About this place City Beds Colombo

City Beds Colombo is a budget hotel on Sir Chittampalam A. Gardiner Mawatha in Colombo 2, between Fort and the Slave Island area. It is a mainstream property listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue. Reviews average 4.0 across about 310 ratings, and there is no website on file, so booking platforms or a phone call are the way in. The location is central: Galle Face Green, Fort and the business district are close. Sri Lanka's penal code still criminalises same-sex acts. The law is rarely enforced against visitors, but discretion in public is advisable.

Honestly, I'm not sure if the location is good or bad. It's decent. I stayed here for one day each before and after arriving for my trip to Dambulla and Ella, and the single beds in the dormitory were the most usable. However, considering the price, the shower facilities are inconvenient, and some of the lockers are filled with miscellaneous items. The air conditioning is really cool. In fact, anyone who has traveled to Dambulla, Kandy, or Ella will know how important cool air conditioning is.

Stayed here for half a day as a transit place. The manager was quite polite and professional and gave us an early check-in. The hotel is not very fancy but perfect and comfortable for a transit as it is close to both the railway and bus stations. Dutch hospital and Galle Face are walkable. The rooms are basic but clean and the common washroom outside was super clean as well. Overall a great value for money.

I booked this hotel to use as a shower and luggage storage before my late-night flight to sightsee in Colombo, but since my flight was the next day, I ended up staying for one night. The room had a shower and toilet, so I had no problems at all. Of course, there was air conditioning, so it was cool. It was in a convenient location, and the staff were good. I think it's great to be able to stay so comfortably for 3500 rupees a night. I would highly recommend this hotel to budget travelers.

The location is good. The facilities are what you'd expect for the price, but there was a dead cockroach in the room, so my impression wasn't very good (this is probably just my personal opinion). There's air conditioning, and the room, toilet, and shower are reasonably clean. The location is good, but the atmosphere around the hotel is almost like a slum (I don't think it's unsafe, though). Compared to the majestic Hilton visible right across the street, it was a somewhat depressing environment.

The location is convenient, about a 10-minute walk from Fort Station. There are hardly any staff around, so you have to call them. The rooms are neither particularly good nor bad, but sufficient if you just need a place to sleep. It's convenient that there's water, an electric kettle, and knives in the common area (corridor). The tables are set up in the corridor, so it's not really a place to relax. The shower pressure is good and the temperature is fine. They also store luggage after check-out.
