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!

This was the most unique accomodation we stayed at on the whole trip. I've read in some other reviews this was a hidden gem, and a gem it is! We got a room upgrade just because, the breakfast was amazing, the pool and sauna area really nice and the staff super attentive! Great relaxing time in Colombo before taking our flight back home. Wish we could have stayed longer! :)

This is a cute place with all facilities you would require for a leisure trip. The host, Gamini is exceptionally helpful and helped us a lot with finding a car for our further travels. Also, us being a group of vegetarians, it is very hard to find vegetarian breakfast, but Gamini incorporated all our requests for our breakfast! The place is also very close to the city center and we enjoyed the views in the mornings on the rooftop.

IGN Residence Colombo

Colombo

A recently renovated property, IGN Residence Colombo is situated in Colombo near Bambalapitiya Beach, Bambalapitiya Railway Station and Barefoot Gallery.

At IGN Residence Colombo, my travelled needs were exceeded beyond expectation. It is a beautiful colonial-style building. Usually the most important quality for me as a single, woman traveler, is the safety of the accommodation and the immediate vicinity. Secondly I look for exceptional service. Relaxation means not having to do what is expected of me at home. Handcrafted furnishings and choice appointments complemented the discrete aura of these private lodgings. Seeing brand new furniture and towels was a pleasant surprise. In the kitchen, there was also fresh Italian coffee. Located on the central avenue of the city, the house is close to a shopping center, pharmacies, restaurants, and art galleries. It is possible to walk to all necessary places. I found walking along the avenue to be very convenient.
