Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The guest house features family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. Staying at this hotel was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. it truly felt like home, thanks to their warm and genuine hospitality. I have traveled many times and stayed in numerous hotels, but none have matched the comfort and care I found here. A heartfelt thanks to the owner, Mr. Shane, the manager, Sisira, and the entire staff, who went above and beyond to take care of me, especially when I was unwell. Their kindness and attentiveness made all the difference. The food is absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and prepared with so much attention to detail. The rooms are spotlessly clean, neat, and designed to provide maximum comfort. The environment is stunning, especially with the serene riverside view that adds so much charm and peace to the stay. What impressed me further was the reasonable pricing, which is more than justified for the exceptional service and experience they provide. For me, this place has become more than just a hotel—it’s my second home. Whenever I return to Sri Lanka, I won’t be looking for another place to stay, because I’ve already found the perfect one. 💖

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.

At the guest house, every unit has a desk. At the guest house, all units are soundproof. The units include a wardrobe.

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.
