Great place
Only 7 rooms. Great unique place. Very friendly staff. Dinner offerings, including quality of menu, could be better. With such fresh ingredients, the chef could have a special of the day. 90% of offerings are spicy. Would lower that ratio.

Beautiful oasis in Colombo: charming rooms, fantastic spa (best massage I’ve ever had!) and I highly recommend the cooking demonstration where the chefs will show you how to make Jaffna curries. A wonderful stay!

Hotel is a former 100-year old mansion that has been beautifully and sensitively transformed into a boutique hotel. Each of the 8 rooms is individually decorated with the upstairs rooms being especially spacious. Room decor is reflective of the colonial era (teak canopy beds, secretaries, decorative antiques) with fully modern amenities (lovely bathroom, A/C, satellite TV). We had dinner and breakfast at the property. Both were delicious with spice levels matching guest preference. While more limited in services, the pool is lovely, and the location is excellent - close to higher-end shopping and dining options. The staff was also excellent. We felt like we were guests in a family home with an authentically local experience at a refined level.

Beautiful property. The photos don't do it justice. The service is also incredible - everyone who is at the property is so kind and goes out of their way to make sure you're happy. The room was perfect and much better than expected based on the photos. I was scared the room would be a bit dirty with the antique-looking furniture, but I was so pleasantly surprised with how clean it all was. The food was also really delicious.

Beautiful property with clean spacious rooms. Staff could not do enough to make us feel welcome. We arrived 2 days after the bombings and spent much of our 2 days at the hotel due to tight security throughout Colombo. We felt very safe with a security guard on duty behind a high fence dnd locked gates. Thank you to all the staff and management for making our stay so wonderful. We will be back next year. This is truly a magnificent property.

Charming house, beautiful interiors, tiny rooms
The main building is lovely. The bedrooms are well-appointed but actually rather cramped. The staff meet expectations but lack the charm and attentiveness to make the experience memorable. They seemed a little out of focus.

Perfectly Formed In Every Way !
Oh my, Colombo is one hectic and gritty city we cannot say loudly enough how relieved we felt upon returning to Maniumpathy after even just a few hours out in the big smoke....it is indeed an oasis of calm and soothing to your soul. It is true as other reviewers have mentioned, that you need to get on a tuk tuk to reach other hot spots, but it is still more than worthwhile to stay here instead of a more central location that will come with copious amounts of dust, dirt and bedlam....we booked the Master suite Annapuranie, which was stunning, this suite gives you a very spacious ensuite featuring a luxury claw footed bath, heaven to lie back and soak using their beautiful amenities, then you have a separate study/snug and a private enclosed courtyard. All beautifully maintained as are the public spaces too. It really feels that you have stepped into another era of grace and harmony. The staff also make Maniumpathy a cut above the rest, smooth and slick, professional and extremely courteous. Whatever and whenever you want any service, they will oblige. Chaminda runs this boutique hotel with quiet efficiency but all the staff that looked after us so well deserve high praise too. Excellent food and reasonably priced. Just marvelous. Thank you Hotel Maniumpathy !

Perfect place to rest in Colombo
We stayed here for a night after our long flight to Colombo. It’s a lovely old building with a small number of rooms situated round a courtyard and pool. The staff were incredibly welcoming and had no problem serving us a delicious dinner even though we arrived quite late. Breakfast was also really nice, out on the terrace. The room was lovely - really comfortable bed and a big bathroom with nice walk-in shower. Would definitely recommend
