    Awesome spot to kick off or conclude your Sri Lanka visit. Staff were warm and welcoming, and a particular shoutout to Kaushalya who was super helpful ( and who sorted me out with an amazing room with a view of the ocean!). Views from the rooftop are quality, and if there's a breeze, make sure to checkout the heated jacuzzi on the gym floor instead. 5 stars - thanks

    I had a wonderful stay at Occazia Residence in Colombo! The accommodations were comfortable and clean, but what truly made our stay stand out was the exceptional service from Raj, our butler. He went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met and made us feel right at home. Thank you, Raj, for your outstanding hospitality! I would highly recommend Occazia Residence to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Colombo.
