My family and I spent one night at the Lake Lodge on arrival in Sri Lanka at the end of March, before shipping out to Dambula the next day. Had we known how nice the Lake Lodge (and Colombo) would be, we probably would have spent longer. It's a simple place in a remarkably tranquil setting - down a small... More

Modern and stylish interior. Excellent food and service. A little noisy in the mornings from neighbouring buildings and you can never quite escape smells from the kitchen. A good base for a short break in Colombo.

Very comfortable air conditioned room set back from the main city so it was quiet at night too. Helpful staff.

We embarked on our trip month long trip of Sri Lanka with a 3 night stay at the Lake Lodge. Checked in without a problem, and were pleased with our spotless, spacious, simple room. Problem? Nope. Although, the "maitre d" was a touch annoying with his heavy shoes and rather snarly attitude. On one occasion, he shuffled over to our... More
