Nice and homely but with a designer touch. The property is lovely with many places to relax. Can be peaceful and listen to the birds and yet be down town Colombo in 10 minutes. Well worth the money we paid and hosts seemed genuine and friendly

guesthouse with charm
small boutique guesthouse, friendly owner, convenient & quiet location
8
We enjoyed our two nights at the Highbury, the lady owner woked up to welcome us when we arrived very late at night and organised a great breakfast for us the following morning. The location was very quiet in a busy/noisy Colombo and the urban suite was very large and comfortable. Recommended for travellers who enjoy a personal touch

Beautiful set up
It's a guest house more than a hotel. It's wonderful furnished, with a tranquil setting and great hosts.

Very nice altogether. We only spent 1 night when transferring back to the airport.

The guesthouse is very nice,clean,the location is good if you want some rest.
The family which runs the house is nice but the place is a little bit overpriced for what you have.

Dirty room, breakfast overpriced and stingy.
3.3
Stayed in Heritage room for 3 nights, it was dirty and never clened once while I was there.
Quiet area but nothing around it so you'll end up spending a lot of time travelling in tuk tuks to get anywhere, and the drivers don't know where the place is so you'll need to guide them back.
Breakfast is vastly overpriced and very stingy. 800 ruppes for egg, tea and toast is taking the piss.

what a lovely place
what a surprise: a serene garden, wonderful detailed architecture with an inner courtyard, beautiful furniture, everything very tasteful and elegant!
9.3
we enjoyed our stay at the highbury colombo very much - a very familiar but discrete atmosphere in an architectural interesting house, lovely detailed. we were lucky to get the tower room - it felt as if in the treetops. we were waking to the sound of birds in the morning and a lovely view over a silhouette of roofs, only in the distance was a hint of traffic to be heard. the room and the house was very tastefully furnitured, there was even a piano. we had a real good coffee in the morning! thank you!

very friendly and helpful owner/manager
Very acomodating and helpful owner and breakfast was delicious
9
We arrived very late, after midnight and the owner had waited up to greet us and offer us a drink. The next morning we were offered a delicious Sri lankan breakfast and the owner then helped us with our travel arrangements as we were fining it very hard to figure out the ropes of how to get around in Sri lanka. I appreciated her help and patience very much especially as it was our first stop!
