Beachcombing is a fun leisure activity that the whole family can enjoy. So, why not take the youngsters to Galle Face Beach to see what you can spot scattered along the seashore?

Galle Face Beach is the perfect place to begin discovering Western Province. This stretch of coastline is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow time for other attractions like Colombo City Centre, Galle Face Green, and Mount Lavinia Beach to really enjoy what's on offer in the area.

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.

7.6/10 Good! (169 reviews)

The hallmark of the hotel is the staff. Amazing friendliness, very accommodative and made us feel very much at home. Hotel overall was convenient and did justice to our stay. Check in was delayed for at least 45 minutes. It didn’t appear to be busy at the reception. Restaurant: Dinner was quite good with a well planned menu. Much variety and on point when it came to taste. Desserts could be better as seemed to be in the same spectrum. Breakfast could have been better on quality. Rooms were good sized, beds with average comfort. TV remote did not work but didn't really use it. Bathroom was well equipped. Showers with good pressure and wonderful hot water. Could have better utility for hanging towels and hooks for cloth storage. Would like to come back and enjoy the hospitality again.
