The Occazia Residence — Hotel in Colombo

We booked this whole villa for a day. And it was very uncomfortable since there are cameras inside the house. And horrible experience with the care taker. As soon as we checked in we arranged our food and it was we very hot and he came and asked we want the center AC on but said that we will have to pay an extra amount for that so we said it’s fine and then I went and on the AC in the room and came down as soon as i came down he went and checked all the room without even asking us and he switched off the AC in the room and room and came. We paid the full amount before we checked in. He was just so annoying and trying to rule us like we’re staying for free. At least we can’t talk or laugh. And he did gave us a time to sleep. We slept around 5 in the morning and we were talking till that. As soon as we we slept he thrown all the food box and the food without even asking us, we spent a lot for those food we were planing on having those food the next day since we couldn’t eat that night. when we questioned him, he talked to us in a very rude manner. He only cares about money. In the morning around 7 in the morning we were sitting in the sitting room he came and switched off the fan he saw us sitting there but he didn't even ask. Because of that we left early. We didn’t have any privacy at all. Since the time we checked in he came and poked us. Horrible experience ever. Do not...

We booked the whole villa for oursleves everything was really fine and we liked the villa and the location. The cartaker was a very nice person but really sorry to say he should be taught to respect on some personal space of the guest where as he some times jumps in to our conversations. The beds and rooms were comfortable but not clean i would say, behind every window curtain there is so much horrible dust which caused breathing issues with the air con on at night. Even the washroom window curtaimns had horrible dust, and no handshowers which should be mentioned onsite since not everyone is comfortable with other type pf service provided.

Me and my friends enjoyed the space very well together and had our fun, if people expect some privacy then this isnt the right place, and for gatherings as well. The host and the caretaker are not happy with gatherings and parties due to the location. Overall i will give just two stars, and the caretaker also should be taught to talk politely to the guest as he is rude some times as well and he repeats the same thing again and again about how to behave and use the space and then we had to mention that all of us are from the hospitality trade and we cleaned the space mostly by ourself after consuming food and using the...

We stayed at shalimar residency for 2 weeks while preparing for my wedding. The house has 3 spaciouse and comfy bedrooms. The house is very clean and well maintained. It is very close to nugegoda and situated very conviniently. The owners are very attentive and friendly. I had initially mixed up my arrival date and arrived much earlier. They were very flexible and easy going allowed me to check in earliar than anticipated. The best thing about our stay apart from the house it self was the lovely care taker deva and his wife rani. Both of them ensured that me and my family were taken care of and offered tireless support in all the wedding preperation. As i initially arrived in sri lanka by my self having them in the house felt very safe. Deva ensured that i was comfortable and well fed. We didnt have to worry about anything during our stay and everyone that visited us absolutely loved deva and ranis hospitality. Hospitatlity was outstanding and deva personafies the kind honesty and intergrity that is now very rare in sri lanka. We will definitly be returning to stay...
