Staff super friendly - gave me a complimentary beer on arrival. They arranged dinner for me which was very tasty and large serve! I onto stayed a few hours but it was a perfect place to stop and rest rather than wait at the airport.

If you're looking for a convenient place to stay near the airport, look no further than this hotel. The location is simply unbeatable - just 'steps' away from the terminal, making it perfect for those early morning flights or late-night arrivals. And despite its proximity to the airport, the hotel is surprisingly quiet and peaceful, allowing you to get a good night's rest. One of the standout features of this hotel is how impeccably clean it is. From the lobby to the rooms, everything is spotless and well-maintained. It's clear that the staff takes great pride in keeping the property in top shape, which is always a plus when you're staying away from home. Another thing that sets this hotel apart is its rates. Given its prime location and high level of cleanliness and comfort, you might expect to pay a premium - but that's not the case here. The rates are very reasonable and represent excellent value for money. Of course, what really makes any hotel great is its staff, and the manager of this hotel is truly exceptional. Friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure guests have a great experience, the manager is a real asset to the property. Whether you need advice on local restaurants, directions to nearby attractions, or just a friendly chat, they're always happy to help. Overall, I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. With its unbeatable location, top-notch cleanliness, great rates, and fantastic manager, it's a truly standout property that's sure to make your stay in the area as enjoyable and stress-free as possible

Athula was so helpful in directing me to the home stay. Once I was there, he was so kind and helped with any queries I had and made sure I got a tuktuk on time for my flight. The hostel is simple but great for an overnight stay before or after a flight. AC was great and bed was comfy!

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location near airport! Ashan made sure I could arrive safely late at night and gave me heaps of advice on getting around Sri Lanka. I came back again at the end of my time in the country and he was super helpful in making sure I got to the airport in the early morning! The room was nice and clean. Lovely stay thank you so much!!!
