Lovely hotel, great food, excellent stay. Only point to note was that they wanted to charge USD40 for the 18 min airport transfer which is just too much.

Its a beautiful property in need of major refurbishment. Your met with a wall of ants crawling through out the hotel lobby as you check in, We had rented the Manbatton Suite with a private plunge pool their highest category. The suite when we entered was hot and you could instantly smell the dampness in the walls. The suite has 2 bedrooms as we where traveling with our son. We where shocked to see that the AC in his room had leakedand the floor was full of water. The plunge pool was very dirty and no one had cleaned it for a long time. When my wife tried to use the coffe machine a lizard popped out to welcome her. We asked for a full refund and this was denied. The staff tried their best to accommodate us by giving us another room for my son to sleep in. The staff are super friendly and they really felt bad for us but it was out of their hands. On the other hand the food was very tasty and the gardens are beautiful.

It really is superb. An old colonial manor, beautifully converted into a hotel, capped with fantastic service. The rooms were spacious, very comfortable, and very quiet. My only regret was I could only stay one night. When travel back Sri Lanka, I'd definitely stay here again.

A boutique and tranquil experience, set in beautiful gardens and surrounds. 15 mins to the airport so a great place to start or end your trip in Sri Lanka. Our only regret is that we only had one night here at the end of our trip. The staff are really friendly and helpful, great pool area, extensive board games, great food with wide variety available and the staff packed a generous breakfast for us when we had to leave at 5am to catch our flight. The room was great, generous size and large bathroom and we had a private garden. Would stay here again.

The Wallawwa is a 20 minute taxi from Colombo Airport and I cannot imagine any better places to recover from a long haul flight. It is beyond 5*, another level to most hotels we have stayed at globally. We arrived and immediately were given wet towels and papaya juice. We had a basic room as it was only a stop over for us but wow what a room. The bathroom was magnificent and the bedroom had everything you could wish for. The food was terrific and served by a highly attentive and happy team which promotes eco friendly values. Sitting on the terrace listening to some soft jazz was a highlight of the trip for me. A great way to start our trip. It is one of several superb hotels in the teardrop group but gave no hint of it not being an individual entity. We couldn't recommend it any higher and would be back in a heartbeat if we could.

We had a fantastic stay at the Wallawwa. The property is stunning and its close proximity to teh airport was ideal. The rooms are really tastefully decorated and luxurious and the staff were all so welcoming and friendly. There is a really nice shop on site with the money raised going to a local Sri Lankan charity. We picked up some lovely cards and gifts. We had dinner and breakfast and both were delicious. We stayed on our honeymoon and the staff were fantastic and very congratulatory. Our only regret was not staying for longer than one night!

The Wallawwa is a lovely place tucked in the jungle down a long narrow dirt road. Feels miles away from anywhere but its actually 20 mins from the airport. Lots of atmosphere & antiques & very friendly, helpful staff. Get them to pick you up from the airport because no one else knows where the place is. It isn't far but its hard to find.

The hotel itself is amazing - spectacular rooms (with patio) and garden, nice pool. My wife and I went for our honeymoon. The staff and service however is pretty mediocre, particularly for the facilities they have. The building is like a luxury resort, while the service is what you would expect in a youth hostel in Amsterdam or Paris. I should say, I told them it was our honeymoon beforehand and they decorated our bed and also offered u a complimentary cake. However this didn't compensate for the poor service. The hotel is clearly understaffed and staff are not properly trained (4 different people asked me for my dinner order, it takes ages to get served, everything is slow, waiters are walking around confused, doubling up on tables while other tables are waiting, many staff are not friendly, reception never picks up the phone). It is a real pity because it ruins the spectacular hotel they have.

This is a lovely hotel, in close proximity to the airport, with great facilities and warm, welcoming and efficient staff. The food is great, and well priced. The grounds are superb. Rooms are a good size and the bathrooms are a haven (especially when compared to the usual Sri Lankan shower!).

Stayed on our last night in Sri Lanka as a stopover on the way to the airport. Can't remember exactly but it's about a 20 min drive. Hence can't comment on the local area and what's around. The hotel however is wonderful. Old colonial building tastefully renovated with great attention to detail. Food was also very good and reasonably priced. A real bit of luxury in great grounds. Would certainly recommend it. Just as a side note - a made an error while booking the hotel, Hotels.com were less than helpful initially, but the hotel were amazing. Their level of customer service was exceptional.

This was such a nice surprise. Absolutely stunning building, design, landscaping, decoration: which is a shock given its proximity to the Colombo airport (and frankly, the only reason I booked it). They've done a great job tastefully exposing the colonial bones of the original building and have made some thoughtful upgrades. Staff couldn't have been kinder or more accomodating. Food was great if you stick to Sri Lankan. In terms of location, I have no idea if this place is convenient to anything other than the airport, which is a shame. It might make a nice jumping off point for Negombo but I didn't get a chance to visit. Prob a little too far in the country to serve as a base for exploring Colombo, but to be honest, you only need a day to see what Colombo has to offer.

I was only at the Wallawwa for a quick layover, so I cannot comment too much on the hotel. The airport transfer was a bit unorganized and caused some confusion. The room was large and comfortable. I would only stay here for a layover though..otherwise better to stay in Colombo or Negombo.

Great location very close to the airport and perfect for a layover of any duration. Top notch hotel with a nice ambience in a beautiful country setting. Professional and very friendly staff. They are very genuine and really willing to assist with all your requests. Highly recommended for a short stay in Sri Lanka as centrally located to all the historic attractions in Colombo and Kandy as well as the tea country.

Arrived for the second time in Colombo and we did not expect as good as it is. It is pretty close to the airport and it is very nice. Bathrooms are large, beds are comfy, and the hotel is very up to date in facilities and comfort. It is a small "hacienda" colonial estate house with 25+ rooms, very calmed and nice.

Check in staff were welcoming and gave quick orientation to the facilities. Like many smaller hotels, this has a unique character that makes staying here memorable and pleasant. The rooms are quite large - the bathroom was simply enormous - and best of all, it is peaceful.
