Wonderful experience to staying in the important architecture. The site is originally owned the De Saram bros. and given to the Bawa trust then became an accommodation for public. The building is renovated by Geoffrey Bawa, so it’s must visit for architects and designers. The building is in good condition, it’s not for luxury but for indifferent experience. The master staff is really nice and knowledgeable, he kindly showed me other rooms! I had a pleasant and precious experience here. Note: wifi and hot water is really good. Breakfast is international style. (non Sri Lankan) The main entrance is really deep from the street, you just ring the bell of the huge black gate.
If you like G Bawa's architecture and love authenticity, you'll love this place. Exquisitely designed, quiet (it is set back from the road down a short drive) but what makes it really special is that it is run by people who love what they do and treat you as visitors to a home, rather than guests in a hotel. Quite exceptional. Plus well located in a cool area with interesting shops and cafés. Stay here to feel as a welcomed friend as much as for the architecture and styling.

We stayed in the De Saram House for two nights when we arrived in Sri Lanka for the first time. Our flight arrived very early in the morning so I also booked the night before so we could check in and sleep a bit as soon as we arrived. Our driver had a bit of difficulty finding the place, so make sure you get good directions. To me, the numbers on the entrance look "architectural", so I used that tip to find the correct entrance during the rest of our stay. Anthony and the other employee (I sadly forgot his name) were fantastic. They were available when needed, very friendly, and prepared and served a delicious Sri Lankan omelette for breakfast. The room was comfortable and spacious. While it did not have a mini-fridge, I was allowed to store my Coke in the kitchen fridge. The De Saram house is located close to a small grocery store, which made it easy to grab Cokes and snacks. I knew very little about Geoffrey Bawa (and architecture) when I booked this hotel, and enjoyed learning more about his focus on marrying the indoors and outdoors. I recommend this hotel if you're looking for something comfortable and different, and want to blend in to the city instead of staying on a touristy *****.

This was quite a rare experience: a chance to stay in accommodation which had been designed as a private house by the distinguished Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. Charming open spaces as well as a pleasant bedroom, and breakfast was a stylish affair. It is near enough to reach supermarket and restaurants (after remembering how to find the rather hidden entrance back to the home). Recommended.

如果您是建築、歷史和藝術愛好者,這座別墅是必去之地,體驗傳奇人物杰弗裡·巴瓦(Geoffrey Bawa) 對德魯維·德·薩拉姆(Druvi De Saram) 故居的原貌修復。它現在由巴瓦信託管理,有四個房間和一個華麗的庭院。雖然位於市中心,但飯店非常安靜,是您在閱讀、寫作甚至工作時放鬆身心的完美場所。房源由兩位友善有禮的工作人員 Sujeewa 和 Anthony 打理,他們確保我們在住宿期間感到舒適。房間和寢具、洗手間乾淨舒適。我被分配到了可以俯瞰入口庭院的房間,我個人比所有其他房間更喜歡它。客房配有茶、咖啡和熱水壺以及額外的枕頭、毯子和辦公桌。洗手間有充足的各種尺寸的毛巾。這是一家住宿加早餐飯店,因此您必須在外面享用其他餐點。然而,這根本不是問題,因為該位置位於許多餐廳、酒吧和咖啡館的中間。音樂室是他們最珍貴的財產,裡面擺滿了書籍、藝術品和一架三角鋼琴。您可以選擇在這間客房放鬆身心,並在住宿期間欣賞其美景。感謝您的愉快入住,並期待很快再次光臨!
我只在 De Saram House 住了一晚,這很遺憾,因為我真的很喜歡這個旅館。誠然,它一開始有點難找,但一旦你進去了,它是如此平靜和風景如畫,感覺就像是繁華的科倫坡的一片綠洲。我附上了一堆照片來展示這個地方的寧靜。從地點來看,它也非常好,位於一個更安靜的社區,步行即可到達焦糖南瓜和種子咖啡館等非常好的咖啡館以及優波離餐廳等餐廳。房間寬敞、安靜且設備齊全,但不要指望房間內有電話或小冰箱等五星級設施。這就是我的主要評論——儘管它看起來很豪華,但這是一家只有 2 名員工經營的小酒店。這不是一家五星級飯店,沒有提供預期的服務,例如提供食物和飲料以及全天的員工服務。從價格角度來看,它也不是五星級飯店的水平,所以這些期望從一開始就有缺陷。相反,你得到的是一個超級美麗的莊園和一個設備齊全且安靜的房間,由非常友善的工作人員領導,他們會盡力提供幫助。我最初確實遇到了一些無線網路問題,但很快就得到了解決。安東尼是在 De Saram House 接待我的人,他很專業、有禮貌、樂於助人——即使我必須在凌晨 4:45 退房才能趕飛機。因此,如果您知道入住後會發生什麼,那麼這可能是您在科倫坡的完美住宿 - 我知道我個人真的很喜歡它。
