Shady Transit Hotel

I had a wonderful stay at this guest house! The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. The host was very kind and helpful throughout my stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area! 🌿✨

We booked this hotel as we were arriving late into Colombo airport and just needed somewhere nearby for a one-night stay. The hotel arranged airport pick-up for us, and we were warmly welcomed on arrival. The room was very spacious and perfect for our family of four. It was basic, as expected, but spotlessly clean. Bottled water, tea, and coffee were also provided. We left early the next morning, so it was simply a place to sleep - perfect for what we needed and great value for money. A special mention to Ashan who was so welcoming and helpful with trip ideas for our holiday.

This hotel is great for Airport stop!! However, the top floor is very nosy with wind and rain. Due to being very high up you are level with the trees so getting to sleep is tricky! With it being a short distance from the airport, planes departing and arriving are very frequent, coming and going every 20-40 minutes which can’t be helped but something to be aware of when booking. The room is very clean, spacious and great AC. The bed is wooden frame so very squeaky and the mattress was not comfortable unfortunately. Shower was powerful in the evening but hardly any pressure in the morning. The owner was lovely and very accommodating with helping get a tuktuk to the airport. Thank you!
