What - Toilets in Colombo 
When - When nature calls 

Today on WTF, we wanted to answer a very important question that’s considered taboo. We will never speak about it, and this is about that time when nature calls. We have all had the urge hit us, and when you have to go, you have to go wherever, whenever. And this is my everyday battle as I live so far away and I need to make many places my home-sweet restroom. 

I’m a true Sri Lankan and no amount of dry paper is going to make me feel like I’ve achieved a clean behind. I believe in washing. If there is no water, I buy my water and use a 1L bottle for a clean ending. Now, as we all know the public toilets aren’t like the ones in Germany, the interior décor of our ones have too many contributors. So as a sensible young man, I believe in giving my posterior the best possible thrones, which is why I hit up the hotels, shops and restaurants to do my business. 

So I visited a few places in Colombo to give you a line up for a quick relief. 

1. The Kingsbury Hotel 

Love the interior, and ample amount of tissue but they have removed the bidet shower! I can understand, because some people have a full body bath. 

I give it a 7/10. 

2. Taj Samudra 

One of my favourite places. It’s clean and it’s tucked far away from the lobby so no one sees you when you have to make the run. I love the lighting, which is perfect for a good selfie and it always smells great. 

I give it a 10/10. 

3. ODEL 

I have always been inspired by the standard of the loo, as they had only one for a long time, but with the new management and the café outside they have introduced one male and two female loos. I would like it if it’s maintained well, and they could have worked on building urinals and not only single loos. 

I have to give it a 5/10. 

4. Subway at Walukarama Road 

For me, this is my getaway place. I love the fact that no one sees where you are and what you are up to. It’s such a silent spot. I have come up with some amazing ideas there. One disadvantage: no water, but the Little Food Cabin is just across to help you out with some bottles of H20. 

I give it a 6/10. 

5. Liberty Plaza 

So with the Liberty makeover, I expected better but the 1st floor toilet has been given a bit of an upgrade. But to make maintenance simpler, they had a brainwave and just took the seats off the commodes so less clean up work. But for the rest of us, all the best breathing in there! 

I just can’t rate this, because I have not given anything below 0. 

But remember, we are all Sri Lankans, if all else fails, find a BIG tree!

Happy Pooping!
