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 had an unforgettable stay at this property, thanks to the exceptional hospitality of James. His kindness and attentiveness surpassed even the highest expectations of a personal butler. JAMES went above and beyond to cater to our every need, ensuring a truly personalized and comfortable experience. Even after our check-out, he continued to assist us in various ways, making our departure smooth and stress-free. From the bottom of our hearts, we extend our sincerest gratitude to James for making our stay so memorable.

Amazing! I am sorry we just stayed one night (before our flight) but this BB is simply amazing. Its owned by this cute family, always smiling, always helpful. We were a large group and all were overly content. It was clean, quiet and very modern. Breakfast were simply amazing! They make all your breakfast dreams come true (we were a group with a baby and also eldery couple). So would recommend 110%!
