Looking for history without kitsch I discovered this discrete Guesthouse . Away from the crowds of Colombo, the spacious room and antique charm gave me a fantastic rest after exploring Sri Lanka’s capital. With all the qualities of a classic hotel I could enjoy style and comfort while maintaining the privacy of home.

We stayed two nights at Greenscape. The personal was so helpful, and always ready to answer questions. The room was big, clean and nicely ventilated. We enjoyed our stay so much, and would recommend. The place is a Tuktuk ride away from the city, so easy access. Its a quiet area and a small walk away from restaurants

Had a great stay at this place. Actually, the best place to stay while extending your visa:passport office is just 600 m away. It is a nice quite area close to Colombo center. Not on the noisy steer but still close to shops and other facilities. Hot water in the shower, good WiFi. The owner is super friendly and helpful, such a great guy. Highly recommended!
