We booked very late notice due to flight delay and getting into Colombo late. He cooked us traditional Sri Lankan food and it was absolutely superb! He was kind and very accommodating. A very pleasant stay. Would highly recommend. He also organised a well priced taxi to Sigiriya in the morning

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 here for 2 nights. We really liked this place - it is not far from the center and it is very quiet and private. The room has all the necessities you need for your stay - a comfy bed, working A/C, regrigerator and even a sofa. The bathroom even has a small fan to help drying the place. Usually there is no staff, but at least once a day there is someone around to ask you if you need water, cleaning the room or anything else. There are plenty of restaurants and cafés around the place and the sights are only a short tuk tuk ride away - and thanks to Uber, getting a ride is much easier these days ;-) Thank you for the 3 bottles of water we got each day and the fruit basket - that was a nice additional treat.
