Thank you very much to Dushy and Dinesh from Uga Residence. Words will not be enough to describe how thankful we are for the lovely evening that it turned out to be. From planning the event within a couple of months and the assistance and flexibility of Dushy, Dinesh and the rest of the Uga staff is unmatched. Very friendly staff who run a beautiful property in the heart of Colombo. I would definitely have another function there as there is such an amazing team to bring it together. A very big thank you once again to Dushy, Dinesh and the entire team at Uga.
A beautiful boutique hotel within the ever-buzzing city of Colombo. The atmosphere was calm and elegant with a stunningly decorated courtyard. The hotel has a calm intimate vibe and would be a perfect place for a date night. We went for a very late high tea around 6.00 pm. There were a variety of items to taste. While the bread items could improve its texture as they were pretty dry (Maybe because it was a late high tea and the items were prepared earlier), the meat and dessert items were super delicious. Would certainly come back for the scones and caramel éclair (a true chef’s kiss). The service is truly commendable. Should specifically mention ‘Sithija’ of the front office as he did not refuse our request to arrange a late high tea though the hotel had its standard timings for it. And called us before our reservation slot and made sure we arrived right on time. The rest of the staff was also friendly and welcoming. Loved the hospitality and appreciate the great service provided by Sithija, and Shan who was our server for the evening. Overall we had a wonderful time and would certainly come back once again. …
Long overdue review, we stayed there on 9th May 2022 for our honeymoon, we were almost going to cancel our stay due to the unrest situation in Colombo but when we called the hotel Sithija from the Front desk confirmed that the situation was fine around the hotel and they will take care of us throughout the stay. When we arrived at the property Sithija welcomed us and gave all information regarding the safety measures the hotel will take in case of an emergency. We were given a delicious cake and fruits upon arrival to the room. The bed was decorated and it was a memorable stay. They were also flexible and allowed us to have our meals in our room itself. Loved the hospitality and great service provided by Sithija and the whole Uga Residence team. Highly recommended to honeymoon couples. Will visit back once we're back in Sri Lanka.…
The ambiance of the place was great. The food was exceptional and the service provided by Dinesh and the team at Uga was great. Overall we had a wonderful time at Uga. Would definitely be back and recommend the place to anyone.
Best Hotel in Colombo! 5 or 6 times there. Anytime in colombo, will go there. No doubts. Great rooms, great restaurant, amazing service, Hotel manager is the best, and they always care about the guests
4 yers after COVID we travelled to Sri Lanka. Every time we come to SL we stay our few days at Uga residence. Always welcome us like their family. Thank you Dushyantha (resident manager) for looking after us. Uga kept their standards up to date with difficult few years of unpredictable nature of tourism. We have been transferred to Tintagel after day due to a total hotel by out for a wedding. Dushyantha and the team did everything they could to accommodate us without any disappointment. Thank you to management at Tintagel for upgrading us to Royal villa. Food and drinks (their arrack cocktails) are really great. Thank you Manjula (group executive chef) for all the lovely meals and takeaway lime pickle bottle. We wish you all the best and looking forward to our next visit.
We visited with friends Yday for brunch & the services and quality of food was exceptionally good. The amenities of the place was beautiful & food serving portion size, price and taste was exceptional . Looking forward to our next visit and experiencing new Cusine .
We choose Residence by Uga Escapes as our destination vow renewal venue. We did not regret our decision! Our stay was seamless, the food was excellent, service was world class. It was a quiet and relaxing oasis in the heart of Colombo. Dinesh & Ashan together with the F&B team, and chef Manjula made sure our evening event was as we had planned and dreamed of. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much for an excellent stay and we look forward to being back!
After spending 10 days traveling through Sri Lanka, we stayed in Colombo for the last night. The accommodation was fantastic, big rooms perfectly equipped in a very classy style. Everything was of high quality and very clean. However, what made our stay so special was the amazing service. The staff was very friendly, helpful and offered an outstanding service. In particular Faiz helped us during through our stay even late in the night.
We decided on Sri Lanka for our honeymoon. We flew from New York to Colombo. It was a 24 hour journey and by the end of it, we were quite tired. Uga Residences was the perfect way to spend our first couple of nights in Sri Lanka. We were greeted with fresh juice, a huge suite (and we mean HUGE), and helpful staff. The rooms were clean, spacious, and had everything you might want for a relaxing, high end experience. The bartenders, Jai and Shawn (not sure of the spelling), were engaging and informative. While making delicious drinks, they talked to us about everything from the economic situation to our plans in Sri Lanka to the native fruits and herbs used in the cocktails. The restaurant manager (whose name escapes us) made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant (Rare) provided some of the best meal included breakfast we've ever had. The executive chef came out to introduce himself and ask for feedback on the meals. The front desk attendant (whose name also escapes us) was friendly, good natured, and made transfers to the train station incredibly easy. For us as honeymooners, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Would recommend for anyone trying to do something special for their getaway to Sri Lanka.…
