Dismal performance
Pros:

Relatively close to the airport if that is important to you. Tried calling the reception and the duty manager multiple times from the room, no answer ever. When I went down I brought it to their attention. No apology just blank faces. Ordered a pork chop and asked for broccoli instead of potatoes or rice. Was told not available but could be substituted by cauliflower. Then got some wilted salad leaves. No dressing, no tomatoes, just wilted leaves. Finally after some debate I got Cauliflower. Then had some unidentifiable something on my plate. The chef then came to identify it and proceeded to put his fingers on my plate to taste. Mortified. How do these places survive? Is bad and mediocre the new norm? Or is their guests profile just so bad that no standard is acceptable? On check out they even charged service charge for bad service. After complaining about everything the duty manager refunded me but only the service charge. Dismal performance by an incompetent staff team.

Overpriced Hotel With Questionable Service
Pros:

The hotel is right next to the airport, yet they charge $15 for a 10-minute taxi transport — a complete ripoff by Sri Lankan standards. Because the property sits away from the main road, guests cannot simply get their own taxi, especially with luggage. You are basically forced to use the hotel’s taxi transport, and they take full advantage of it.

Rooms are okay, but the sound insulation in my room was poor and I could hear almost everything from the corridor and neighboring rooms, making it difficult to sleep. Breakfast was also not included despite the high room price.

An uncomfortable incident happened in the morning when a staff member opened my room door without knocking or ringing first while I was in bed. Because the bed is positioned directly next to the entrance, he was instantly standing right beside my bed looking down at me while I was lying there in my pajamas. Because he was holding the door open, people walking through the corridor could also directly look at me lying there in my pajamas from close range. Completely unacceptable and highly unprofessional.

Overall, the hotel may look decent at first glance, but the poor privacy standards, expensive taxi transport, and weak value for money made this a disappointing stay. Not recommended, and I will not stay here again.

Overnight stay on arrival
Pros:

Food : 3/5, Not as expected compared to Indian Taj. Limited veg options and not tasty.
We requested meal preference on email also earlier and also told during check in but during breakfast when we didn't get veg option and Jain options, talked to Indian chef but she wasn't informed, so it was communication gap between customer care team and restaurant staff.

Rest everything was good. We just stayed overnight, arrived late night around 1am.

Very disappointing and not as advertised on booking.com
Pros:

Convenient for the airport and nice gardens with lots of birds. The Chinese restaurant was nice.

Cons:

Not as advertised. Old & tired and no tennis courts, bath robes, mini bar or airport shuttle as advertised. Oh and frequent power cuts. Yes it is handy for the airport but it is a $15 transfer in a hotel car for a 10 minute journey.

Need to improve pool area
Pros:

Location, room ok, Lobby cafe made good espresso coffee.

Room was modern, everything worked.

Cons:

There is no shade by the large pool so we're unable to use it, the pool
was the reason we chose the hotel.
Also a lot of tiny red ants crawling around by the pool. An attractive area but cannot stay by the pool because NO shade/ants.
Had to wait for a flight the next day but were unable to relax by the pool which was the whole plan.
Very simple fix. Move the chairs, add shade.
Nobody on duty by the pool, not able to get refreshments.
Buffet food was ok but not great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Home Away From Home
Pros:

My recent stay at Vivantha Colombo, Airport Garden was exceptional. The service was absolutely amazing. Every staff member was kind, friendly, and genuinely committed to making my stay comfortable. Their warmth made me feel truly cared for.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, kindness, and a truly memorable stay. Special shout to the GM, Mr. Anthony, all the staff of the Mynt restaurant and every simple person that I have met there.

With much love,

Wasana (March 10th 2026 to March 17th 2026)
A BIG Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Convenient and very nice close to airport
Pros:

We returned to Sri Lanka only one night passing thru Colombo. The Vivante was close to the airport, they arranged transport from/to the airport that was reasonable and convenient. The room was spacious and immaculate, very comfortable. There were several dining options which was easy for us as well. All the staff was friendly and helpful.
