You don't have to be a fan of the late and great Geoffrey Bawa to be enchanted by your stay at Home Number 11. It is a working museum to say the least. From the design to the art collection on every corner, the historical significance of the place is invaluable. Now if you happen to be a fan of the architect, then there is no greater privilege than staying at his home.

Had a wonderful stay at Sayura when I just arrived in Colombo. The house is beautiful and airy, and they even gave me the choice between two rooms. My room was super comfy and I loved the fact that they are very eco-conscious and give you a glass bottle with filtered water and products in big bottles. Also got really good coffee to prepare in my own room. On the property there is also a yummy Poke restaurant, perfect if you want something different than curries & Co. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and of course there is Max their lovely dog!

We really enjoyed our stay at Visakha 6. The room was clean and comfortable. We even watched a little of the TV that had a lot of channels. It was great for our first night stay in Colombo and Ben is a very nice host. Also well located on a quiet street, quite close to the coast and only 10 mins tuk tuk to the train station. Would definitely stay again!
