Not a lot to see or do around the hotel but being close to airport is a bonus for late night flights into Colombo. Room was comfortable secure and quiet. Good food available at roadside cafe and drinks available in hotel bar. Short tuk tuk ride up from airport. Stayed overnight before exploring rest of Sri Lanka Enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

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.

エアコン、テレビ、冷蔵庫は完備していたが、部屋にはペットボトル2本有るだけで洗面用具は一切なく、ただ部屋が広いだけ。口コミに最高に良いと書かれているが程遠く感じた。スタッフは丁寧で親切でした。
