My extensive experience with high-quality hotels in numerous countries meant I had no particular expectations upon arrival. It is not my custom to compose reviews, as my primary objective is to enjoy my stay. Nevertheless, I was most agreeably surprised by the Hotel Nuwa in City of Dreams. The courteous personnel and management demonstrated remarkable attentiveness in catering to my every requirement. A notably valuable amenity is the provision of a personal butler, designed for guests desiring an indulgent experience.

Very convenient secure location. Well maintained. Had all the utensils needed including a toaster, kettle, Microwave, hand mixer and a stick vacuum.. Ideal for a small expatriate Sri Lankan family. Walking distance to Cargill's supermarket and high level road. Had AU/NZ power socket adaptors so that we could use our phone chargers and laptops. Great quiet swimming pool not crowded and can use as your own private pool.

The room was beautiful and spacious, one of the nicest rooms I've stayed in and I stay in nice hotels for a living. I was shocked at just how lovely it was given the really cheap price. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. I don't think I'd want to stay anywhere else in Colombo!

    A cozy hotel situated overlooking the Wellawatta Beach, on Marine Drive. Don't miss the pool on the third floor it has magnificent ocean view. The rooms are quite spacious and bed is very comfortable. I had booked an ocean view and we enjoyed the magnificent sunset.
