Featuring a terrace and views of garden, Highbury Colombo is a recently renovated homestay set in Colombo, 1.1 km from Milagiriya Beach. With a garden, the 4-star homestay has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Apart than the house being really beautiful, each time discovering another artistic detail, the location was perfect and central to beach and touristic attractions yet also a high end residential area. I asked for a pancake breakfast and it was delicious and the hosts were a couple that were inviting, friendly and always eager to help. I unfortunately only booked 2 nights but upon arrival I took pictures of this gem and sent it to my close friends. I am lucky to have found this place and will most certainly come back

There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Everything from start to finish, from the spacious and comfortable room. The location is great, quiet and safe. Guyathri was kind and welcoming. An incredible conversationalist. She gave me a wonderful list of places to visit in Colombo. Ended my journey at Barefoot gallery/cafe. Highly recommend. Read a review about the blinds and there wasn’t an issue.

Featuring a balcony with city views, a garden and a bar, Dolce Italia Rooms can be found in Colombo, close to Milagiriya Beach and 1.8 km from Bambalapitiya Railway Station. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The guest house features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Location is good for my purpose. The first breakfast I had was so substantial that I opted for not having the breakfast included in the comprehensive price and just had croissants and coffee instead - also excellent.
