We were only here for one night and an early morning the next day however the staff were lovely and the rooms were fantastic. Super clean and easy to check in. Thank you for packing a breakfast super early the morning after. Would love to come back in the future.

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 love this accommodation. Room is not so much big, but it's so comfortable for staying night time. Hot water, air conditioner, bed sheets and steps are all amazing! Especially I like the way to approach to this place, it's so lovely. The atmosphere is like a small forest or secret garden. So if you want to stay at sweet place with small budget, you must be here!! 😍👍
