Antic Guesthouse

We enjoyed the lovely breakfast every morning, one of the best on our stay in Sri Lanka. The owners were very helpful organising onward transport. The room was clean and had artistic flourish

We were in the back room upstairs which was s little dark. Some hand towels would be nice in the bathroom. Overall the standard quite high here

The way the place is decorated and styled is just the most pinterest-able. Beautiful. The breakfast! First you get a massive platter of absolutely everything that functions as breakfast food in Sri Lanka and even though you'd promised yourself a light breakfast you eat everything, it's just so tasty. Fine, you think, you just won't eat for the rest of the day. But you will, and immediately, because as soon as you clean the first plate they bring another, this time with this nicely arranged, colourful and juicy fruit selection. Why wouldn't you have dessert after breakfast? Check out till noon and breakfast till 11. It's your holiday and you can sleep in if you want to. The staff were lovely, nice to chat with and v.helpful. It was fun to watch them work on jewellery and gem stones and learn about the uniqueness of Sri Lankan sapphires. Free bottled water. Very good location.

The idea that just because two people share a room they are also fine with no bathroom door is way too far-fetched. You really should install bathroom door. I feel very strongly about that.

We loved Antic! The room we had was amazing with such a wonderful view of the lighthouse. The staff were wonderful, so friendly and accommodating. Delicious breakfast too!

Absolutely nothing.

We had a great night staying at Antic - the owners were so friendly and helpful, giving us tea and letting us leave our bags when we arrived on the early train from Columbo. They also upgraded us to a bigger room free of charge as it was available! The property is really stylish and has everything you need, plus the Sri Lankan breakfast was huge and tasty. The guesthouse is located right in the centre of the fort, about a minute from the lighthouse- perfect. We hope to return to beautiful SL and would definitely stay here again.

The aircon was broken so dripped a lot which was a bit annoying in the night, but I'm sure it was fixed quickly after our stay :)
