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.

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.
