What can I say!!! My Partner(french) And I(English) had the most amazing 3 week adventure around the stunning Island of Sri Lanka.

Our first experience in... More

Slightly outside the center but only a 300 rupee to the train station. Rooms were fine with a quirky shower. Family run who were all very kind and welcoming! Nice breakfast too :) Overall great value for money! Thank the lord for the aircon in the room!

Anthony welcomed my girlfriend and I at the airport after we arranged for the pickup with his guesthouse. He was genuine and friendly along the congested drive into Colombo from the airport (a keen cricket fan). All these attributes were reflected by his staff at Hotel The Saffron. N.B. It is also situated in a suprisingly quiet and peaceful neighbourhood... More
