Private home belonging to gracious lady. I was given a large room upstairs. Everything in the room was pink or red and decor was somewhat outdated. The room also had attached bathroom. The house was kept spotlessly clean by housekeeper. I did feel uncomfortable that everytime I left the room someone went in there to clean up. Also the room... More

We stayed for 2 nights in March, enjoyed Colombo and found the B&B friendly and welcoming. Just what we wanted after a long flight from England. But what made it extra special was Chitrupa. Nothing was too much trouble for him, from taking us to restaurants and advising on what to see and do in Colombo, to going to extraordinary... More

Very nice guesthouse with very very sweet family, although it feels like you are in someone's house: the cushions, the cuddling toys, the photos... Our room was, interesting. An en-suite double bedroom, with a bunk bed on the other side of the room. Everything was pink- bedding, cushions, those fake silk flowers. We didn't get a key and our room... More

Run by a very friendly and incredibly helpful family. The son went out if his way to help, suggesting a wonderful seafood restaurant to eat at and booking us a table too. A little out if town but no big deal in a world of tuk tuks. A/C and free wifi are always a winner as well More

Suppose the Queen Mother, Laura Ashley and Vivienne Westwood meet up and decide to create a B&B. The result would be the Garden Guest House. The eclectic, floral and surely matchless furnishings (you must go for the Pink Room) introduces you to the world of two extremely kind and sweet ladies who take the best possible care of their guests....

We spent 2 nights at Garden Guest House, Colombo. One on arrival and the second on departure. Even though we arrived at an ungodly hour, the family was up to welcome us in their house. The rooms are comfortable, warm and with a view of the garden. The toilets are clean and fresh After 3 days in a hotel, we... More

We decided to fly a day earlier in to colombo so needed to find somewhere to stay.\ Found this place. We were picked up from the airport by the owner at a fair price. Nice air conditioned car in the heat of the day. When we arrived we were greeted by the entire family who made us feel very welcome... More
