I cannot recommend this guest house enough! As I was travelling alone and in Sri Lanka for the first time I found the warm welcome and kind hospitality of all those at the Garden Guest house particularly reassuring. I was welcomed into this charming home and made to feel like one of the family by hosts who take genuine pride... more

The guest house provided a 'home from home' in the centre of Colombo, where I was treated with incredible warmth and generosity by my hosts. Mrs de Fonseka and her family were attentive but not intrusive, and the surroundings were aimed at relaxation and a friendly atmosphere in which to share their wonderful Sri Lankan hospitality. I have stayed in... more

Pros- I stayed for three nights in one of the upstairs rooms. The room was huge, several kids beds in the anteroom, perfect for a family or palatial for just me. Sit down meals, great conversation with the owner and other guests too. The owner (Mrs. de Fonseka) was very helpful in arranging a tuktuk driver for the day, and... more

Garden Guest House has a convenient location in Colombo, quiet yet within a reasonable walk to most locations in Colombo. Otherwise a short tuk-tuk ride. The service really was over the top, everytime you walked out of your room, even for meals, it was serviced! Absolutely spotless with friendy hosts and brilliant food. Try the local food rather than the... more

The lovely family running this charming guest house in a quiet neighborhood gives the traveller an experience that is fast disappearing from this world. Chitrangi de Fonseka, her son Chitrupa, and her sister Srini show guests the graciousness of a bygone era. Their dining table and five-star, attentive staff represent the golden days of the Sri Lankan plantation life they... more

We were in Sri Lanka for a total of 9 nights in March, 2009, and we used the Garden Guest house for six of those nights and as a base while visiting the island. The other nights were spent touring Sri Lanka. We were told about this hidden gem by family members, and were amazed by every aspect of our... more
