I am a Sri Lankan expat from US, fairly well travelled in this segment of Sri Lankan boutique hotels. This was however my first time staying at Maniumpathy, as I typically stay with family when I'm in Colombo. This heritage boutique hotel is everything it's touted to be and more. I stayed for 4 nights with my dad who is 92 yrs and we had the most peaceful stay with customer service of the highest caliber, second to none. We also took this opportunity to host friends and family for dinner on all 4 nights anywhere up to 12 people. The staff who was extremely friendly, yet very professional in every sense, helped us plan these dinners so that my dad & I had a novel experience with each dinner. Front desk receptionist Ms. Arjumath, our house keeper Arjana & our butler Sanath Kuruppu deserve special mention. They truly are great ambassadors for Maniumpathy. I should also mention Shannon & Koshitha, the on site mangement team who worked with me from before our arrival to make our stay extra special and accomadated a few special requests of ours. We definitely look forward to staying at Maniumpathy during my future visits back home.

Maniumpathy is a lovely hotel and I highly recommend staying here. During breakfast I was trying to think of the best word to describe it - paradise (the earthly and ancient definition) seems most fitting. From the moment I arrived, after midnight, I was taken care of like a special guest, or a family member who had recently returned from a long stay away. I am thankful to Kuruppu who welcomed me and anticipated my every need and to Upul who took over and helped me learn more about the family and the property. Arjumath was so helpful, answering all of my (many) questions and arranging a tour of the city with a local tuk tuk driver. Kositha, the manager, is dedicated to making sure that every guest has the most pleasurable and comfortable experience. And Isuru helped make sure I felt welcome and cared for. I highly recommend a massage! Highly!! I have had many great massages but this massage from Rohana was probably the best!! The deep tissue massage was my selection and worth each of the 90 minutes!! Afterwards, I sat glowing as I sipped my herbal tea. Thank you to everyone.
