It was marvelous to experience Geoffrey Bawa's eyes and soul through this stay. Extremely relaxing and beautiful, through out the space and breakfast. The housekeeper Rohana was surprisingly impressive in his hospitality and professional at touring Bawa's residence. Definitely will visit 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.

The owner was so lovely and always there to help when needed. The rooms were clean and comfortable and had everything I needed! Bathroom was good and the shower was lovely with good pressure and temperature! Location was perfect and so close to many places included the Havelock city mall. There was also a kitchen to use which was great! Such a lovely place to stay for a good price would highly recommend!

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%!
