Featuring a balcony with city views, a garden and a bar, Dolce Italia Rooms can be found in Colombo, close to Milagiriya Beach and 1.8 km from Bambalapitiya Railway Station. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The guest house features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Location is good for my purpose. The first breakfast I had was so substantial that I opted for not having the breakfast included in the comprehensive price and just had croissants and coffee instead - also excellent.

The air-conditioned guest house consists of 1 bedroom, a living room, a fully equipped kitchenette with a toaster and a coffee machine, and 1 bathroom with a bidet and slippers. A private entrance leads guests into the guest house, where they can enjoy some fruits. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and ironing service. 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.

St Anthony's Church is 43 km from the guest house, while Sinhalese Sports Club is 5.9 km away. The host was friendly, and the facilities were great especially the shower. The bed was a bit short though, I am 1,88m. Also there was a short narrow path you had to walk to get to the room and my 66L bag could only just fit in scratching the walls.
