Everything was great , the apartment was very clean and comfortable, with all the electrical appliances one might need. When I wanted to do the laundry, I noticed there were no detergents, but as soon as I mentioned it to the manager, Mr. Yasas, he immediately provided everything. Excellent service and highly recommended.

The property is absolutely breathtaking. Spotlessly clean and very tastefully designed and decorated. Manoji and her husband are exceptional hosts: Manoji’s thoughtfulness and care (and her cooking lessons!) made the space feel like home. Highbury is a short tuktuk ride away from the Gallery Cafe and Geoffrey Bawa’s Residence (No. 11). Would definitely return to Highbury if I’m ever back in Colombo!

This place was stunning and what made it even more exceptional was the staff, from reception to the cooks, waiters and security, nothing was ever too much trouble. The rooftop pool was amazing especially after a hot day sightseeing. Would definitely come back here.

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.

This place is great, perfect location for everything you would want to see in Colombo and if you have Uber can get to places very easily and for very little money(a lot cheaper than flagging down random tuk tuks) Hotel rooms are modern and very clean. The rooftop pool/jacuzzis are a vibe, great for relaxing and all staff super friendly and accommodating.
