Pros:

Komfortable Unterkunft in guter Lage.

Cons:

Schimmel im Badezimmer. Ein Frühstück, dass wir aufgrund von nächtlicher Abreise nicht wahrnehmen konnten, musste dennoch gezahlt werden. Zwar wurde kulanterweise ein Abendessen stattdessen angeboten – Abends hat sich dann jedoch herausgestellt, wir sollen bitte von der Frühstückskarte bestellen. Auch die Flughafenfahrt war trotz hohem Preis direkt über das Hotel gebucht mit zusätzlichen Gebühren auf der Fahrt verbunden.

A truly memorable family stay with exceptional hospitality, wonderful food and a team that genuinely
Pros:

We had a wonderful family stay at Taprobane House. The hospitality was exceptional from the moment we arrived until we left. Raman, the Manager, was extremely friendly and took great care of our family, including our food preferences. The food was excellent. Ryan was very humble, attentive and made sure our room was always neat and clean. We also really appreciated being allowed to use the swimming pool after checkout while we waited to leave Colombo. The entire team was warm, helpful and genuinely customer-focused.

Cons:

Honestly, there was very little to dislike. We had a very comfortable and memorable stay. If anything, we only wish we could have stayed longer!

Pros:

La piscine est magnifique, avec une vue exceptionnelle sur le coucher du soleil. Les chambres sont très spacieuses.

Cons:

La cuisine est très chère et pas exceptionnelle : notamment impossible d’avoir un café correct même en redemandant 2 fois (c’était du mauvais café réchauffé). C’est dommage vu un lieu de ce standing.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay
Pros:

Easily my favorite hotel during my entire Sri Lanka trip. This was the one place where I really felt like I was staying at a proper professional hotel rather than a smaller homestay-style property.
The staff was excellent, particularly Raman, who was probably the best hotel employee we encountered during the entire trip. Very professional, experienced, friendly and attentive. He handled our check-in, helped us during breakfast, was available whenever we needed anything and even helped me arrange a PickMe ride to the airport, which saved us a lot of money.
Raman also told us about places to visit nearby, including Majestic City, the coastal area and the railway station. His recommendations helped us make the most of our final evening in Colombo.
Excellent location. Majestic City, the coast and the railway station were all within walking distance. Even my mother, who has arthritis and has difficulty walking long distances, was able to explore the surrounding area with me.
The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. We had one large bed and one smaller bed and both were very comfortable.
Great air conditioning and good room facilities overall.
We also had a very nice view overlooking the garden area of a nearby church.
The bathroom has an unusual design, with the sink inside the main room while the toilet and shower are behind separate doors, but we didn't have any problem with it.
There was no breakfast buffet, but we were given a very large breakfast with plenty of options and Raman made sure everything was taken care of.
Our check-in was slightly late, but it wasn't a problem and everything was handled professionally.
The location really helped us enjoy Colombo. We had a lovely evening exploring the area and Majestic City in particular was a great place to spend our final night.
Our only regret was that this was the end of our Sri Lanka trip and we only stayed here for one night.

Cons:

Nothing significant. The hot water could occasionally turn a little cold and it would have been nice to have a breakfast buffet, but neither was enough to negatively affect our stay.

Ok ma staff no
Pros:

La stanza era molto grande e pulito. Abbiamo mangiato al ristorante e si mangiava molto bene

Cons:

Lo staff. Siamo entrati in stanza e mancavano gli asciugamani, abbiamo dovuto chiederli 2 volte. Il nostro driver aveva chiesto se poteva parcheggiare la sua auto nel box visto che poi saremmo dovuti partire la notte stessa alle 3.30 per andare in aeroporto, loro gli avevano dato il consenso. Peccato che la notte alle 3.15 la porta del garage era bloccata da un'auto di un ospite che aveva parcheggiato la davanti e quindi il nostro driver è stato per più di mezz'ora a fare manovre assurde per poter uscire dal box.

nice !
Pros:

Siamo state ieri alla Taprobane House a Colombo e che scoperta! Un boutique hotel piccolino, tranquillissimo in una viuzza appartata ma a due passi da tutto (Barefoot, Gallery Café, mare). Camera enormeeee, pulitissima, letto comodissimo e piscina sul tetto super rilassante. Ma la cosa più bella è lo staff, gentilissimi, disponibili per qualsiasi cosa, ti fanno sentire a casa. Rapporto qualità prezzo top a
Colombo. Consigliatissimo!

Cons:

bella posizione ma se si vuole raggiungere qualcosa a piedi non si riesce bisogna per forza prendere un tuk tuk
