Staff very friendly and showed us around the vacant rooms which was a real treat. Fantastic breakfast in perfect surroundings. ##### Patricia Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Gregory 2 Jan 2026 Disliked: Amenities The house was wonderful to stay in and visit. The only comment and this is a more philosophical one - what is the balance between originality and being fresh for a guest to inhabit? I think this needs careful thinking through. The house is wonderfu and its a great place to stay if you love Bawa architecture, but some areas could do with cleaning more thoroughly or replacing. There is no benefit in a knackered old japanese paper lantern when an identical one can be bought online cheaply, or an old blanket that has seen better days or a musty wardrobe - all these can be fixed without undermining an important piece of architecture. Beyond that, the house is wonderful, the staff are great and the house is in a great location in Colombo and I would recommend it as a place to visit if you are interested in Bawa's architecture. ##### Gregory Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn 17 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A delightful secret hideaway from the noise and hustle & bustle of a busy city.

I loved the way the indoor/outdoor sitting area was surrounded by the lovely garden with a huge tree.in its midst. ##### Joyce Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### John 28 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Originally, a private home designed by the famous Bawa, this is a delightful boutique hotel with only a limited number of rooms. The original art and the property offer many photo opportunities. The staff were amazing-- cheerful and extremely hospitable. Overall, a wonderful place to stay compared to other more conventional hotels in Colombo. Internet was a bit wonky during my stay, but resolved by the staff. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymond 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I only managed to stay one night at De Saram House, which is a shame as I really liked the property. Admittedly it was initially somewhat hard to find it, but once you are inside, it is so calm and picturesque that it feels like an oasis from bustling Colombo. I have attached a bunch of photos to showcase the serenity of the place. Location-wise it is also excellent, being in a quieter neighborhood that is in walking distance from very nice cafes such as Caramel Pumpkin and Seed Cafe and restaurants such as Upali's. Room-wise it is large, quiet and well-appointed, though do not expect 5-star facilities such as phone in your room or a small fridge. Which leads to my main comment - despite its luxurious look, this is very much a small establishment run by just 2 staff members. It is not a 5-star hotel with expected services such as food and drinks available and staff service all day long. Price-wise it is also not the level of a 5-star hotel so those expectations are flawed from the start. Instead, what you get is a super beautiful estate and a well-appointed and quiet room, led by very kind staff members who try their best to help. I did have some initial wifi issues but they were resolved. Anthony was the person who attended to me at De Saram House, and he was professional, courteous and helpful - even when I had to check out a 4:45am to catch my flight. So if you know what to expect going in, this could be the perfect stay for you in Colombo . ##### Raymond Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carsten 18 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Great room and service ##### Carsten Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### VISHWANATH 7 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Stunningly beautiful and well maintained ##### VISHWANATH Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### TAICHIRO 1 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Dreamin' Time❣️ ##### TAICHIRO Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pavel 20 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities My room was amazing!
