Our second stay at Sayura book-ended our SL tour - a great choice for this. Gamini (Manager) is an amazing host, room great value for money, clean and well-maintained. We ate at @Pokebowl65 and enjoyed our dinner too. Easy access by car and tuktuk - would definitely return if we come back to Colombo. Highly recommend.

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.
