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.

It was a great stay! I want to particularly emphasize the friendliness and professionalism of staff members, and particularly the manager, and their hard work in keeping the place cozy and clean. Cat and dog lovers will also be pleasantly surprised with sweet pets sometimes coming to the property. Overall, clean, friendly, and great value for money. The location is also good, with grocery shops, coffee shops, and restaurants within walking distance.

We did enjoy our stay! A bed was very comfortable, and a room was equipped with everything necessary. Janaka is the host, who took a very good care of us! We received a beautiful plate of local fruits as a welcome gift. And other treats that were served in a very cute way. Janaka was always there to help us out when we needed it, despite the fact that his English is not very good. Also, the owner Ruvan was also very helpful, and we could contact him anytime for extra questions.
