When travelling, especially to a foreign country, making a decision on what type of accommodation to choose can be difficult. This is especially true when there are so many options, such as hotels, hostels, apartments and villas. Here we will discuss some of the pros and cons of self catering accommodation when travelling to Colombo in Sri Lanka.

The first pro of self catering is that it is often cheaper than other accommodation options. This is especially true when travelling as a group, as you can divide the cost between everyone. Additionally, you have more space to yourself than you would in a hotel room, which can be great for families or groups.

The second pro of self catering is that you have more freedom and flexibility in terms of what you can do and where you can go. With a hotel, you are often restricted to the hotel grounds, but with an apartment or villa you can explore the city and the surrounding areas. This means that you can see more of Colombo and its surrounds than you would if you were staying in a hotel.

The third pro of self catering is that you can cook your own food. This can be a great way to save money, and it also means that you can eat what you want, when you want. This can be especially important if you have dietary restrictions or allergies.

The fourth and final pro of self catering is that it can be a great way to get to know the local culture. This is because you are living in the same place as the locals and you can interact with them more easily than you would if you were in a hotel.
