    The staff was incredible, going above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. They even helped us navigate the train and ensured we got off at the right stop. The hotel itself is exceptionally clean with a comfortable bed and an amazing rooftop terrace. We would highly recommend this place to everyone!

    The hotel had a 24-hour front desk, which was great for my midnight cravings and constant need for assistance. The concierge service was extremely helpful in organizing my chaotic itinerary, and the ticket service saved me from waiting in long queues. Plus, they provided free WiFi. with a limit, of course.

    Oh, joy! A hotel with a WiFi limit! Because who needs unlimited access in this day and age?

    The staff was available 24/7, like they have no life outside the hotel. The airport was conveniently close, so it couldn't get easier to leave this place.

    The constant attention and convenience were just too much to handle, I almost forgot how to take care of myself.

    This hotel is conveniently located near the city center, making it easy to explore the area. There is also a supermarket nearby, making it convenient for families with small kids. The rooms are clean and spacious, with a well-equipped common kitchen area. The friendly Sri Lankan staff provides excellent service. The breakfast is delicious, and guests can enjoy free coffee and tea. The rooftop offers a stunning view of the high-rise skyline, providing privacy and comfort.

    One downside is that the internet is only available on the floor/room and not on the rooftop.

    I recently stayed at Den 23 and had an amazing experience throughout. The hotel was spotless, with comfortable beds and good AC. The room had all the facilities I needed, and the free wifi was reliable. The location was convenient, within walking distance to many sightseeing spots, and there was a supermarket next door for daily groceries. The rooftop terrace offered great views of the city, and breakfast there was delicious. The staff, including the manager Felix, were incredibly warm and helpful, going above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I also had the opportunity to meet other travelers and make new friends during my stay. I highly recommend Den 23 for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Colombo. Thank you, Felix, for your exceptional hospitality!

    The 24-hour front desk was great, I could pester them at all hours. And the airport transfers were so fun, I got to experience the thrill of being stuck in traffic twice!

    Oh, it was just delightful to ask the same question multiple times because the staff couldn't communicate. So efficient!
