Staying at 55TG boutique from April 2nd to 3rd, 2025, was the perfect way to conclude our Sri Lankan adventure. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer! We arrived early from Tangalle, and the staff kindly allowed us an early check-in to our room, the "Art Suite with a beautiful Garden View". It was beautifully decorated, spacious, and impeccably clean. We initially found the wifi signal weak, but our host, Dilshan, immediately demonstrated his exceptional attentiveness by bringing a router directly to our room, which resolved the issue completely – we had a great connection afterwards! The service from Dilshan and his crew throughout our stay was outstanding; their attentiveness made us feel like we were guests in a 5-star restaurant. The food was another major highlight. While seafood wasn't available on the menu during our short stay, the team was very accommodating and even offered to purchase alcohol externally for us if needed. We had lunch, dinner, and breakfast there, and everything was absolutely delicious. The fish curry and rice at dinner was genuinely the BEST meal we had during our entire trip! They even made the setting incredibly romantic, decorating our table with rose petals. As if that wasn't enough, they surprised me on my birthday morning! I certainly wasn't expecting techno birthday music to accompany my scrumptious breakfast – it was such a fun and unexpected touch. It made our early departure for the airport feel even more bittersweet, and we truly wished we could have tipped Dilshan and the staff more generously for their fantastic service. The grounds were quiet and private, contributing to a very peaceful atmosphere and a great night's sleep. Our stay felt far too short but was simply wonderful. Our sincere compliments and thanks to everyone at 55TG boutique for making our stay so memorable and special. It was the perfect ending. (P.S.

We loved our stay in this hotel as it is located in a quieter and greener area which is nice in a loud and hectic city like Colombo. The owner and staff were super friendly and kind and went out of their way to help us. The beds were super comfy and the room spacious and overall the vibe was just relaxed and welcoming ☺️

Literally everything. Exceeded expectations in a, of course, good way. I don`t know where to start. We had no plan when we arrived in Colombo. Within hours after check-in, Suzette and Rajive helped us make the most of our Sri Lanka holiday. Strange but I felt from the moment I met Suzette and Rajive as if I had known them for many many years already. Suzette arranged transportation for us to go to Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Galle, and Yala and we were lucky enough to have a good and friendly driver, Sujith. I already miss them so much.

Modern apartment, beautifully furnished, wonderful view from the balcony, gym and swimming pool, on-site shop, security. But what we liked most was that there was a wonderful and extremely helpful person in the apartment (the apartment manager) who was extremely nice to us and took great care of us. She answered all our questions - about the route, sightseeing, helped us look for a tuk tuk to rent and an eSim card with Internet access. Thank you very much :)) you are wonderful!!!
