    The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel has a roof terrace with a beautiful view of the city. There is also a kitchen you can use by yourself, or you have an option for breakfast which was very tasty (both, continental and Sri Lankan). The hotel staff is super friendly, especially the manager Mr. Felix who will help you with anything you need and give you useful advice (in fluent English) if you are a first-time visitor to Sri Lanka.

    The Host Felix went above and beyond to make us feel at home. He organized everything and even special requests were no problems at all. We hab a late checkout and extra blankets. The breakfast was very good I would definitely recommend this hotel for a stay in Colombo! Thank you very much, Felix

    We chose this stay based on reviews, and are so glad we did. Felix, the manager, is the heart and soul of Den 23 and he goes above and beyond to make sure guests' trips are the best they can be. Felix gave our kids sparklers and marbles for Christmas, and gave us lots of tips and advice. The other staff work hard to keep the place clean and keep the guests well-fed. We really enjoyed our breakfasts and dinner here on the amazing rooftop patio, with the best view of the lotus tower. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with cool AC and hot showers. Look no further for the best place to begin or end your Sri Lanka adventure.

    A bit pricy for a typical backpacker budget but very worth the money. Felix is such a great host and has so many things to offer during our stay in Colombo. The place was amazing, felt like it was a nice hotel. Clean rooms, with towel, hot water, AC and tv. Comfortable bed. Theres also free-to-use kitchen, lounge area and a wonderful rooftop. Very kind staff too, offered us cold drinks upon arrival. Accepts credit cards too
    First place that has a wifi limit
