The property was nice and the rooms were clean. Staff were friendly and helpful, but need more training and better their English skills.
The breakfast buffet spread was good, but just could’t enjoy anything as it was over crowded in a tiny area. No one was guiding the guests and people were literally pushing at each other to grab food….which was not being replenished either
Convenient to airport - comfortable / lovely Chinese restaurant and service, with the chef personally serving us at the table. A lovely touch.

The hotel was fine—close to the airport with a decent breakfast.
What I found unacceptable was that they charged me USD 150 (46,000 rupees) for a driver from Negombo to Sigiriya. This is roughly triple the average cost, and even after I questioned it and declined, they insisted this was the standard price.
I understand it was a long journey; however, for even longer drives elsewhere in Sri Lanka, I paid about one-third of this cost and received better service.
Very quiet, more walking areas outside the hotel also good house keeping service. Food is good.

Good hotel close to Airport
Great hotel with good service.
Several shops and restaurants in the hotel complex. Big nice pool.
Service was on top and nice with pick up/ drop off service to airport.
Great place if you have an early flight from Colombo. Takes about 10 mins in the hotels free private taxi service. The buffet was extensive and cooking good. The rooms were spacious and modern with a shower
It was a brief overnight stay, but we were received at the airport and escorted to our rooms. Staff very friendly and helpful in the morning organizing long distance transportation at short notice.
It was a comfortable property to stay at especially if you're looking for something close to the airport.
The only thing that could have been better is the play area near the swimming pool for children. It was not maintained well enough.

Disliked: Room comfort
The hotel is decent, but at this price point, expectations weren’t matched. The room was so humid that even the bed linens felt damp. Pre-arrival communication was frustratingly poor—I had to threaten to cancel just to get them to honor the complimentary transfer mentioned at booking. That said, the staff upon arrival were kind and helpful, and the room was clean despite the humidity issue. Not a place I’d recommend, though it might still be the least bad option in the area.

We decided to stay here to be close to airport prior to our flight and pay the upgrade for transport to airport. In that respect, this hotel did help us be close to the airport and the transport to airport was seamless. In addition, the people were extremely friendly. However, the rest of the stay was lacking. This was rated a 4 star hotel, but I think it is more a 3 star hotel. Our toliet didn't flush properly and the bidet hose leaked when we flushed. This was even more problematic because I got sick with food poisoining from the hotel buffet the night after eating there right before our flight. I did see some bugs in the room. The pool and amenities look much nicer in the photos than in real life. I wish I loved it because the people were so nice, but I would not go back due the above.
Arrived late after a long day flying. Check in was as swift as it could be and we were soon in our room. Clean and cool with comfy beds, toiletries available, water, etc. what more could you need for a stay between flights?
Breakfast was delicious, plenty to choose from. But oddly tea was not readily available though they brewed a pot when I asked.
The staff are all so lovely and extremely helpful and friendly.
Laying by the pool is bliss (still here!) and they’ve given us a complimentary late checkout as our flight isn’t until this evening.
Only downside is that no-one was there to meet us at the airport as promised. Our original flight was cancelled, I messaged the hotel with new flight details which was about 3 hrs later than the original, but never got a response so I assume it was not read. It meant after a long day of traveling we had to figure out how to get someone to come get us which frustratingly added another 40 minutes to our already long day.
But overall would highly recommend this airport hotel.
Room was clean. We did have a cockroach approach our bathroom but it was cleared fast! The room was otherwise super clean. Food was great for dinner and would recommend.
