The staff were really helpful and kind, they helped us with everything we asked. Specially Upalu especially helped us a lot. The owners of the property are also nice and kind people. Even If we contact them late at night, they help with the last-minute transfer. Also, some of the most beautiful things for us were squirrels and peacocks in the garden ☺️

Vivanta Colombo Airport Garden is less than 5 km from Bandaranaike International Airport and Katunayake Town. Airport shuttles are available at an extra charge.

At first impression the hotel seemed a little dated and run down, and we were surprised at the high rankinng on Booking. Over the next 24 hours our imression changed 100%. We were given an amazing suite, all the staff were very helpful and attentive and the food was excellent. By the time we left this was our favourite hotel of our trip and our initial misgivings forgotten. We couldn´t recommend it more

Featuring rustic Sri Lankan-style décor, Palms Villa welcomes guests with its own outdoor pool, a spa and a restaurant. The property is 10 km away from Bandaranaike International Airport and free WiFi, is available at all areas.

Second time I've stayed here the night before a flight and it has everything you need. Great value and even greater dogs and staff. Airport transfer is higher than normal price but at least you know it will actually turn up – I've booked two early morning tuks to the airport via Palms now, and both arrived nice and early, which is always a relief. Water dispensers to fill your bottle are a huge plus – there's way too much single-use plastic in Sri Lanka. The bed was comfy and the room was spacious and super clean. Oh, and did I mention the DOGS?

    We stayed several days at the Transit Studio in order to participate in a local event. Mr. Dayan (the property manager) is very friendly and helpful in everything. The room is new, spacious, well designed and clean. It is a secure and quiet location without disturbances and away from the main roads. We were comfortable.

    What a lovely hotel - absolutely perfect place to stopover before our flight back home. Very comfortable and stunning room with an access to a pool. But the best part were the people. We were able to check in early, had a lift to and from a local restaurant and drop off to the airport. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

    The value for money at Airport A4 Transit Hub was fantastic. I booked a very affordable room and had an airport shuttle, breakfast and a welcome drink included on arrival. As a single female traveller the accommodation was safe and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and lovely, and there were very cute cats around!

    The welcome from the family was amazing. And sharing with us there beautiful and historic family home. A colonial house from 150 years old you can imagine being there in those times. So much of the original build/design and furniture remains. The family are so kind. When we return to Sri Lanka we will definitely stop here again. The serenity away from the busy roads and airport gave us peace and rest before continuing the journey.
