10/10
Initially I wanted to stay at the Hillstreet Villa for a few days only, but then I just stayed there throughout my 3 week visit. (Except a few days on trips outside of Colombo) Shamil is a lovely host who will help you out at any time. His staff is friendly and everything is always clean and in order. There is a nice little kitchen, free tea, fridge... everything you need. It is a quiet and safe place - the police station is actually next door ;-)
I recommend this place to anyone who likes an easy and affordable accommodation in a good area of town. It is a 5 minute-ride away from the beach, 7 minutes to Hotel Mt Lavinia, and even if you want to go all the way up to the harbour or the Galle Face, it'll be around 20 minutes (2€) in a Tuk Tuk.
There is some real good Biryani at Big Bite Biryani almost next door, 2 supermarkets...
I hope, you will enjoy this place as much as I do!
