We were looking for a place to stay one night in colombo, we contact this b&b in january and asked for the prices, mr. Ranjit told us that we would have a room with bathroom and a/c for 4000r. We arrived there and indeed was the girl very very nice and friendly bu our room was not clean, there was... More

This place is overpriced for the run down facilities it provides. Shanti who looks after everyone is delightful but beware if you have any issue around money with Mr Ranjit. He is not an easy man to deal with and can appear almost a little menacing where money is concerned. He represents that part of Sri Lanka that thinks you... More

We spent two nights in the guest house and would have left if we were not to flight back to Europe. (We followed the Lonely Planet guide). We have to concess that the rooms are aerated and clean, quiet. The young lady taking care of everything is doing her best to satisfy you and make you feel at ease. But... More

We needed somewhere to stay for our first night in Colombo and chose this place, as we were on a budget. We were charged 3500 rupees plus 15% service charge. It is impossible to find, and none of the locals or rickshaw drivers knew where it was. It is located in postcode Colombo 7, faraway from the centre of Colombo,... More

Set in the heart of the Diplomatic community this Guest House is well located and an attractive place to stay. Like all the places we stayed in that price range the maintenance of the rooms and bathroom was poor. Broken furniture on the terrace etc. We were well welcomed and for a change were asked to register and to pay... More

I was going to refute the previous reviews and say that Ranjit was actually quite friendly and his guest house reasonably comfortable (although very hot if you don't want to pay the extortionate extra amount for a/c), but then he charged us 100 rupees to make an approximately 5 second phone call to book a taxi. I know it's not... More

The description of Ranjits Ambalama on Hostelworld or Lonely Planet is not quite accurate. There are no shops and "places of interest" nearby. In fact, R.A. is located in Colombo´s embassy district where you find only mansions, colleges, sports courts, police stations and a military base. The area is also guarded day and night by the police and armed military.... More

a good hostel run by the lady woner. we were not allowed to run the a.c as we did not pay for it. the home made food is very good although it was very expensive. but it is worth that it is centrally located More

We had the worst stay we have ever had. The owner is completely unreasonable. It is hard to talk to him. He is rude and dismissive. At one point he walked away while I was talking and closed the gate on my face. Every request we made was either a huge issue, or seemed to cost more money (like use... More
