What a wonderful find! A little piece of paradise tucked away in the corner of the older residential area of Colombo. Steeped in what makes Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka, warm hospitality and the laid back charm of inside outside spaces, surrounded by beautiful gardens and birdlife.

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.
