“I found The Ocean Front to be a surprisingly good deal in Colombo, especially given its location right on the water and close to, well, everything. I like that it's boutique in feel, and the staff seems genuinely helpful, even if breakfast isn't included. For a solo traveler, a clean, spacious room and a reliable shower go a long way, and this place delivers both.”
