Pros:

Per noi è stato un punto di appoggio la prima sera in Sri Lanka
Colazione buona e disponibilità dello staff

Cons:

Struttura non moderna e bagno così così, forse dalle foto sembrava meglio. Come primo punto per una notte può andare bene, gli aerei si sentono parecchio ma non ne passano molti di notte
Non ho ben capito come mai il servizio gratuito della navetta con l’aeroporto è solo di drop off e non pick up (offrono anche pick up a pagamento)

A great way to start your Sri Lanka adventure.
Pros:

Very convenient location, 5 minute tuktuk ride from the airport. Ideal for late arrivals into Sri Lanka. Room was very clean, excellent air conditioning, hot shower as well as tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast on the rooftop was good. Host was helpful in mapping out an itinerary for me. Bus stop (next to the post office) for transfers down to Makumbura bus station 1 minute walk away.

Cons:

Couldn’t fault this place.

Pros:

Perfect place to stay before or after the airport. It is a small hotel with a rooftop area to eat breakfast or hang out. The room was clean and spacious, and the gentleman working there was so kind and helpful. The hotel is walking distance to a good grocery store and bakery, as well as a path along the lagoon.

Highly recommend this accommodation
Pros:

This was a great place to stay before our morning flight on the following day, Close to the airport and the room was really lovely, specious and clean, bed linen was fresh and clean. They also woke up at 4 am to make sure I got to the airport. Also, they provide free airport drop. Truly such lovely people who do such out of the kindness of their hearts.
