Fodor's Expert Review 5th Lane House

This lovely old restored house in a quiet area close to the Canadian High Commission is a home away from home in downtown Colombo. Most of the sights and restaurants are a short walk away. The low number of rooms in this B&B ensures exclusivity. Each of the four units is individually furnished in elegant and bright shades, with modern fittings and polished wooden floors. Rooms have both a/c and overhead fans. You can take your breakfast in the small garden. Staff are very helpful and can help arrange everything from tours to airport transfers. Complimentary afternoon tea is served daily.
