“Cozy, Peaceful and Private”
We liked the whole architecture of the property. It was cozy. Unfortunately we couldn't make use of the kitchenette but it was all available. Our host (property owner) - Mr. Chamath reached out us on Whatsapp prior to check-in and kept us well informed about the property rules and regulations which felt like a personalised gesture. Smooth check-in and check-out.

“It´s perfect—clean, fully equipped, with stunning rooftop views and amazing hospitality 👑”
I had an exceptional stay at Diwan Apartment & Chalet in Colombo. Manager Chamath was incredibly polite, welcoming, and always available to assist with anything I needed. Upon arrival, he greeted me with a freshly opened King Coconut as a welcome drink—a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the rest of my stay. The apartment was spotless and well-equipped, featuring a fully stocked kitchen, a balcony, and a washing machine complete with detergent and softener. From the rooftop, I enjoyed stunning panoramic views of the entire city. The location is convenient, with shops, restaurants, pharmacies, and local vendors all within walking distance. I couldn't have asked for a better experience; everything was perfect.
