7.4/10 Good! (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.

8.6/10 Excellent! (29 reviews)

Great for one night but the room was damp, so I wouldn’t have wanted to stay longer. Perfect if you have an early flight.
