Hotels near Bandaranaike Intl airport

Pros: Large rooms. Great shower. Meals avaliable. Nice pool, deep enough to be refreshing. Lovely veranda to relax on. Only 1 night stay before flight home. Quiet area. 25 min from airport.

Pros: The accommodation lies in two buildings, both with swimming pools in the grounds. The larger, unit 2, is compromised of a spacious 2 floor colonial styled house with verandahs running full length of each floor. The amenities are extremely comfortable, with a spacious bathroom, filled with healthy plants. The staff are friendly and helpful, the food deliciously home cooked. Ask for a freshly squeezed lime fruit juice - the best! As our plane wasn't due out until early evening, we were given permission to remain in our room longer than the 11.00am turnabout and could use the pool and restaurant until we left. This was a huge bonus for us and was done with such good grace.

Cons: We couldn't find fault

Pros: Amazing property, very nice, Calm, green and fancy!

Cons: The Food was really Bad and expensive and the stuff was friendly but also a bit Strange/insecure. So its an amazing Space but the way its runned (stuff and kitchen) is a really strange contrast to the beauty. We Would recommend the Place anyways for 1-2 Nights and to eat outside :-)

Pros: Wow - this place was amazing! Our room was huge and with a stunning balcony overlooking a beautiful garden with a large pool with sun beds. The bathroom was very clean with a rain shower and gave impression of being outside due to a partial Louvre roof! We ordered dinner in the evening which was delicious - the restaurant was open to the garden and overlooked a second pool on the premises. This is definitely a superior hotel and would definitely recommend this especially as it was our last night in Sri Lanka - a definite ‘must do’!!

Pros: Nice and quiet accommodation Very friendly staff Lovely pool areas

Pros: Everything is great from people, room, guests, facilities, everything...Like always perfect :)

Cons: -

Pros: Lovely pool, grounds and old colonial style building

Cons: The air con and fan was so noisy in our room that we didn't get much sleep and then a staff member started sweeping his straw broom right outside our room before 7am. Sri Lankans don't really 'get' how to do tourism yet

Pros: The compound with its garden and architecture is very pretty and feels very valuable. The room was clean and had a beautiful veranda and bathroom. There are two clean pools and the staff is very friendly. The surrounding is not the best, but once you are inside the compound you feel far away from the crowded roads. The airport is near, we got picked up and the receptionist organised a trip to the closest cell phone shop (dialog) where we bought a sim card. Totally recommended for the first night after arriving to Sri lanka!

Pros: The beautiful garden with the swimmingpool, the rooms and the food!

Cons: De staff was a bit reserved, but we were here as the only guests because of the attacks in April no other guests were there...

Pros: Excellent food and Ocean view. I could withstand 2 week quarantine for the 2 good things.

Cons: I was very busy so I could not enjoy everything in this hotel.

Pros: Excellent breakfast service and delicious food.

Cons: Overall great service.

Pros: Very clean and comfortable nice place worthy for price

Pros: Food was nice. Compliments to the chef

Pros: Breakfast was very good. Pool was very good. All the staff that we came across were very friendly and efficient despite being in a Government Lockdown 3 day Curfew during the whole of the visit due to Coronavirus. We could not leave the premises to walk around the local area so not able to comment.

Cons: We were in Sri Lanka for two weeks and were caught up in a period when the whole of the Island was in a complete curfew. We decided to move close to the airport area in Negombo and the hotel provided an airport transfer service which became vital in the end. In a very desperate situation we had booked a five night stay via Booking.com. We were due to fly back to UK after the fifth night but after three nights we were made aware that Emirates had withdrawn their flights without notice. We had to bring forward an alternative flight so ended up having to leave after three nights. The way in which the hotel reception staff conducted themselves left a poor impression and no one took personal responsibility in dealing with my reasonable request to discount our prepaid bill to reflect the change in circumstances. They had a choice to compromise but chose not to. This was in marked contrast to our previous hotel who could not do enough for us when we had to leave one day early to beat the impending curfew. You remember how you were treated in difficult circumstances!!!! They still have a chance to rectify the situation if they choose and I will be happy to give them credit if they choose to do so, Update16April2020 I want to record that the hotel management have reflected on the initial decision made by the reception staff and have retrospectively recognised the difficult circumstances in which we had to leave the hotel and have refunded the cost of the rooms for the two nights which we had to cancel. This reflects highly and I thank them for their actions and this shows a touch of class in the most difficult situation in which we all find ourselves in with the Covid 19 virus pandemic. Thank you

Pros: Facilities are great and front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. Beaches in front of the hotel are ok, a little further down the beach there are a lot of debris and plastics...

Cons: We caught one of the restaurant staff drinking out of the water bottle which he used to serve water to the guests in the restaurant... Not very hygienic... :-(

Pros: well designed room with comfort & privacy

Cons: bathroom shower floor was slippery & had no grab handle bar

Pros: Place

Cons: Nature

Cons: Excellent

Pros: The beach which was close by.

Cons: Staff wasn't friendly or helpful. Some were downright rude. The food was average. The fridge didn't work in the room and we had to spend hours trying to get it fixed.

Pros: Good beach

Pros: The dinner was delicious. And all staff at the dinning were really helpful.

Cons: It would have been much better if the front desk staff were more energetic.

Pros: Perfect location (beachfront), clean, friendly staff, lovely swimming pool, safety for kids.

Cons: Since the hotel just reopening after curfew was imposed, they’re serving breakfast and dinner in the room due to safety health protocols. But i had to call the receptionist several times and waited for almost 2 hours until they delivered the dinner to my room. Limited food menu.

Pros: Nice staff

Cons: No water sports in all seasons

Pros: I liked First of all the location, staff are very friendly and very helpful , they exceed my expectations, even my departure moment as well. thank you very much. Happy to visit again for the same property.

Cons: Nothing at all...!!!

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size with a small balcony. It was close to the beach and shops and restaurants.

Pros: Location was great! The staff is super friendly. The room had a great balcony.

Cons: The bed was big but the mattress was uncomfortable. We could feel the sprinkles on our bones.

Pros: Staff very helpful. Good breakfast

Cons: Some misunderstanding about room charges but sorted satisfactorily.

Pros: The friendly service.

Cons: The cold shower.

Pros: We had arranged an airport pick up fro the hotel, our flight was due to arrive at 23.30 but had a 2 hour delay and the driver was waiting the entire time yet he still greeted us with a big smile and was very friendly. We had a great conversation on the way to the hotel. The manager of the hotel, Mark, was a fantastic help with providing information on where to eat and how best to travel the island. He gave information on where to eat and what to do. We plan to spend a few days at this hotel before we fly out of Sri Lanka as the service, location and value for money exceeded our expectations in a country famous for it's friendly people!

Pros: Great staff, good breakfast and great room.

Cons: Only a fan in the room, that had an awful sound all night, but necessary because of the heat.

Pros: Warm welcome Good location

Cons: Insects in the room

Pros: The room was clean, the owner was really helpful and friendly. They offered us a ride to Sigiriya for a good price with a great guide. We recommend to stay there after arriving in Sri Lanka.

Pros: The rooms wer spacious and really clean. The staff did a really good job with cleaning, being helpful and always really friendly. The pool has been cleaned every day. The food was really tasty and well presented.

Cons: The surroundings of the hotel, including the busy street just in front of the hotel were really noisy. While booking an ayurvedic treatment we expected to have some silence. At night it was also really loud, because of a generator from the hotel the next door and maybe a church which is really close. The consultations with the doctors were really short, even though guests do see the doctors every day. Furthermore we were really disappointed about the yoga classes, which didnt take place in the yoga hall, because there was a travel group. Furthermore there was a lack of instruction during the class.

Pros: It is perfect for a one day treatment.

Cons: They offer only 1h of yoga from 6h30-7h30 which made us rush to eat breakfast and be ready for our 8h00 appointment with the doctors. We would have appreciated a more proper and relaxing place for the lessons and to do meditation because yoga hall was exclusive to a group. Overall, we found that not enough activities were offered. We would have appreciated seeing the treatment options. Of note, we asked for Shoridoya treatment (oil dripping on the head) and it wasn’t available for three day stays. We would have liked the opportunity to stay longer (and even go whenever we want) in the steam bath. Our room was fine but AC would be appreciated for the price (only some rooms have AC and were already booked). Food was amazing even if the portions were small.

Pros: Treatments were great.

Cons: Location has become poor as the noise from the main road has reached crazy levels with all the development. Duff Duff music until midnight. Early morning yoga was very disappointing.

Pros: The rooms are comfortable and nice bed linen and mosquito net. I think all rooms have AC. English plug sockets. We enjoyed our time with the Ayurverdic doctor who established both my husband and I had the same Dosha type. We then had our massage treatment as prescribed by the doc. Two hours of absolute heaven. Meals are given based on Dosha type and were delicious. The staff are incredibly Courteous and friendly. It was lovely to see the manager too who came on more than one occasion to say hello and check everything was ok whilst we had our meal. The swimming pool is relaxing. We also did yoga at 630 in the morning. The hotel also discourage use of plastics and provide filtered water and glass or metal bottles to refill. Had to include some photos of the food so apologies there not in the right category! Also the hotel was tastefully decorated for Xmas. Super place would def recommend the experience.

Cons: Honestly couldn’t think of anything . But do have a suggestion. It would be nice to perhaps have some talks about diet, recipes perhaps a cookery class and meditation in the afternoon. It’s a very different way of eating and cooking and there’s lots of conflicting information out there. Also recipe cards to take home . Just an idea :)

Pros: This place is just phenomenal! And a bargain with the incredible 2 hour treatments from clearly knowledge, well trained, and friendly staff. They want to make sure you’re happy and made every effort to ensure that! I’m coming back! That’s the best recommendation I can give!

Cons: I would have enjoyed a more comfy bed with different pillows. Not that the bed was bad at all but that’s the single thing I can think of.

Pros: We didn't know what to expect with the treatments but we loved it! Basically a 2hour full body massage - so really good value in that sense! The staff were pretty attentive. Room was spacious and comfortable. Love that the lunch goes on until 4pm (although we missed it for our treatments).

Cons: The airport drop off was pretty expensive - and at the hotel's advice we went earlier to the airport but don't think that we needed to really. The robes were quite small but we just asked for bigger ones and they were fine (although still tight!). We were a little rushed into our treatments like 5mins after being shown the room.

Pros: A serene paradise tucked away from bustling Negombo. Amazing setting, amazing facilities, amazing food and probably the best massage I’ve ever had.

Cons: Nothing, it was wonderful

Pros: Food was amazing. The resident manager was very helpful and did his best.

Pros: Good rooms, clean, great view, good staff.

Cons: Breakfast and some other food we ordered was very disappointing.

Pros: Staff was so friendly.. And well mannered .. Location was perfect Worth for the price

Cons: Food were so late after an order And the potions are not worthy for the prices. Telephone was not working properly on room no 3301.

Pros: Nice rooftop seafood restaurant “Moya”

Cons: Tired rooms that are poorly cleaned Smelly bathroom The offered room had two single beds instead of double bed clearly requested in the reservation. The staff intended not to upgrade, but downgrade us to the worse category room, which we declined. Then the requested room magically appeared.

Pros: Very close to airport with cheap transfers available

Cons: Not close to any local amenities but not really required for short stay and plenty of taxis available.

Pros: I arrived early, and they let me check in. The room was very nice.

Cons: The room was above the kitchen, and next to a shop of some type . Heard food prep, and drilling, banging all day, was trying to sleep, as flight was at 430 am. No elevator On the wing they placed me.

Pros: Loved this hostel! The room was so Nice and cool! Great to see lockers too! The staff were lovely and helpful. He organised a taxi to the airport for me at 4.30am! In a nice area too with lots of shops and nice places to eat! Elen’s and Cafe Zen are recommended too!

Cons: Nothing it was great!

Cons: Nice staff.

Pros: Huge room...huge bed and huge bath room...

Cons: Cable TV is not working, no room wifi

Pros: Great location relaxed vibe and friendly staff, excellent breakfast

Pros: Friendly staff and good location. Nice place for one night before/after a flight.

Cons: Room was very hot with only the fan. Be sure to take a room with AC. They also said they can arrange a transportation from the airport but they just told me to take a cab from the airport.

Pros: Very spacious room. Comfortable bed.

Cons: Although it was mentioned that the room had TV the cable channels weren't available. The host admitted that there's an issue and he had required to take that option out. Towels and soap wasn't provided. The contact numbers provided on booking.com and Google wasn't responsive.

Pros: Nice rooms, nice view, good location- near the beach

Cons: No wifi in rooms (only in lobby)

Pros: I paid extra for breakfast but didnt get it on day 1. Day 2, it was nothing like the picture advertising a hearty breakfast. Management kindly allowed me to stay until 10 pm to checkout. The hotel was not busy, so this was ok.

Cons: No one on reception upon arrival and sometimes during my stay. If I pay for breakfast, I expect what is advertised for what I pay for. TV was very blurry and poor reception. No coffee or tea facility in the room (I know this was not advertised, but it would have been a nice touch). I had to keep my curtains closed in my room, else people around the pool could see me. No blinds at the windows, just curtains. The room was older than advertised (as is usually the case).

Pros: the facilities, for the price has a pool that helps you spend the most enjoyable rest hours! Many employees are friendly!

Cons: We asked to eat the last day, we do not recommend it ... the food was ordered! They don't take it late and they didn't bring us what we asked for! The transportation prices they have are outdated and they charged us more for the taxi to the airport.

Pros: Yes the general layout of the place it was all very come to wide open lovely

Cons: Nthing

Pros: Very Nice and helpful staff Cosy area

Cons: Dirty bathrooms Doors binding Aircon not Working properly Worn out facilityes in rooms Breakfast Way under sri lankan standards Lots of dogs Barking at in the Night disturbing your sleep A bit more far from Beach than Statet Hotel Way to expensive

Pros: The people are all so nice, smiling and helpful. We arrived at 3AM, somebody took us in charge. The next day, we had checked out, but our driver was late. They let us have the room back for an hour so we could relax at the pool while waiting. Very considerate !

Cons: We arrived at 3 AM and did not have water. Not really a problem. The water was hot when we woke up. The room could use blinders, we had a bit too much light.

Pros: Booked after reading reviews but they were written a few years ago. I would say that the rooms were very basic with no matching furniture and could do with painting and upgrading. The saving grace was the pool and staff that could not do enough. Lots of building work was taking place but we were traveling the 2nd week so not really affected.

Cons: Needs serious rethinking regarding bar, restaurant and modern facilities. Building work was taking place so could not sit by pool but the beach was not very far away

Pros: Short walk to restaurants, bars, beach and shops. Nice pool.

Cons: I don’t think it should describe itself as a “beach” hotel. It doesn’t take credit cards and asked for cash almost the moment we got out of the taxi.

Pros: Staff is really nice. Especially the lady who works there full time. The pool area is quite nice as well. Good one-night stay if you land in Negombo.

Cons: Very simple rooms but not so clean. We had to ask for them to make our bed but they could not understand until they gave us one bedsheet to make it by ourselves... breakfast is very poor (but cheap as well)

Pros: Staff was friendly and pool is good for kids. Beacuse it is small.

Cons: Imagies on Booking looked better then in reality.

Pros: We were happy that this hotel is part of Jetwing hotel chain and the safety. I used to stay in this hotel and used to be very good, but not anymore :(. Needs good management.

Cons: Poor management and we were transferred to three (3) different rooms with (1) technical issue and the other was bad odder. Also the staff was trying to charge the booking website commission from me (Client).

Cons: Room service unavailability was the biggest problem. Also the food. Worst ever. Not value for money, english breakfast was weird.. Dinner was too spicy and could not eat at least 3 spoon fulls No kids friendly environment After all never recommend this place to anybody for this price.. The requeat i sent before reach location was not fulfilled and never asked about it.

Pros: Staff was excellent!!

Cons: There is no noice cancellation :(

Pros: Nice location

Pros: The room was very exceptional, and looked great, specially the bathroom.

Cons: The bathroom got clogged and the water started to overflow up to the doors, till it reached up to the room.

Pros: Staff was friendly and accomodating to our needs, even allowed to use the pool during off hours and to have drinks by the pool.

Cons: We were not provided with basic amenities like water, tea/coffee, whereas for a cheaper price most hotels do provide them. Not very well maintained and not the cleanest hotel that I would have hoped. Breakfast was ok, just not worth for the price.

Pros: Low price

Cons: bugs everywhere! Crawling all over the bed.

Pros: Property let me check in really late, like 03am cause my flight was delayed; so the night watchman stayed for me; thanks! Good basic accommodation close to beach location. For my tour pickup the next day; Great value for the area, good, cold air-con ans clean bedding.

Cons: Not much atmosphere.

Pros: Owner and staff did everything to help ordering taxi in the middle of the night. Very nice people. Great value. We will be back at the end of our trip.

Cons: Nothing.
