CMB Stays is run by a Colombo local and frequent traveller who wanted somewhere with more space, better Wi-Fi and more freedom than a hotel room, and built it.
My background is in finance, and my work with multinational companies means frequent business travel. I also love visiting other countries to experience their culture and food. My travels have led me to different parts of the world such as the US, the UK, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, the Middle East, Singapore, Thailand, and Australia, and I have spent a lot of nights in hotel rooms.
Hotels are convenient. But on any trip longer than a night or two, I kept meeting the same problems: nowhere to sit but the bed, internet that dropped mid-call, and no way to make a simple meal on my own schedule.
So I set up the kind of place I look for when I travel. Somewhere with room to relax, a proper table to work at, a kitchen you can cook in and Wi-Fi you can rely on. Somewhere simpler and better value than a hotel.
The apartment will be clean, and it will match exactly what you see on this site.
Message me before or during your stay and I'll reply, usually the same day.
I know the neighbourhood. Ask me where to eat, how to get around or how to plan your onward trip.
Glen Studio is the first CMB Stays property: a 3-bedroom apartment in Colombo 4, a short walk from the sea. I set it up around what I value when I travel, which is space, flexibility and the comforts that make a stay easy.
Whether you are here for a few days, on business, or starting a journey around Sri Lanka, I hope it feels like your own place in Colombo.
Send us your dates and the number of guests. We'll confirm availability and the total price, usually the same day.
