We have rarely stayed at a hotel with such genuinely warm, attentive and welcoming staff. They made us feel at home throughout our entire stay. The rooms are extremely comfortable and beautifully designed, and the food was excellent and plentiful. Definitely worth a visit!

  • A luxury hideaway in the city

    “Maniumpathy is a perfect location close enough to central Colombo but also a haven away from the hubbub of the city. Turning into the drive was like going back in time - arriving under the portico at the front of the building with the staff opening the door just as the car came to a stop! The cooling cloth to freshen and juice on arrival was just an indication of the fabulous indulgence we felt for our 2 night stay. The room was beautiful with a dressing area, double sink and our own little courtyard at the back. What we absolutely loved was the food! The thali was just mouth-watering, the breakfasts amazing and the cocktails at Dr Hallocks Bar were sublime! We loved that locals were also coming there to dine. This really was the height of luxury in a building with charm, character and so much history, and service of the highest standard. We would love to stay again in the future!”

  • Good base for Colombo

    “Sadly we only stayed here 1 night at the end of our trip. It is set in a residential area of Colombo. A lovely oasis with delightful pool. We had the best room in the place with a huge 4 poster bed. Service was excellent .I was worried about road noise but that did not materialise. Restaurant is very popular with non residents .”

  • I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

    “Absolutely delightful in every way. Attractive colonial type building only 7 rooms in hotel. Ours was beautifully furnished with an unusual “open to the skies” bathroom arrangement which worked perfectly. The breakfasts and juices were delicious and we enjoyed Thali dinner, all served on the veranda.. There is a traditional dining room with long table which would be wonderful if you had a large party and booked all the rooms. The service was first class, each of the team was so warm, friendly and helpful.”

  • Oasis in centre of Colombo

    “We stayed at Maniumpathy for one night at the end of our Sri Lanka trip and only wished we could have stayed longer. The hotel is a beautifully restored heritage mansion and feels much more like staying in an elegant private home than a typical hotel. With only a small number of suites, the atmosphere is calm, intimate and very relaxing – a real oasis in the middle of Colombo. Our suite was spacious and full of character, and the courtyard pool provides a peaceful place to unwind after travelling. Service was exceptionally warm and welcoming, and the food was very good, with Sri Lankan dishes in particular standing out.”

  • A relaxing, beautiful hotel with wonderful staff and food.

    “We chose this small boutique hotel for our first night after flying direct from the UK. We appreciate hotels which are classy, not loud, the best quality food, friendly and super comfortable. It was all of these things and had we been staying in Colombo for more than 1 night it would be a tranquil paradise from which to explore or do what you have to do. You won't go wrong here”
