CJ the owner is a very good man and he had some recommendations for me during my stay in Colombo. Location is really good, near everything in the main part of the city. Room was good, bed comfortable. I was a little sick so spent a lot of time in the room.

No fan and AC also wasn't working. No staff.
Though the sea facing room had a brilliant view, nothing else is great about this place. It was hot and there was no fan in the room. The AC was old and not working. We couldn't even sleep. The washroom didn't even have soap and there was not even a single staff person to assist us. Too expensive for nothing.

Nice but a bit noisy place
The place is very nice and clean, not so far from the city center. All is new and modern inside. The rooms that are facing to the ocean are very noisy. Main reason for it is that between the hotel and the ocean passing a highway and a railway, both active day and night. The owner did the effort to put some acoustic windows, but for some reason just on part of the windows, so the noise is still getting in and disturbing. The owner and the manager are very nice persons, helped us to order taxi and gave some advises about the city. Also allowed us late check out for a reasonable fee.

Perfect for an overnight
Stayed here with my adult son and wife overnight. Shared bathroom worked out fine and the fridge and kitchen downstairs made it easy to store the fruit we were carrying. Its right across from the ocean which is lovely, but on a busy street--not bad with the a/c on. Place was clean and comfortable. Had a bit of a problem finding someone to tell us where to go when we first arrived, and he didn't make much effort to help us get into the place, but other than that I liked the place and would stay again.

Close to the ocean
Very good location to see the ocean!! I enjoyed walking the coast. Breakfast is not provided as its regular operation though, the hotel is located near good local restaurants and shops. It takes 10 minutes to Mcdonald's on foot.  The shared shower room is not so clean and not so comfortable. The under of bed is a little bit dusty. Free Wi-Fi is provided.

Good choice for guesthouse in Colombo
CJ Villas is a great choice for a guesthouse if you're in Colombo for a few days. Seeing as there's not much to actually see in Colombo itself, this area is great for foreigners to use as a base while visiting different parts of the country. A 15 minute tuktuk ride to the main train station and the major sights in Colombo, and has a number of great local and foreign restaurants and shops within walking distance. The owner is very friendly and will give you tips on the best places in the area. The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable, excellent AC and wifi, and even though it's a shared bathroom, it's clean and was never an issue. Only downside is the train and traffic noise, although it quiets down between 12-7am and this is a problem in most busy parts of Sri Lanka.

Für die ersten Nacht in Colombo ok
Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind in Ordnung - nur zu Empfehlen, wenn man kein Frühstücker ist, da es kein Essen gibt im Hotel. Das Bad war mittelmäßig (Schimmel, da kein Fenster). Man sollte ein Zimmer nicht mit Meerblick nehmen, da es sehr laut ist (liegt an der Hauptstraße).

Sconsigliatissimo
La zona era brutta, il bagno era in comune e sporco, la WiFi non funzionante...per non parlare della dell'arroganza offensiva e maleducata di uno dei due gestori. Ho vissuto un'esperienza molto sgradevole e, per la delicatezza della questione, preferisco non esporre qui le mie rimostranze bensì rendermi disponibile per chiarimenti mediante altri canali. Grazie.

Hyggeligt og komfortabelt
Vi overnattede 2 nætter på CJ Villas hvilket var rigtig fint for os, da vi lige skulle bruge et par dage til, at komme ovenpå efter flyveturen. Hotellet ligger dejligt ud til vandet, og i gåafstand til mange ting. Værterne var rigtig flinke og hjælpsomme mht. hvor man burde spise og hvad man burde se.

Flott hotell med glimrende service og bra wifi
Veldig hyggelig bemanning og god service, samt flotte rom. Det var en flott balkong i toppetasjen som alle kunne bruke. Dette var veldog bra, men det var mye støy der. 9/10
