Welcoming and calm. Highbury Colombo is like a sea of tranquility. Manuji and her husband are attentive hosts and the space with garden is really beautiful. My room was excellent and food (lunch and breakfast the next day) was delicious. Highly recommend this place

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.
