“Lovely and quaint stay with an amazing garden”

Reviewed 12 June 2013 NEW

Highbury is an amazing find in Colombo. It is nestled in a beautiful tropical garden away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The place epitomises the concept of a living environment in the tropics where the spaces are naturally ventilated and cooled. Rain or shine, you would simply enjoy appreciating the environment you are in. The room is... More

“perfect place to stay”

We stayed here on our last night in Sri Lanka. The staff were warm and very friendly. The owner even offered to take us into the city in his own car when no cabs were available! They also offered us a fantastic breakfast of traditional food - the best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka. We stayed in a great... More

I had a very pleasant stay at Highbury recently. I was visiting from USA and stayed there for 2 nights. The manager was very hospitable and went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable. The breakfast was great and it was definitely a home away from home. My room was clean and I loved the view and... More

“Not recommended”

I booked through Agoda (with taxes total was $39 per night). While I was there I asked about air-conditioning 'not available at that price'. Wi-Fi? 'Someone hacked our wifi and used the monthly quota' - not a plausible response as it could only be used within about 10 meters of the router. I could see by the total lack of... More

“Affordable & Quality”

Reviewed 22 May 2013

Whilst the accommodation is a little hard to find (street and houses not sign-posted very well) the place itself is great. Extremely quiet when you consider you are in a capital city with major traffic congestion. This is set back a few roads from the main route to Galle so offers a relaxed atmosphere. The room was well proportioned with... More
