The hosts at The Manor 1926 went out of their way to accommodate my late arrival, share local tourism/transportation information, and make sure I was comfortable throughout my stay in Colombo. The room is spacious, equipped with A/C, a washing machine, large fridge, purified water, a comfy bed, separate living room, and anything else you need to make yourself at home for a few days.
