with his joyful cultural greeting and carried my suitcase up the stairs to the 3th floor. The Staff Piumali & Mohammad were very helpful and friendly. Making sure we were well taken care of. This building is an Our room consisted of the whole upper floor, sitting room w/a beautiful balcony. And private bedroom & bathroom. The antique decor added to the ambience. The Bed very comfy. Wifi does not work on lower floor but does work on 2nd and 3rd floor.
I so appreciated the kindness of the staff and being so warm and caring. So enjoyed going downstairs to the dinning table to see plates of fruit, press coffee, and hot homemade bread. A English breakfast was amazing.

A stay at Mount Lodge is an authentically good way to start a trip in Sri Lanka.

Benjamin, I cannot thank you enough for all your kindness and help also. Namaste'

Cons:

When you google map the hotel from CMB it does not give you the property distance. (We later found there is a regional airport in Lavinia that Google confuses w/CMB International in Colombo)We found out that Mount Lodge Boutique Hotel is actually over 1 hr away. The hotel set up a private transfer from CMB for an extra $44.usd. There is no restaurant or bar at the hotel but Uber & other food deliveries are just a few minutes away. We had an early transfer pickup to our next location so never had time to check out the neighborhood. I do miss not being able to do that.

Pleasant short stay in Mt. Lavinia
Pros:

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and they even made a packaged breakfast for me to take with me on my early trip out to the airport! The hotel was beautiful, room was clean and comfortable. Just a reminder (because I forgot this), you need to pay in cash and there is no fridge in the room.

Cons:

The attached bathroom is a bit outdated--toilet seat and shower area are clean but old and a bit stained. Although everything is thoroughly cleaned, it would be a bit nicer if attention was also paid to these details (and renewed). Dinner was quite expensive so I ate elsewhere (although I would have enjoyed the staff's cooking). Bring an eye mask as quite a bit of light enters the room through the two glass doors due to the hallway lights/daylight ( I was in the standard room).

The location is great, only a few minutes walk from the beach, and not too far from central Colombo. We had a lovely time, we'll definitely come back.
