With their curved domes, tall minarets and intricate mosaics, mosques are often some of the most exquisite buildings in a destination. Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque is a peaceful house of worship that attracts many tourists.

This Muslim temple is often on the itineraries of travelers to Pettah. But Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque isn't the only drawcard here. Colombo City Centre, Galle Face Green, and Galle Face Beach are some other worthwhile sights close by.

7.6/10 Good! (169 reviews)

The hallmark of the hotel is the staff. Amazing friendliness, very accommodative and made us feel very much at home. Hotel overall was convenient and did justice to our stay. Check in was delayed for at least 45 minutes. It didn’t appear to be busy at the reception. Restaurant: Dinner was quite good with a well planned menu. Much variety and on point when it came to taste. Desserts could be better as seemed to be in the same spectrum. Breakfast could have been better on quality. Rooms were good sized, beds with average comfort. TV remote did not work but didn't really use it. Bathroom was well equipped. Showers with good pressure and wonderful hot water. Could have better utility for hanging towels and hooks for cloth storage. Would like to come back and enjoy the hospitality again.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (39 reviews)

Fabulous room, very tastefully appointed, with a huge bed and good size en-suite shower room. The staff are, without exception, friendly helpful and obliging. The architecture is unusual, attractive and interesting, with a little bit of a safari lodge feel to it. The villa is a little bit remote but there is easy access to local facilities via taxi, or Tuk Tuk. Our only slight disappointment was the limited range of choice from the menu available in the evenings and the portions were sometimes less than might be expected. In summary, a fabulous place to relax for a few days among quiet surroundings and you may be lucky to have some interesting wildlife visitors.

You have to walk to get to the actual mosque from the nearest road (Tuks cannot park close by).
