Although my co-host Gayathri who's based in Colombo may not always meet you when checking-in, our premises manager Sarath or our associate Vijay will be there. Our contact details will also be shared once you've confirmed a booking, so you can reach us 24/7. 55 FLOWER ROAD is centrally located in Colombo's prime residential area Colombo 7. This precinct which is also known as Cinnamon Gardens is home to a fine mix of residential properties, schools, banks, cafes and restaurants, supermarkets and convenience stores, clothing and homeware stores, a public park, and the National Museum. You will never be short of things to do in the neighbourhood. When you fancy a late night out in town, the pubs and night life in Colombo Fort are only a 10 minute tuk-tuk ride away. The tuk-tuk is the most sought-after mode of transport to wizz through Colombo's endless traffic peak times. Those with meterred billing protect you from extortion. The drivers are generally very friendly and would love to have an animated chat with you, in what we fondly call "Broken English" . If you're taking a train ride and heading "up-country", the Colombo Fort railway station is a fifteen-minute commute. The breathtaking panoramic views as the train slowly winds it's way up the hills are especially worth the effort. To head "down-south", hop on a train from the Colpetty ("Kollupitiya" or Colombo 3) railway station; a mere five-minute commute. If you're travelling with family, you may want to rent a car for the duration of your holiday, or just for the longer journeys out of town. These come with a driver (a Sri Lankan driving license is required to drive in Sri Lanka; an international license is not recognised!). An airport pick-up/drop-off costs around USD40~50, and vehicle rentals range between USD25~100 per day. We have dedicated free parking within our premises, and car-cleaning services at a nominal fee. Our guests can enjoy the free use of our two bicycles to take a ride along the streets of the city. The cooler late evenings once the traffic has eased, are a great time to explore the city and get your bearings. Bookings can be arranged with our staff. A 40kva back-up generator gives uninterrupted power supply. Especially in times when the country is experiencing an extended period of dry weather, it's not unusual for the island to have power outages. We offer the following additional services at a nominal fee: - pre-checkin stock up of essentials (especially useful when travelling with a young family or arriving late at night) - laundry drop-off & pick-up - car cleaning and washing Two bottles of drinking water await you at check-in, with our compliments.
