From fangs to feathers, there are plenty of animals to see at Dehiwala Zoological Garden. But don't just look, be sure to listen too! You'll hear some fascinating noises as you roam around the park.

This wildlife attraction is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Mount Lavinia. But Dehiwala Zoological Garden isn't the only drawcard in the area. Colombo City Centre, Galle Face Green, and Galle Face Beach are some other interesting sights nearby.

14.8/10 Exceptional! (10 reviews)

This property is located a short tuk tuk ride from the airport. It makes sense to locate first or last nights close to airport with early or late flights since Colombo is a long way from its international airport. There is no suitable public transport to or from the airport into Colombo other than Uber. This hotel has a respectable bar and restaurant attached which is handy since not much is in the local area. The rooms are pretty basic and are really only suitable for a one night stop. I would use the hotel again if coming in late or leaving early from Sri Lanka.
