Great hidden gem of a place. We arrived at Zylan after a long flight at 4am. Check in was prompt by the night staff and we were able to relax within 5 mins of arriving. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Very well priced and location was excellent. We requested a late check-out via Facebook as we were knackered and they happily obliged with no fuss. Great customer service. We shall return whenever we come to Colombo.
Extremely Chicin heart of Colombo..one of the best places to stay when you are in town for a business or leisure visitGood Cuisine..easy access..and of course Great Service..
Cozy, comfortable and spacious accommodation in this 10-room villa at Colombo 7 residential district, Zylan is one to be staying at. Simple, beautiful and peaceful. I took the 60 m2 Executive Room with Jacuzzi and it was so comfortable. Japanese restaurant Zen on top is decent. The only downside is the breakfast choice; it only serves English breakfast which gets really boring especially when staying long. Sri Lankan breakfast is a possibility but has to be requested in advance. Overall, Zylan is one of good boutique hotels pick while in Colombo. Recommended.
Sushi was decent but the bill was mishandled multiple times (overcharged our cards and spent an hour on just getting the reversals and new charges right). Sheer incompetence. Don't waste your time.
Nice japanese food. Place offers variety of seating type. Nice place for a party , date or small get together. But it's on expensive side.
It's a nice clam place to enjoy the dinner
Way better than expected. Kudos for making it so wonderful guys. Coming back sooon
Great ambience. It's got that boutique feel as well a Japanese vibe. The rooftop is good. The food is great. Plus it's BYOB
Excellent Japanese food and great ambience!
So this is exactly what you do not want to encounter when you arrive in a foreign country with kids in the middle of the night. After having to bang on the gate for a few minutes to gain entry, I was escorted to a room that was advertised as having 1 king bed and 2 single beds but instead, had just one bed. I was then treated to a phone call from the hotel manager, Anushka, screaming at me that I have too many people in the room.
After going back and forth with the well meaning but powerless hotel staff and a screaming Anushka on the phone, the staff acknowledged, after I showed them the listing with pictures (this is after them trying to get their own wi-fi working for a good 20 minutes) that yes the room was advertised as having 3 beds. They still held to the claim that I was to specially request these extra beds. My family and I travel and stay in hotels/villas often (at least 5-6 times a year) and never have I encountered an issue like this nor such rude service.
In the end, they got me for an additional $50 USD more for what turned out to be an additional dirty mattress (that was nicely dressed in sheets) on the floor of the already tiny room. In all fairness, they did offer me another room on the other side, but after arguing with them for hours, it was now 3:30 in the morning and I had no interest in waking up my kids and bringing them down 3 flights of steps, from our original room, and around the back to the other side.
I got my remaining 3 hours of sleep and got out of there. My original plan was to spend the day in Colombo but I didn't trust them to watch my luggage after the fiasco the night before. Day 1 of my holiday was officially ruined.
Room was basic, nothing fancy, but clean. The fan was noisy but worked. I will never come here again.
Old mansion in a quiet locality now serving as a boutique hotel. Very personalized service, large rooms and very cosy and homely.
Beautiful boutique hotel. Amazingly friendly, helpful and honest staff. They have sushi too.
Love that Japanese restaurant
Best sushi in town
Beautifully done as a luxury boutique hotel. Has a lot of atmosphere though service is slow
Nice and calm surrounding. Good food and nicely built hotel.
