A quiet and cozy stone house near the airport.
Pros:

Unusual lovely stone house. Very large room with A/C. Nice bath with a nice hot shower. The owner went beyond as he recommended a dinner spot, drove us there and picked us up. A drive to the airport was included.

Very comfortable clean option close to the airport! Perfect hosts.
Pros:

We stayed only for one night when we flew in late to Colombo. It is very close to the airport and the owner picked us up for a quite reasonable price. Very comfortable, quiet with a very good breakfast. Like most Sri Lankans the hosts are lovely. The property is lovely.

Cons:

Nothing.

Exceptional
Pros:

The hosts were incredibly helpful and warm and ready to meet us quite early in the morning at the airport. We appreciated the good communication!

The house is nicely decorated and very clean. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and private. There is also an array of travel guide books through out the accommodation which is great for last minute planners. It is walking distance to a busy major road with local restaurants and supermarkets however it is still quiet and lush back at Rock House.

Breakfast is available on the balcony each morning and we strongly recommend eating the delicious meals they have on offer.

Bohoma sthuthi for helping us have such an easy and lovely start to our trip in your beautiful country.

Best place to stay close to the airport. Quiet, comfortable and charming.
Pros:

The Rock House is the perfect place to stay if you're flying in late or out early in the morning. It's close to the airport but on a quiet street. The house is a beautiful old colonial building with a lovely tropical garden. My room was huge, and the bed was very comfortable. The owner is very friendly and can arrange an affordable airport pick up/drop off. Order the local Sri Lankan breakfast; it is so delicious. Great wifi too. I will definitely stay there again before I fly out of Colombo.
