    Such a nice stay! The room is incredibly spacious and it's located upstairs from a very lovely cafe! Would say it's an underrated gem of Colombo! Location is good, but just so slightly tucked away so that you still feel like you're out of the city...

    Staff are incredibly nice. All facilities very well clean. Nice options for breakfast (although slightly pricey). Not exactly in the historical center but super well connected to all parts of town.

    Srilax is a Gem, in a beautiful area of Colombo. The staff was attentive and kind, they looked after us so well. We loved having breakfast/brunch/lunch and coffee downstairs in the cafe. The rooms were clean, cosy and the beds were comfortable.

Property info

Srilax was created by husband and wife duo, Isuru and Shana - a couple who share a love for tasteful design, good vibes and easy living. The pair converted the upper floor of Café Kumbuk into Srilax, a family-friendly, 5-bedroom bed and breakfast with a modern, minimal aesthetic that is inspired by Sri Lankan heritage. Located in the heart of the city yet perfectly tucked away from the hustle and bustle, Srilax offers a stylish and convenient place to stay. Downstairs is Café Kumbuk, one of Colombo’s most loved cafes, with the same easy tropical vibe as Srilax. Co-owned by Shana and her mother, Dinali, Café Kumbuk offers a deliciously curated menu using locally sourced produce and spices, made fresh daily for you to enjoy.
