Airport Villa, hotel in Ja-Ela

Situated within 11 km of St Anthony's Church and 29 km of R Premadasa Stadium, Airport Villa features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Katunayake.

This place is just ok for transit, not goo enough to stay more than one night. However, the staff was extremely helpful and polite. The staff members went out of the way to help us. They came several times and asked how they can help us. Some of the nicest people we met in Sri Lanka. Their helpful attitude override those negative experiences

    The cosy ambience.. from the room to the porch, and from the garden to the beach (the overlooking stretch of beach is super clean and undisturbed by locals).

    Great homestay with just a few rooms. Rooms and bathroom were clean, enjoyed hearing the sound of the sea just outside our door. Location is conveniently near airport. The thing that stood out for us was the service and the food. The young man was extremely friendly and kind, served up great local food, explained the menu, checked in on us during and after our meals. We enjoyed our stay!
