    Units with plenty water in the shower. A work desk, a flat-screen television and a dining area - very useful. Location adjacent to local Sri Lankan restaurants, the centre of the hustle bustle and a big garden area. Great food in the restaurants such as Epicure, located 10 min away.

    I stayed at Artisan Villa for a week and it was perfect for my visit to Colombo. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location was ideal, right in the heart of the city. The highlight for me was the beautiful decor and lush plants throughout the property, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The small cafe under the big tree and the clean swimming pool added to the charm of the place. The food was delicious and the service was top-notch. I can't wait to go back!

    Would recommend this hotel.

    Spent Christmas at this stunning villa and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff was so welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. We loved the delicious breakfast spread that included local delicacies and fresh fruits. The villa's outdoor space was the best part - a serene garden with a sparkling pool to cool down in the Sri Lankan heat. And the best thing? It was situated in a convenient location with easy access to nearby attractions and restaurants.

    That the rooms could have been cleaned more thoroughly. But it wasn't a big issue as the overall experience made up for it.

    We appreciated the complementary breakfast and the fact that they provided us with clean towels daily. the hotel was conveniently located close to several tourist attractions, which made exploring the city easy for us.

    Our room had several issues. the carpet smelled unpleasant and there were ants crawling around the room.
