De Saram House, designed by Geoffrey Bawa, is often described as a beautiful and comfortable space, offering spacious rooms-some featuring an outdoor shower. Guests frequently appreciate the building's architecture and the sunlight-filled dining room where breakfast is served; the location in Colombo 7 is also seen as a plus for exploring nearby attractions, though some have noted that the property could benefit from some upgrades. The master bedroom on the second floor, with its balcony overlooking the lovely garden, is particularly memorable for many visitors.

architectural gem stay

salon observation senior housekeeper tuk-tuk taxi
I stayed in a room upstairs. It was like the biggest one. i enjoyed sitting in the salon, observing the light shift during the night and breakfast. the senior housekeeper, antony, showed me around the house and explained how to use the meter to call a tuk-tuk taxi.
the extra pillows in the closet lacked pillow covers and the blankets felt very old.
