I got wine and chocolate Canolo and got breakfast in the morning, everything was yummy. I wish I could have a more time to enjoy the room and Italian food. I will definitely come back again.

Each room is fitted with a private bathroom. Beautiful property with a lovely view of the ocean from the rooftop - all the staff were welcoming and went out of their way to be kind and helpful! Rooms had AC and were nice and cold and they have a good location on a more private road, very close to places you can buy SIM cards if at the start of your stay 😌😌

Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The guest house features family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. Staying at this hotel was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. it truly felt like home, thanks to their warm and genuine hospitality. I have traveled many times and stayed in numerous hotels, but none have matched the comfort and care I found here. A heartfelt thanks to the owner, Mr. Shane, the manager, Sisira, and the entire staff, who went above and beyond to take care of me, especially when I was unwell. Their kindness and attentiveness made all the difference. The food is absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and prepared with so much attention to detail. The rooms are spotlessly clean, neat, and designed to provide maximum comfort. The environment is stunning, especially with the serene riverside view that adds so much charm and peace to the stay. What impressed me further was the reasonable pricing, which is more than justified for the exceptional service and experience they provide. For me, this place has become more than just a hotel—it’s my second home. Whenever I return to Sri Lanka, I won’t be looking for another place to stay, because I’ve already found the perfect one. 💖

The air-conditioned guest house consists of 1 bedroom, a living room, a fully equipped kitchenette with a toaster and a coffee machine, and 1 bathroom with a bidet and slippers. A private entrance leads guests into the guest house, where they can enjoy some fruits. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and ironing service. At IGN Residence Colombo, my travelled needs were exceeded beyond expectation. It is a beautiful colonial-style building. Usually the most important quality for me as a single, woman traveler, is the safety of the accommodation and the immediate vicinity. Secondly I look for exceptional service. Relaxation means not having to do what is expected of me at home. Handcrafted furnishings and choice appointments complemented the discrete aura of these private lodgings. Seeing brand new furniture and towels was a pleasant surprise. In the kitchen, there was also fresh Italian coffee. Located on the central avenue of the city, the house is close to a shopping center, pharmacies, restaurants, and art galleries. It is possible to walk to all necessary places. I found walking along the avenue to be very convenient.

At the guest house, every unit has a desk. At the guest house, all units are soundproof. The units include a wardrobe.

St Anthony's Church is 43 km from the guest house, while Sinhalese Sports Club is 5.9 km away. Cleanest place I have ever lived in entire Sri Lanka. It’s really spotless with all (shared) amenities you would ever need for a short stay: immaculate bathroom, kitchen, living room etc. I visited Colombo to extend my visa only to I discover that immigration was closed for public holidays.. this place was such a relief. The owners are super helpful too. Highly recommend it. 🤗
