Ingiriya Trip

Nice clean Hotel. Beautiful view of the sea. Friendly staff.

Very comfortable bed. Clean room. The staff were courteous and attentive. Excellent breakfast.

From the entrance with the beloved, always smiling security uncle Sanath to Jawfer the ready to help out with anything and everything Concierge to Zeenath the best head of reservations we’ve ever met, coordinating with me from day one and throughout made our stay an extra special one. We chose VAUX as a newly married couple to give us the homely feeling and it sure did. The layout was really modern including all the basic essentials. The 2 bedroom apartment had a wonderful Terrace and ample space to accommodate many guests. The rooftop swimming pool was another added beauty at VAUX. Our guests loved the place and we in fact extended our stay as the price we paid was well worth the experience we had. We are looking forward for a next stay at VAUX and special thanks again to Zeenath for always keeping in touch making sure we had everything going well!!! Much Love

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.

Truly excellent place to stay
