Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Colombo

Lovely property in the suburbs of Colombo! Perfect for a small group of friends and family of 4-5 people. Extremely spacious rooms with well thought out furniture and fittings and to top it all off a large patio to unwind and chill.

Both Ann and her husband are very friendly hosts. They invited our family with warm welcome and made our stay pleasant and comfortable. They have very impressive, beautiful and well maintained garden. We left happily with good memories and I strongly recommend their place

Spacious home with a great layout and located in a leafy and peaceful area of Colombo. Very comfortable for our one-night stay. Thank you Nishendri for a very enjoyable stay.

The property is conveniently located just few steps from Nawala Road. Lots of dining options around . The decent size air conditioned bed room and two toilets , can park a car . Kitchen is fully equipped. Large roof top space suitable for bbq or party. Over all good place .

Ms. Udeni was very helpful when we stayed and her place was very peaceful, had wonderful surroundings and is very clutter free and clean.

Have just spent our 2nd stay here. For us, the garden is why we returned, which is kept very tidy by Velu. So peaceful to relax in during the day, with plenty of varied wildlife to entertain you during the day, especially the chipmunks. Our bedroom was comfortable, bed linen clean, a/c & ceiling fan kept it cool. Bathroom/ shower room ample size and more than satisfactory. Kitchen had everything as described, which includes the washing machine. We spent 99% of our time outside either in the garden or under the spacious veranda. No issue with WiFi. Keels supermarket 4 min walk away which has everything you might need. Good local food outlets, and we have tried them all in the past 2 years with no problems. Best find was Crepe Runner which is well worth the 10min stroll. Felt safe and secure with Velu on hand for anything you might need, together with Chaminder who will pop round at least twice a day, to check that everything is fine. Would have no hesitation staying again.

Definitely a recommended place to stay. The apartment (more private than the other apartment) has all necessary amenities, plus a few fine touches, like beautiful art on the walls, incense sticks and cones, and mosquito coils. Unfortunately, in this part of Colombo, there are mosquitos. The building is old in a good way, for instance the window fittings are beautiful and very practical compared with their modern equivalents. The shower is probably the best shower I have encountered in this part of the world. Very easy to operate (definitely not always the case), and hot water arrives immediately. I met Channa, the owner, on arrival, and he is an immediately likeable person, who will leave you in peace, but if you need advice or information he will assist without hesitation. Nothing is ever perfect, but if you want to stay in a place that is quite a bit different from the mainstream (with a sweet cat and dog thrown in for good measure!), this is the place.

Very comfortable. Noise from construction in the area. A problem during the day not at night. Barking dog in the neighbourhood. Seemed to stop late at night. High vehicular traffic.

Excellent apartment and so well situated. Impeccably clean and new, with a beautiful pool and gym. The flat is close to Pettah and many must-see areas. Gracious and responsive host. Thank you!

Highly recommend Sarath’s apartment, which actually *exceeded* our expectations and made our stay in Sri Lanka that much better. I will definitely be recommending it to friends and family. Special thanks to Sarath!

Roni is such a friendly host! I really enjoy staying at her place. I stayed there twice already and I always felt like home, definitely will stay again when back in Colombo.

I was in Colombo for work, followed by a vacation with my family. Romesh's place was perfect for my 2 weeks of work in Colombo. The apartment is centrally located close to several restaurants. Romesh and Janak were very responsive throughout my stay. Check in was very easy and Janak welcomed me and oriented me to the place. The apartment is very well maintained with AC in all the rooms, and a good WIFI connection. The kitchen is well-equipped with a fridge, microwave and all the implements for cooking and eating. The location is secure and I had no concerns about safety or security. Hotel Janki is close to the apartment and I had several meals there and use of the swimming pool for a small fee. When I am in Sri Lanka, I normally stay in my own house, which is currently rented out. Romesh's place was as good as staying at my own house. Thank you.

Everything was perfect just the same as last year, Mayukha is very nice and friendly host, as well as his wife. It was nice to see them again! Thank you!

Great hosts..beautiful house with all necessary facilities available. Thank you!

A fantabulous stay that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and quality. Will definitely be returning. The fully-equipped open kitchen is a culinary dream – every appliance and utility you could imagine was right at your fingertips The overall cleanliness and organization were simply top-notch. As a bonus, the gym access was a major plus : the equipment was well-maintained. An Absolute Gem.

Staying at this apartment felt like a true home away from home. Moving out of our childhood house was a big transition, but this space made it easier. It was modern, spacious, and immaculately clean, with every detail thoughtfully arranged. The kitchen was well-equipped with charming dishes, making even simple meals enjoyable. Both bedrooms had lovely balconies with breathtaking views, perfect for travellers. One of the most special sights was a serene Buddha statue on a nearby rooftop, glowing beautifully at night. The host was incredibly kind and accommodating, helping us extend our stay when needed. On checkout day, an emergency came up, and he graciously allowed us a late checkout. His hospitality truly made a difference. Whether you're visiting for a short stay or need a comfortable transition space like us, this apartment is an excellent choice. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of warmth during their stay.

The place was exactly like how it was shown in the pictures , extremely safe and peaceful . The luxury and the helpful host security guards made the stay easy and we felt just like at home

Where to start, what a great host, cozy place, felt serenity and place like more than home. Since i booked n approached her, she was very responsive , allowed early check in. She has decorated each n every item in the apartment with special attention and theme. Right from main door till all rooms, beach theme pillows, wall decoration, special souvenirs from across the world, beach theme kitchen cabinets. The place is just few meters from beach, great views of the sun set and beach around and roof top pool of course is a main attraction.. I am thankful to her for being such a great host I would not even think to go anywhere else next time i am in Colombo .

Great views of the ocean and it’s a nice cozy apartment with decent amenities! The host Susan, is always responsive.

Nidaal’s place is in the center of Colombo, it was easy to reach everything we wanted to see by short Tuk Tuk rides! The place is very up high and you have great view over the city. The check is process is a bit complicated, but Nidaal explained everything well! The beds are comfortable, the air condition works perfectly! Nidaal is a very communicative host, she answers quickly and has a lot of tips!

We had a great stay at this lovely apartment. It’s clean, modern, and very well equipped with everything you need. The two bedrooms were comfortable and perfect for our group. The kitchen is fully stocked, making it easy to cook meals at home. Check-in was seamless and hassle-free. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

Such a wonderful stay for our family, as we all enjoyed ourselves using the amenities of the residences. This is very much a family friendly residence, with a playground and a pool (not just 1 pool, but 3 pools - one was a leisure pool, the other was a pool for toddlers which is shallow and the other was a lap pool). There was also a gym, but we didn’t get time to use this. Great location as it is walking distance to restaurants and supermarkets. There is also a minimart within the building which was really handy, as we literally went down everyday to get something, whether it be drinks, sweets or snacks for the kids. Everything was as listed and the host is extremely helpful and responsive! Would highly recommend and if we come back to Colombo, this will be the place to stay with kids. Thank you so much :)

Impeccable Stay – Beyond Expectations I was impressed by the level of cleanliness and attention to detail in this apartment. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully prepared — from the ice cubes in the freezer and fresh drinking water to the soap neatly arranged in the bathrooms. I honestly didn’t expect such high standards in Sri Lanka, and I was pleasantly surprised. The host was also incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful throughout my stay. Highly recommended!

Our stay at The Grand Apartment in Colombo was absolutely perfect, and Jay played a huge role in making it so memorable. From the moment we arrived, Jay’s warmth and hospitality stood out. He kindly welcomed us, gave us a tour of the building, and ensured we were familiar with all the amazing amenities the apartment had to offer. The apartment itself was spotless, truly meeting high hotel standards. Every detail was well thought out, and it was clear Jay takes great pride in maintaining the property to the highest level. Whether it was a question or a small request, Jay was always just a phone call away. His responses were lightning-fast, and he consistently went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. If you’re looking for a host who genuinely cares about your experience and an apartment that offers luxury, cleanliness, and convenience, look no further. He sets the bar high for hospitality, and we’ll definitely be returning for another stay!
