VFM transit location
Pros:

Location, price and the staff

Cons:

The bed has a baseboard so it hits the feet of taller people unless they sleep rigidly without changing position - which I dont.

Pros:

Near the airport, and they were reliable with the pick-up. However, the pick-up is not free, only the drop-off is. They also arranged for a taxi to go to Weligama the next day for us, and it was a good price (comparable to PickMe price). No complaints with breakfast, and the hosts were very nice and reliable.

Cons:

I wish it could be a little clearer that pick-up from airport is not free. I thought it would be free since they advertise very clearly that airport dropoff is free. I guess pick-up requires more coordination so it costs extra? But they did pick-up for pretty cheap. Also, we stayed in a deluxe double room but the pictures make it look a lot more pristine than it really is. It was fine, but just know that it's not quite at the level of the pics.

Pros:

5Minuten Fahrzeit zum Flughafen. Es gibt eine schöne Dachterrasse wo man gut "ankommen' kann, mit Palmenblick. Bier gibt's in Supermarkt, 5 Minuten zu Fuß. Auch ein paar Lokale zum Essen nearby.
Ich habe ein Lunchpaket mitbekommen, da sehr früh zum Flughafen. Transfer kostenlos und pünktlich....
Klima neu, WIFI gut, Zimmer sauber. Owner organisiert Taxi zu fairen Preis. Preis Leistung perfekt,
wir kommen wieder, wenn Übernächtigung Flughafen benötigen! Flieger zum Greifen nah

Pros:

Very good for your stay before a flight. Hot shower, clean, rooftop and yes there is noise from the airplanes, but wear earplugs :) it's only 5 minutes from the airport. Free shuttle, breakfast was packed for us. Great!

Good proximity to the airport, free airport shuttle, nice staff, clean room
Pros:

Only stayed here one night to be closer to the airport, so location was chosen for this purpose. Nice staff, clean room. WI-FI worked well. Did not get the chance to try the breakfast/restaurant, however, got nice recommendations to restaurants outside the hotel. Free airport shuttle.

Cons:

Hotel does not accept credit cards, just so you know! No fridge in the room, bit of a letdown.

Very noise and not really clean.
Pros:

The location, the wifi, the airport dropoff.

Cons:

The towel was dirty, the shower was smelly. There is no breakfast as they do not provide takeaway like all other hotels do.
There was a party next door and the airplane sound above the hotel made it impossible to sleep.
No laundry facility.
