“A Hidden Gem Full of Character and Charm”
What a delightful hidden gem! Although we stayed for only one night, Aathma Colombo House left a lasting impression. Every corner of the property tells a story, filled with character, color, and thoughtful design. The atmosphere is warm, unique, and wonderfully authentic, making it feel more like a beautifully curated home than a hotel. Our only regret is not staying longer to fully explore and appreciate all the details that make this place so special. We will certainly return for a longer visit next time. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a truly unique boutique hotel experience in Colombo.

“Excellent hotel”
One of the best hotels I stayed at whilst in Sri Lanka. I spent my last 2.5 days in Sri Lanka here and the staff were so kind and welcoming. The hotel manager was also super kind and went above and beyond! The hotel feels like the home of a wealthy artist/architect. The interior design was breathtaking and the location was like a mini island oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city but still well connected.

“City oasis”
Amazing property, super quirky and well put together. The staff are lovely. Breakfast excellent. Tip: use uber and order a tuk tuk to get to sights, lots of fun and very cost effective.

The property is very artistic and pretty for sure and thankfully it did resemble what they had on the site. Calm and serene, very humble staff which took care of us patiently. Customized our dinner and breakfast too. Property is a colour riot and poetic!

Honestly didn't expect to be this impressed but Aathma Colombo completely won me over. The room alone was worth it — exceeded every expectation. If you're in Colombo, just book it.

“An exceptional boutique hotel with stunning design and outstanding hospitality. Not to be missed!”
A gorgeous boutique hotel within easy taxi or tuktuk distance of central Colombo. The stunning eclectic decor, beautiful outdoor seating areas, and wrap-around pool create a truly relaxing atmosphere. We stayed in a garden room, one of the lower-priced options, but it was every bit as stylish and luxurious as the rest of the hotel, with vibrant colours and gorgeous furnishings throughout. The hotel exceeded our expectations on every level. Breakfast was sumptuous, and the staff were consistently friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend — genuinely one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. The decor is breathtaking as soon as you walk in! The room was gorgeous and the staff were very attentive, helpful and there for anything you needed which made the stay wonderful. They serve excellent food and drinks with lots of options and it's all delicious food. It's a nice peaceful location away from the busy city, and lots of nature walks nearby as well as the pool to relax in. I have nothing bad to say, hopefully be back soon!

“A unique, quirky, paradise and a sanctuary from the chaos of Colombo.”
This is the most beautiful boutique hotel I have ever stayed in. It is a paradise of exquisite craftwork, fabrics and design, exotic, tranquil gardens that connect into the house everywhere, faultless, old-world, service and delicious Sri Lankan food. It is so peaceful that you feel relaxed the moment you step inside. It is just extraordinary. I cannot recommend it more highly.
