더 빌라 인 라비니아

It is a cheap place to stay. You get what you pay for.

Dans ce charmant hôtel, nous avions une chambre au rez de chaussée,avec petite terrasse privée, à côté de la piscine. Le personnel est aux petits soins, toujours souriants.

Great place to stay Everyone working there is lovely

En general está bien, con atención personal del propietario, puedes ir andando a la playa, y muy cerca se coge un autobús que lleva al centro.

Very kind people very good place to stay. Close to everything. Close to beach. I can recommend to anyone.

Good location. Good value for money. Effective AC. Nice breakfast. Friendly staff.

Tesis ana arterden uzak mahalle arasında, günlük oda temizliği yapılmadı, günlük ücretsiz şişe su verilir yazmasına rağmen ücret istediler...

A little hidden gem. Clean, simple, great staff, very reasonably priced. I would definitely come back!

The Villa in Lavinia is a nice-enough, quaint property and on the whole, well run by the owner and staff, who were nice people, grateful for your patronage and always helpful. Its location is not in the nicest environment at the bottom of the street off Galle Road, just a hundred yards from the train track. Trains pass often with screaming horns at all hours, which has to happen given so many people live, (in dire poverty), at the railway line or cross the track in the normal course of the day/night. The room itself was basic, a little tired and could do with renovation and re-painting (at least). There was air-conditioning in the room, but wasn't always effective in a tropical climate. Sometimes the ceiling fan did the job more effectively. The bed was pretty 'hard', uncomfortable and old. The mattress under the sheets looked pretty dirty. The Wi-Fi was okay.....worked 50% of the time, though was set through an unsecured connection. It often dropped sporadically just when you needed it. The room had a fridge, which was great since you need to buy mineral water and keep it cold. The bathroom was good, but very tired and needs renovating - the shower-head was literally rusty. However, all this is in context since Sri Lanka is, at best, a 2nd world country/developing nation.

Inside shower room, toilet bowl and wash basing arrangement are not safe, as sitting in the toilet is not safe due to wash basing square slab with sharp corners. This is a health and safety issue, accident waiting to happen, requires urgent revisit the washrooms and attend to appropriate resifting of wash basing so on to make safe. I alert this issue with the manger InCharge, and he acknowledged the issue. A simple modification of bathroom would solve the problem.

I like the stay in this hotel and people is nice and professional

Have stayed at this establishment over the past 20 or so years. First choice when visiting SL. standard has improved with the addition of fridges. Friendly, obliging professional staff standards have not changed.

We spent 1 night here at the Villa in Lavinia. The staff greeted us at the door and walked us to the room as they explained things. We had a nice breakfast prepared for us the next morning accompanied by a gentle knock on the door to let us know it was hot and ready. When we had an issue getting an Uber to come pick us up to go to our next location the staff immediately stepped in and contacted a driver for us. The Villa at Lavinia is a small establishment, but the personal care and service is unmatched. Thank you for that.

Très bon emplacement, entre plage et commerces. Personnel très agréable. Idéal pour visiter Colombo puis finir la journée à la plage.

Quiet cosy atmosphere. Staff was friendly and provide assistance.

The Villa in Lavinia is a great little place tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Colombo proper which is a few minutes away though there is plentiful supply of taxis (Uber) and tuk-tuks so it was not an issue for us. Although the location is closer to the beach there aren't many things to do locally so the taxis do come handy. Facility wise, the room and the hotel in general was in good clean condition and the pool (although small-ish in size) and surrounding area was well kept. The only real issue we had during our stay is the daily power cuts for which the hotel didn't have generators for at the time.

Sauber und gut ausgestattet. Das Personal ist durchweg sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Am besten gefallen hat mir aber die Lage ,dicht an Colombo und allem was man braucht und vorallem in einer realen Umgebung dh kein Touristen Ghetto. Uns haben die Tage dort wirklich gefallen und uns das Ankommen auf Sri Lanka sehr erleichtert .

Staff were pleasant and obliging - although initial requests made at booking were not met. The manager's personal attention to promptly solve a technical issue was very much appreciated. Location is good. You get value for money and I liked the homey feel of the villa. The building itself is very nice but needs upgrading e.g. plug points should be changed to square from round; fan in my room was noisy; bedside lamps would be nice; amenities were just two tiny lumps of soap. Bring your own.

Location is also not that good. Wifi was pathetic. You cannot connect in your room and when it is connected it was very slow. After that in evening there is a power cut and hotel doesn’t have anpower back up. When i asked then came to know that power cut is also in morning from 0830-1130 and evening 1700-1800 or 1830. I checked out in morning as soon as i got up. Worst experience of hotel.

Die Lage ist wirklich gut, kurzer Weg zum Strand über die Bahnschienen. Der Strand ist sauber und die Restaurants sehr gut. Ich hatte keinen Adapter und das Personal vom Hotel hat mir netterweise einen besorgt, danke dafür.
