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. 🙏

Manoji and Manitha are a lovely couple and made me feel so welcomed and cared for in my first 24 hrs in Sri Lanka. They picked me up from the airport and were the perfect welcome to Colombo. the Highbury Colombo is a beautiful architecturally designed house and garden, and feels very secluded despite being in the big city. I had a very peaceful one night stay and a delicious homemade Sri Lankan breakfast in the morning before I left to the south coast. I would highly recommend the Highbury as a beautiful spot to stay in Colombo - I would absolutely go back :) thank you!

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.
