Staff was super helpful - set up an airport pickup for me last minute, included a delicious and enormous breakfast on the roof terrace, shared a list of places to visit in colombo, and helped me set up a tour outside of Kandy that I was having some difficulty solidifying. They really went out of their way to be helpful. The room was nice, big, bright, clean bathroom with good toiletries. Area was quiet and convenient, close to parks and cafes. Recommend!
Nice base for our first 2 nights in Sri Lanka. There was a bit of confusion about our booking when we checked in but quickly sorted out. The hotel is very clean and quite modern. A good location close to the cinnamon gardens area, the national museum and viharamedevi park.
Den 23 is a very nice, clean hotel with excellent, smiling service staff, nice roof top sitting area/restaurant with a good view of Colombo. Hotel manager (Felix) was waiting for me and greeted me on arrival. He also offered help with whatever I might need, without being too pushy, though. Downtown Colombo is within easy reach with tuk-tuk for a small fee. Very decent Cargill supermarket is right next door. Overall nice place, highly recomended. Jan, Toronto. Canada.
The entire staff were great. They make you feel like family. The hotel is clean and well maintained. I stayed here off and on for my entire 5 month stay. Felix is there to help you no matter the issue. Highly recommend.
Excellent manager Felix always helpful & super friendly
The hotel’s wifi policy is a problem having to renew it each day
Great rooftop pity it’s not able to serve beer!!
We arrived at this hotel exhausted and that changed instantly the moment we opened the door and got a warm welcome from Felix the host. Felix has the energy that we all wish we had. The information he gives you while checking in is invaluable and he is more than happy to answer questions. We took him up on a SIM card which was far cheaper than using data when needed. He also gives you a card with top places to visit on it, really handy
The rooms and the hotel are spotless, and if you need anything all you have to do is ask.
There is a kitchen and a chef, but you are allowed to make your own stuff from the supermarket next door and then eat on the roof top which offers amazing views.
I cannot recommend this place enough, you will leave feeling relaxed and energised for exploring.
Wow wow wow, what an amazing place to stay. We started our journey at the Den for our trip around Sri Lanka and the location, facilities and in particular Felix the hotel manager gave us the warmest most beautiful welcome we have ever received. Thanks again, could not recommend enough!

Ich würde das Hotel nur für eine Zwischenstation empfehlen die Gegend ist zu abseits gelegen und wenig attraktiv.Es ist ein kleines Hotel die Zimmer sauber das Personal freundlich.Ich hatte zu Anfang keinen Tresor der mir aber dann freundlicherweise zur Vergüfung gestellt wurde ein kleiner Kühlschrank für kühle Getränke fehlt ganz. W - lan ist schwierig weil man alle Augenblicke einen neuen Code von der Rezeption besorgen muss..Ich habe nach ein paar Tagen das Hotel gewechselt und bin in das Grannbell Hotel umgezogen und habe es nicht bereut.Der Preis ist natürlich ein anderer.Wer von dem Hotel The Den nur seine geplanten Ausflüge zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten starten möchte und den Tag über eh unterwegs ist und nur eine einfache Übernachtung sucht für den ist das Hotel eine preisgünstige Alternative.Es gibt die Möglichkeit dort zu frühstücken und sich Abends dort was nach Karte zu bestellen.
Super freundliches Personal, das auch gerne aushilft und Tipps gibt. Sauberes Zimmer mit guter Klimaanlage und kleinem Balkon. Wegen Bauarbeiten war es morgens etwas laut, aber es war okay. Für 150 Rupien bekommt man ein großzügiges, frisches traditionelles Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse.
Es war ein unfassbar netter und sympathischer Service! Alle waren sehr bemüht und wir wurden mit hilfreichen Tipps unterstützt.
Ein schöner Aufenthalt und ein super Ausblick auf die Stadt (Dachterrasse).
Immer eine Empfehlung wert
Mycket bra hotel i centralt läge, personalen ger verkligen utmärkt service i hotellet och hjälper med allt.
Min fru fyllde år och hotell chefen hade köpt blommor till henne som överraskning. Detta hotel är verkligen utmärkt.
