Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was clean and spacious, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. However, the dining options were average, and there was no breakfast included. The location, being close to the airport, was convenient, especially for early flights. The facilities were good, offering a value-for-money experience.
My stay at the villa was delightful, with a well-maintained bathroom and a spacious room featuring a large bed with a comfortable mattress. The staff responsible for exchanging foreign currency were incredibly friendly and accommodating, although somewhat clueless about Booking. The location was fantastic, nestled in a vast, nature-filled area and conveniently close to the airport. The dining experience, unfortunately, left much to be desired with limited options available. On the bright side, the facilities were top-notch.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean with a spacious bed, although the size of the room was a bit small for a regular double room. The staff was very friendly, although they seemed a bit clueless about booking and exchanging foreign currency. The location was convenient being close to the airport, which was great for early flights. However, the lack of breakfast was a downside.
I had a mixed experience at the villa. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and spacious, but unfortunately, there were bugs in them. The bathroom was well-maintained, and there was a lovely hall to relax in.
Staying at the villa was a mixed experience. The room had bugs in it, but on the bright side, it featured a large bed with a good mattress. The service was not helpful at first, but the manager and staff were very friendly and catered to all our requests. The location is ideal if you have an early flight as it is very close to Bandaranaike International Airport. The dining options were quite average with no breakfast included.
