Everything! This was on my bucket list for a very long time. Spending a night in the very house that the legend Geoffrey Bawa lived & worked was in itself a moving experience. Beautifully maintained by the trust. Every corner, every piece of furniture & art has a story to tell. Staff is wonderful & breakfast was delicious. Can't wait to return to Colombo & stay here 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.

During our recent visit to Colombo, we had the pleasure of staying at Four Petals Hotel, where we experienced exceptional hospitality and comfort. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for by Kishan and his wife, who went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. The hotel's charming ambiance and attention to detail made us feel right at home. Every interaction with the staff reflected their dedication to guest satisfaction. We highly recommend Four Petals Hotel for anyone looking for a delightful stay in Colombo.

I had a wonderful stay here and will return if I have the opportunity. Benjamin is an extraordinary host and manager who offered travel advice, cooked the most amazing breakfasts, and made you feel right at home. The room was really cute and comfortable with a rain shower in the bathroom and good water pressure. I also liked the area where you could make a coffee. 10/10 and great value.
