Colombo, located on the southwestern coast of Sri Lanka, is the country's largest city and its commercial capital. If you're looking for a place to stay in Colombo, you have a few choices: you can stay in a hotel, a guesthouse, or an apartment. Here's a look at some of the pros and cons of each option.
Staying in a hotel in Colombo is a great option if you want to be in the heart of the city and close to all the action. Most of the city's major attractions are within walking distance of the hotels in the central business district. However, hotels can be quite expensive, especially during peak season.
If you're looking for a more affordable option, you can stay in a guesthouse. Guesthouses are typically smaller and more intimate than hotels, and they offer a more home-like experience. Many guesthouses are located in quieter neighborhoods outside the central business district, which can be a great thing if you're looking for some peace and quiet. However, guesthouses don't offer the same level of amenities as hotels.
If you're looking for the most affordable option and you don't mind staying a bit outside the city center, you can stay in an apartment. Apartments offer a kitchen and living area, which can be great if you want to save money on meals. And since apartments are typically in residential neighborhoods, you'll be able to experience authentic Sri Lankan life.
