Ubicación perfecta , personal super amable
Pros:

El transfer Al aeropuerto sea a la hora que sea incluido en le precio de la habitación
Krisan es súper amable y servicial ,nos hizo un desayuno para llevar delicioso para que pudiéramos comerlo en el aeropuerto , porque nuestro vuelo salía muy temprano
La ubicación es perfecta para pasar la última noche antes de coger un vuelo y pegarse un último chapuzón en la piscina

The perfect location near the airport.
Pros:

The Perfect Airport Stopover – Exceptional Hospitality!

If you are looking for a place near the airport, look no further than Ceylanro Transit Villa. Located just 10 minutes away, it is the ultimate convenient spot, but what truly makes this stay special is the host, Krishnan.

Krishnan is an absolute superstar. He went above and beyond, doing everything humanly possible to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. From his warm welcome to his incredible attention to detail, he defines what true hospitality looks like. He took all the stress out of our transit and treated us with such genuine kindness.

The villa itself is excellent, but Krishnan’s service is what makes it a 5-star experience. We cannot recommend this place—and Krishnan—highly enough!

Nice, beautiful stay and will definitely recommend to anyone.
Pros:

The manager was very welcoming , the rooms were very clean and comfortable, and he also prepared our Sri Lankan dinner, which was delicious!

Cons:

There was a rolling blackout which wasn’t the property’s fault, so without a/c, the pool made it bearable. It does reside close to airport and would occasionally hear the planes taking off, but didn’t affect our sleep.

Stylish, comfortable, Service orientiert und sehr sauberer stay
Pros:

Die Unterkunft war super sauber, hatte einen tollen Stil, man hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt, umgeben von tropischen Palmen und ein ausgesprochen tolles Layout. Ein kleiner Pul zum abkühlen und viel Platz auf dem Terrassen, wo man toll sitzen konnte, denn sie waren sonnengeschützt durch die Lamellen. Ich kann dieses Hotel nur empfehlen. Es hat unsere Erwartungen für einen Transit Hotel wirklich übertroffen. Und wir haben so spät abends noch ein leckeres Essen gezaubert bekommen. Keshan hier war ein exzellenter Ansprechpartner, für alle kleinen und großen Problemchen. Extrem hilfsbereit und super freundlich. Wir würden dieses Hotel jederzeit wieder buchen.

Cons:

Alles top
