A little difficult to find...it is behind a very plain facade, but once inside it was a modern and elegant oasis in the city. Very calming and comfortable lobby. Gamini,, the manager, was so hospitable. They will prepare (with notice) lunch and dinner and you can eat in your room or the dining room. Nice refreshing swimming pool...part of the reason I booked here. My ground floor room had a private walled garden with a bench...so romantic. The room was modern and spotless. They had the best towels, pillows, and blankets of my trip thus far. I hated to leave...but will be back

    A very cosy hotel in the center of large Colombo, with walking distance to one of the lakes and some temples near by. The staff is very friendly and can help give tips and plan a route around the island. Breakfast was good, and fun to try some true Sri Lankan breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay.

    We loved the beautiful decoration style of the hotel - it was very charming. It’s situated in a very quiet area, away from any main roads.The pool/garden area looked beautiful, especially at nighttime, and while we didn’t get to use the pool, it felt very private. The owner & staff were also super friendly and willing to help.

    We had the best arrival in Sri Lanka you could imagine at the Sayura House. Gamini is an extremely accommodating and friendly host! The Sayura House is an oasis in the city and is ideal for unwinding. We felt very comfortable. Meals are served on an idyllic roof terrace, the rooms are pretty, well air-conditioned and quiet. Thank you for this start to our trip!

    Attractive restored and converted heritage building with nice architectural features. The room and bed were comfortable and the bathroom good with a walk in shower. The staff at reception were unfailingly helpful, particularly when I arrived late in the evening from a long flight and journey from the airport. They were helpful in organising an airport pickup for me. The hotel was very convenient to the Fort railway station. The hotel has both a good restaurant and a convenient cafe.
