Ellens Place  

In Colombo's leafy side, about 4–5 km from the city center, Ellen's Place is a boutique hotel that blends colonial character with modern comfort. Close enough for city sightseeing, far enough for quiet garden escapes. Family-friendly and accessible, it’s a compact hideaway for travelers seeking a peaceful base.

Housed in a converted family home, the property keeps original decor touches while offering modern guestrooms. Rooms are warmly decorated with wooden/parquet floors and feature essentials like TV, alarm clock, bathrobe and slippers; some rooms include complimentary tea and handy storage. The atmosphere is intimate and peaceful, with garden views and small‑hotel charm.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or kids pool, or soak in the hot tub after a day of exploring. There’s a library and garden for mellow downtime. Practical perks include on‑site parking, laundry and dry cleaning, car rental, safe‑deposit boxes, concierge service, a tour desk and transfer arrangements. A doctor is available and an elevator supports accessibility.

Wi‑Fi is available across the property, and staff can assist with transfers and local tour arrangements.

An on‑site restaurant serves local flavors so you can enjoy regional cuisine without leaving the hotel. Rooms also offer complimentary tea for a quiet morning treat.
