The Lake Lodge is a fantastic place to stay, the rooms are extremely comfortable and well appointed and the staff are excellent, very helpful and very friendly.||The on site restaurant is exceptional (Table at Nyne is also bookable by non-residents and we saw a number of non-residents dining here) and they clearly have a chef and kitchen staff that are way beyond what you might normally expect in an onsite restaurant, the menu is very well priced and very broad and the quality of the food is just amazing. Breakfast is included and comprises a fruit platter, toast, fresh juice, coffee/tea and a choice from a menu (which ranges from pancakes to full english!). The restaurant waiting staff are also very, very good and reinforce what a great dining experience is to be had here. In addition to the restaurant there is a bar area where you can just chill with a drink.||This is not a big hotel (I'd classify it as a boutique hotel), which suited us perfectly, and it is tucked away from the general Colombo mania, but everything in and around Colombo (and beyond) is easily accessible from the hotel and the staff are only too happy to help organise anything you might want to do (which for us included a visit to the Elephant orphanage in Pinnawala and a Colombo city tour by tuk tuk). The accommodation itself is of a very high standard with large bedroom (king size bed) and large en-suite washroom, free wi-fi, cable TV and coffee/team making. Fresh mineral water is provided daily (or as often as you request it) and there is a (hidden) fridge in the room so anything can be kept chilled (though the in-room aircon will do that too!).||This was our first visit to Sri Lanka and we would love to come back, we would definitely stay at the Lake Lodge again because it really helped to make the stay memorable and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit Colombo.
