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)

Pros:

Kishan was great in arranging everything that was needed for my one night stay. He arranged a transfer, dinner and breakfast at the time in needed. Room was quite, I could sometimes hear a plane passing by but never in a disturbing way, even when falling asleep.

Cons:

Curtains dont really close of outside light so room remains quite light until the lights around the pool are turned off.

Tolles Hotelzimmer Flughafennähe mit kostenlosem Transport zum Flughafen. Außerordentliches nettes Personal, das sehr be
Pros:

Die Lage zum Flughafen und der im Preis inbegriffene Flughafentransfer mitten in der Nacht

Cons:

Da ich wusste, dass ich in unmittelbarer Umgebung des Flughafens übernachtete, war mir klar, dass es in der Nacht auch laut ist.

Perfect transit option.
Pros:

Very nice host, good breakfast and clean rooms.
The included airport shuttle worked perfect, was on time and dropped us right in front of departure.
The location is perfect for transit, but there is not much else to do around.

Above average hotel close to airport .
Pros:

Nice design . Close to airport . Nice staff . Clean . Village vibe . They provide earplugs ( you’ll need them !) nice white washed furniture.

Cons:

Right under flight path . Noisy and hotel vibrates . Poor breakfast . Toiletaries need an upgrade . White light could be replaced with warm white throughout . Tea should come in foils so they not exposed to climate .
