    Perfect location to spend the night before or after flight. Very nice and helpful owners helped us to organize the transport to the airport, they also prepared a delicious breakfast to take away because of the early morning flight.

    This wasnt actually the place we stayed but the hosts were so lovely and accomodating

    The Best Homely Peaceful stay near Colombo Airport
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Queen Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Need to change Google location as it leads to customers to a wrong location Please use a whattsapp number as the main contact number so customers can contact the hotel from the airport itself. You may hear airplane noise all the time but I think it is not the hotel owner's problem.

    Great stay near Colombo International Airport. I think the best decision I have taken regarding the stay near the airport. It is a great location for family or groups too as the rooms are very spacious. Exceptional customer service by the owners and they treated like a family member. Very clean, spacious and new rooms with good wifi connection. I think I got more than what I expected just for $23. Tips: 1. No need to hire taxi. Just outside the airport, you may see three-wheelers (auto riksha) and just pay around Rs.500 (or USD$2) to reach the hotel. Yes, you can save this if you prefer to walk for 2km 2. Try to book a little in advance as they may not accommodate if you book after midnight. 3. They serve continental breakfast with good Ceylon tea and some fruits.

    Super nice lady host. The location is 5 mins drive from airport. Breakfast is great. Host helped us to order meal and tuktuk with a local price. Offered us tea and ice cream which make us really feel like home. The place is new and clean. Definitely something you really need for transit.

    Soundproofing (the railway line is close to the place, and all the sounds from there are perfectly audible).

    Transfer from the airport was well-organized. The hosts were friendly and met all our needs; they helped us book a taxi to Colombo (somewhat more expensive than via PickMe app, but much more effective).

    spent 10 mins killing mosquitoes in the room, but this seems to be a general problem in Sri Lanka

    This was the best choice to spend a night after a late arrival. the host picked me up at the airport and helped a lot with the transfer next day. the breakfast was nice, the room was big and clean.

    The airplanes are very loud sometimes and there are a lot of night flights but it's not hard to get used to the sound.

    Great place very close to the airport to spend a night when you arrive or leave. You will still need a transfer if you have a lot of baggage though

    Address on booking is wrong and no one told us about it so we arrived to a wrong place several streets away. We called the host and he arrived in 5 minutes to take us to correct one but still we had some stress because of it. Hosts need to update the address on Booking

    New hostel therefore interior is fresh and nice. Breakfast was good. Hot water, internet and air conditioning were working ok.
