Nyne Hotels Lake Lodge - Colombo — Hotel in Colombo

The Lake Lodge is a fantastic place to stay, the rooms are extremely comfortable and well appointed and the staff are excellent, very helpful and very friendly.||The on site restaurant is exceptional (Table at Nyne is also bookable by non-residents and we saw a number of non-residents dining here) and they clearly have a chef and kitchen staff that are way beyond what you might normally expect in an onsite restaurant, the menu is very well priced and very broad and the quality of the food is just amazing. Breakfast is included and comprises a fruit platter, toast, fresh juice, coffee/tea and a choice from a menu (which ranges from pancakes to full english!). The restaurant waiting staff are also very, very good and reinforce what a great dining experience is to be had here. In addition to the restaurant there is a bar area where you can just chill with a drink.||This is not a big hotel (I'd classify it as a boutique hotel), which suited us perfectly, and it is tucked away from the general Colombo mania, but everything in and around Colombo (and beyond) is easily accessible from the hotel and the staff are only too happy to help organise anything you might want to do (which for us included a visit to the Elephant orphanage in Pinnawala and a Colombo city tour by tuk tuk). The accommodation itself is of a very high standard with large bedroom (king size bed) and large en-suite washroom, free wi-fi, cable TV and coffee/team making. Fresh mineral water is provided daily (or as often as you request it) and there is a (hidden) fridge in the room so anything can be kept chilled (though the in-room aircon will do that too!).||This was our first visit to Sri Lanka and we would love to come back, we would definitely stay at the Lake Lodge again because it really helped to make the stay memorable and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to...

Highly recommended by local friends in Colombo, Taru Villas' Lake Lodge fails to achieve the bare minimum expected from a Sri Lankan luxury boutique brand.

I would like to start with the best aspect of my stay - breakfast! I sense that this property has a great kitchen. The local dishes served (pol roti, chicken curry and a fresh fruit platter) were exquisite.

The rooms are relatively small but quite comfortable. The cons far outweigh the pros, however.

Funnily enough, there is a shortage of plug points in the rooms. I have shared photos.

I would urge patrons to avoid both the rooms I was assigned. Room 10 is directly below the laundry room, a room where one is awoken by the loud sounds of footsteps and shutting doors as early as 8am.

I was then moved to room number 2 which is located near a toilet frequented by patrons of the property's restaurant and visitors in general. The room's fridge is not in the room but located in a common area! Appalled by the lack of privacy.

Generally speaking, the service is quite lackluster. Certain members of the housekeeping and front desk team lack basic hospitality training.

Tiron or Terron (excuse my spelling), for instance, was extremely rude. Please get in touch with me for further details.

Safe to say I'll never be...
