Colombo International Airport Hotel
8.3 (47 reviews)

Colombo International Airport Hotel ★★★★★

📍 No. 124 (No. 21 A) , Dambuwewatta Rd, Katunayaka

"Since we had a short transit in Sri Lanka, we decided to stop over at place where it is which was near to the airport and this was the best choice because the rooms were very clean. The staff was very kind and overall it was very near to the airport just three minutes drive and we were there so I will become everybody staying there to opt for this hotel"

SeSaya Poshtel & Bistro - Colombo's Newest and Finest Poshtel Dorms and Rooms ★★★★

📍 234, 4 Sri Jayawardenepura Mawatha, Rajagiriya

"The building was fine, the location as well but the room was nasty . We were 6 in that room and honestly it felt like the room had not being cleaned for a week lol. No toilet paper, the floor dirty… such a shame considering the building itself was great… I think individual rooms should be perfect. The staff was great !"

Serene Villa Airport Transit
9.1 (32 reviews)

Serene Villa Airport Transit ★★★

📍 Lion city 170, Liyanagemulla, Negombo

"Even though I arrived late at night, they offered me tea. I hadn't booked breakfast, but tea and coffee were available for free."

The Beach Boutique
8.4 (13 reviews)

The Beach Boutique ★★★★

📍 510/2, Bimpandura, Pamunugama, Bopitiya

"Lovely Very quiet area but only a 30 min uber (£5) to the busy streets of Colombo or Negombo. Large room with enormous shower and outside hot tub (don’t know if every room has the hot tub) and balcony. The staff couldn’t be more helpful, I am vegan and they are bending over backwards to accommodate my needs including sending someone to buy me soya milk. Food and drink is very reasonable and the included breakfast is more than we can eat. Great pool and access to the beach."

Limeshine Hotels and Residence
8.6 (132 reviews)

Limeshine Hotels and Residence ★★★

📍 NO. 325/A Samagi Mawatha, Negombo

"The staffs were very helpful and attentive . Will definitely recommend this place. They have a restaurant as well."

Jetwing Sea
8.6 (79 reviews)

Jetwing Sea ★★★★

📍 100, 11 Porutota Rd, Daluwakotuwa, Negombo

"I upgraded to the Deluxe suite, which was very clean and spacious, making it ideal for a couple or more than one person. The staff, as always, was friendly, providing helpful information, and the breakfast was enjoyable. The only downside was that, because I stayed in a balcony room, the black birds living on the beach were somewhat annoying 😂. Otherwise, everything was fine."

C1 Colombo Fort
8.8 (236 reviews)

C1 Colombo Fort ★★★

📍 37 Mudalige Mawatha, Colombo 01, Colombo

"Really enjoyed my stay here. The staffs were very nice and they were truly helpful to me. Would definitely stay here again."

Bohemian Nest
8.9 (75 reviews)

Bohemian Nest ★★★★

📍 40A John F Gunarathna Mawatha, Negombo

"This was the best hotel in Negombo for relaxing after a long flight. 😍They accommodated all our requests, brought everything we asked for, and even let us take a swim at night. 🙏🏻🥰 The room was gorgeous, clean, and comfortable. Delicious breakfast. ☺️ 15 minutes from the airport by car. Thanks to the administrator, Azmi Mohammed, for his wonderful service. He welcomed us like family, helped with all our requests, and even had a great time chatting. I recommend this hotel to everyone; it's truly a TOP hotel. ❤️"

Colombo International Airport Hotel ★★★★★
"Very convenient stay if you are transiting from colombo. The only problem is that it is not accessible through the airport. You have to walk out and reach the hotel. Would be very convenient in future if there is a walkway bridge through the airport which can access to hotel. Would definitely recommend and will stay again"

SeSaya Poshtel & Bistro - Colombo's Newest and Finest Poshtel Dorms and Rooms ★★★★
"Amazing hostel in Colombo! The first thing I want to mention is the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. They are always ready to assist with anything you need, and the reception is open 24/7, which makes you feel safe and comfortable at any time. Another big highlight is the bistro located on the top floor. The place is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, and the food is genuinely delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the quality, and everything we tried was really tasty. The hostel itself looks stylish, clean, and well-maintained. The interior design is modern and cozy, and overall it feels more like a proper hotel than a typical hostel. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again!"

"After our flight to Colombo airport, we wanted to stay somewhere close to the airport so we could leave early to Sigiriya by private taxi. This hotel was absolutely perfect for that. The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, and quite new. There is an elevator as well which is convenient. Price quality is extremely good for this hotel."
