Does Colombo 07 have power cuts.
1 Answer from travellers
Colombo 07, also known as Cinnamon Gardens, is the most prestigious diplomatic and residential neighborhood in the capital. Even during the height of the past energy crisis, this area rarely lost power because it shares the grid with major hospitals and embassies. Today, the national power crisis is completely over, so your Airbnb will have perfectly uninterrupted electricity 24 hours a day.
