De Saram 由 Geoffrey Bawa 的房子

Wonderful experience to staying in the important architecture. The site is originally owned the De Saram bros. and given to the Bawa trust then became an accommodation for public. The building is renovated by Geoffrey Bawa, so it’s must visit for architects and designers. The building is in good condition, it’s not for luxury but for indifferent experience. The master staff is really nice and knowledgeable, he kindly showed me other rooms! I had a pleasant and precious experience here. Note: wifi and hot water is really good. Breakfast is international style. (non Sri Lankan) The main entrance is really deep from the street, you just ring the bell of the huge black gate.

I was able to fully enjoy Mr. Bawa's architecture at the De Saram House.

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.

如果您喜歡G·巴瓦的建築風格，又鍾情於原汁原味的體驗，那麼您一定會愛上這裡。設計精美絕倫，環境清幽（它位於馬路後方，需開車行駛一小段路程才能到達），但真正讓它與眾不同的是，它的經營者們熱愛自己的工作，並將您視作家中的客人，而非酒店的客人。這真是難得一見。此外，它地理位置優越，坐落於一個充滿活力的街區，周圍遍布著各種有趣的商店和咖啡館。入住這裡，您不僅能欣賞建築和風格的獨特魅力，還能感受到賓至如歸的溫暖。

我們第一次抵達斯里蘭卡時，在德薩拉姆酒店住了兩晚。我們的航班是在清晨抵達，所以我提前一晚就預訂了房間，這樣我們一到就能辦理入住並稍作休息。我們的司機找飯店有點費勁，所以一定要事先問清楚路線。我覺得入口處的門牌號碼很有“建築感”，所以我之後入住期間都用這個方法找到了正確的入口。安東尼和另一位員工（可惜我忘了他的名字）非常棒。他們隨時待命，非常友好，還為我們準備了美味的斯里蘭卡煎蛋捲作為早餐。房間舒適寬敞。雖然房間裡沒有小冰箱，但我可以把可樂放在廚房的冰箱裡。德薩拉姆飯店附近有一家小雜貨店，買可樂和零食都很方便。在預訂這家酒店之前，我對傑弗裡·巴瓦（以及他的建築風格）了解甚少，很高興能更多地了解他如何將室內外空間完美融合。如果您正在尋找舒適且與眾不同的酒店，並且想要融入城市而不是住在遊客雲集的五星級酒店，我推薦這家酒店。

とても特別な体験ができた。 朝食も良かったしスタッフの対応も良かった。 また宿泊したい。
