This is a handy place to stay if you have an early flight (or late arrival), as it's no more than a 5 minute tuk-tuk ride down the road. There's a cafe/ restaurant next door which does decent-enough food and drink with very friendly staff.
The room was basic, but fine for a short one-night stay and the WiFi was very good.
The bathroom (and parts of the bedroom - fridge, etc) looked like it needed a very good clean.

The hotel is located close to the airport, although you can't really walk there due to the state of the roads (no sidewalk) so you need to rent a tuktuk/taxi (even if it's less than 15 mins away). There's a bar and a restaurant so you can grab a drink or something to eat before or after your flight. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Raj.
Unfortunately, the room was rather dirty, the faucet in the bathroom was leaking, and the fan was extremely loud (to the point where you can't really sleep with it on in the room). There was a cockroach in the bathroom, and the bed sheets were stained with huge brown spots. As we were only staying there for a couple of hours before our flight, we made do with what we had, but I'd recommend looking for another place if you're staying for one or more nights.

Really enjoyed my stay here for what it was. I only stayed a couple hours overnight as I was travelling on to Galle, but the staff made sure everything was as welcoming and hospitable as humanly possible. The guy I spoke to (I forget his name unfortunately) was super friendly and did his absolute best to help me out with anything and everything I asked about. Absolutely coming back here, would definitely recommend.
This is gonna be SUPER minor and nitpicky, but I guess the floor in the room could have been swept a little better?? Other than that, not much. To be perfectly honest the only discomfort I was in was the heat, but I'd just arrived from New Zealand where it's cold as, and the hotel room had air conditioning so was able to combat it.

Perfect location if you are looking for a stay over or a hotel closed to the aiport. You can even walk to the airport within 15 minutes. Really good value for money. AC works well, comfy beds.
Nothing.

I chose to stayed in the hotel as its located at a close proximity to Colombo airport. I indeed enjoyed my short overnight stay at the hotel. The room was clean, equipped with all accessories. I found the staff friendly and cooperative.

Friendly and very helpful staff. The Manager even went out and bought me some beer from the local shop. Thats what I call service!! Good road-side restaurant with a quirky dining area.
Excellent service at a budget price. Fantastic value for money. Many Thanks

4 minute drive to the airport and located on the main road so easy access to tuk tuks. Restaurant outside that's open 24/7. Beds were comfy enough, got a good night's sleep.
The entire building needs a good clean from dust and cobwebs.

The rooms were nice. Really spacious.
It was a little confusing when I arrived. No staff.. Can’t pay via Booking.com, so even tho I though the payment was made, I had to pay “again” when leaving. Its close to airport, but there is nothing els to say about the area

4.5 / 5.0
Close to the airport, only 15-20 minutes walk, friendly host, deluxe room is big enough, good bathroom design, 24 hour cafe on the 1st floor, fridge and AC in the room were ok, you can pay by credit card. Good for relaxing after a flight.
There was no hot water in my room, but that was not a big problem because the weather is warm. I think there are no shops around.
