It there were 6 stars, they’d get every one and have earned it. Beautiful place. Amazing staff. Buffets are delicious and plentiful. Rooftop (pool, spas, park, bar…) are incredible. Bridge to mall with restaurants, spa, movie theater, shops… Hotel offers free City Tours daily. 10 minutes south with hotel shuttle and you are at the Marino Beach Lounge (right on the beach)…perfect spot. Staff are some of the nicest people I’ve met One of my favorite places in my travels. 🙏

Welcoming and calm. Highbury Colombo is like a sea of tranquility. Manuji and her husband are attentive hosts and the space with garden is really beautiful. My room was excellent and food (lunch and breakfast the next day) was delicious. Highly recommend this place

The way the hosts and their family made me feel home away from home. As a picky person, I never felt a moment of discomfort. Right from checking in to checking out, everyone was helpful. I'll be checking in again towards the end of my trip.

We arrived late in the evening and had to catch an early bus the following morning. They were up to greet us in the evening and provided an amazing Sri Lankan breakfast at 6am before our bus. The place itself was very clean and tidy, would highly recommend. Thank you.
