It was a dream to stay in such a beautiful, meditative, artistic home! Priyantha and the staff were lovely, breakfast was amazing, I really hope to get back one day. Wonderful place, especially if you're a writer or creative, very inspiring.

This place is an oasis in Colombo. We just had one overnight after our arrival at Colombo airport. It’s about 45min from the airport (wo. traffic jam). The interieur and garden area of the boutique hotel is really nice. The staff was very friendly and supportive. The Sri Lankan breakfast is a recommendation.

The place is really nice and they also have a restaurant which is really good! We had an issue with a tuktuk that tried to scam us, and the hotel staff helped us to fix the issue. We've been treated so well! Definetely, I would come back again.

Looking for history without kitsch I discovered this discrete Guesthouse . Away from the crowds of Colombo, the spacious room and antique charm gave me a fantastic rest after exploring Sri Lanka’s capital. With all the qualities of a classic hotel I could enjoy style and comfort while maintaining the privacy of home.

We stayed two nights at Greenscape. The personal was so helpful, and always ready to answer questions. The room was big, clean and nicely ventilated. We enjoyed our stay so much, and would recommend. The place is a Tuktuk ride away from the city, so easy access. Its a quiet area and a small walk away from restaurants

We stayed one night at Visakha 6 while transiting in Colombo. The room was small, but very clean, actually even better than in the pictures. The shower was great, wi-fi and A/C worked well, there was also drinking water available. We are greatful to mr Benjamin for a late check-in, nice breakfast and a warm welcome. Great place for a short stay.
