Short but very welcome stay. Thank you.
Pros:

This is a little Oasis behind closed doors. Home cooked curry was excellent. They even have a small swimming pool that unfortunately we couldn't use as we got there late as we were flying early the next morning. travel to the airport was included. Thoroughly recommend.

Cons:

Not much really. Even provide earplugs for the planes which we didn't need.

Extremely clean, comfortable and so accessible to the airport.
Pros:

Easy access to the airport and felt very clean and comfortable. We had dinner on the roof terrace and then breakfast early before our flights. Made to feel very welcome and airport transfer was included.

Cons:

Only the fact we didn’t get to use the pool as arrived too late.

Great stay close to the airport, with a relaxing atmosphere, helpful staff and clean rooms
Pros:

I chose this hotel for the last night of my vacation in Sri Lanka because of its convenient location near the airport. It’s only a 10‑minute taxi ride, and the transfer is provided by the property, which is very helpful for early morning flights.
The atmosphere is relaxing, and you can enjoy some time by the pool. You can also arrange meals with the staff, choosing both the type of food and the time you prefer.
The facilities are excellent: a good shower, hairdryer, comfortable beds, and everything was very clean. Overall, a great stay with attentive service and perfect for anyone needing to be close to the airport.

Cons:

The only small downside is that it’s on the flight path, so you can occasionally hear planes taking off, but they’re not very frequent.

clean, close to airport, nothing to fault.
Pros:

I was very well looked after, rooms were spotless and had all the facilities I needed for my stay. Perfect 1 night stay, ready for my early flight the next morning. Breakfast and transfer were provided in the price. As we were so close to the airport, you could hear the planes easily, but ear plugs were provided and I slept with no issues.

Cons:

nothing

Not good
Pros:

The Hotel is very modern and nice, as you see in the pictures

Cons:

The hotel is right below the take-off lane of the airplanes at the airport, meaning you hear an airplane all the time when you are sleeping, at least 3 times an hour. It is very difficult to sleep.

Plus, I had a very bad experience with the receptionist of the hotel. He did not charge us when we arrived. I had a medical emergency and had to leave at 5 am. I wrote to say I was leaving, but nobody came. Since this was an EMERGENCY, we left.
The receptionist woke up 2 hours later and started calling me with terrible English and a terrible tone.
I asked him to write through WhatsApp since I did not understand a thing about what he was saying.
He kept calling me during my emergency at the doctor's. He called like 17 times. I told him I would pay through a Transfer from PayPal or Wise. They dont have that (it's free to use, guys! you are a Hotel, time to connect to the real world, that's how people pay nowadays). Anyway, of course I ended up transferring the money through the bank (very expensive to do that). So, if you dont have any other choice of payment, you should charge the guests upon arrival. And please avoid the intimidating phone calls. (Owner of the hotel called me and said he left a warning at the airport.... we only stayed one night and it was 50 USD. Im sure that was a lie, I made sure I made him believe I believe his lie,,, but come on... do not intimadte your guests like that)
