“Calm and relaxing”
Beautiful accomodation in a quiet neighbourhood of Colombo. Fairly close to everything (10 min tuk tuk ride). The room was decorated beautifully, I was surprised with how big the room was. Super comfortable. I also had lunch at the cafe downstairs and it was amazing. All the staff was very attentive.

“Loved it, will recommend to anyone staying in Colombo”
It was a great place to stay at the beginning and end of our trip in Sri Lanka. The cafe was lovely and staff really friendly and welcoming. It was a good location and off the Main Street so fairly quiet except the odd construction sound.

“Would highly recommended - a great place to stay!”
It was peaceful, private, very clean, minimalist style - overall a great relaxing vibe in Colombo. With the added bonus of the fantastic Cafe Kumbuk just downstairs! And the staff were very friendly.
