I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is quite convenient for access to the airport, and the inclusion of breakfast was a nice touch. However, the hotel felt a bit run down and the service left something to be desired. It's a budget option for a short stay, but don't expect luxurious amenities or a pristine environment.

Rooms

My room was comfortable enough, but I could tell it had seen better days. The decor was quite dated, and compared to my friends' room, mine was less well-maintained.
Service

The service was not particularly efficient; I had to ask for tea and coffee during breakfast. Reception staff didn't seem very organized, which made check-out a bit slow.
Location

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, which made it great for recovering from our long flight. However, aside from that, there wasn't much going on in the immediate area.
Dining

Breakfast included a decent variety of options, including some nice local dishes, but service wasn't prompt. The Sri Lankan curry buffet for lunch was satisfying.

Staying at this hotel was quite an experience. While I was welcomed by friendly staff and enjoyed some decent outdoor facilities, my overall stay was marred by the state of the rooms and some serious noise disturbances. The pool area was inviting, but the location and cleanliness left much to be desired.

The hotel is a budget-friendly option near the airport with decent facilities. The room was comfortable, and the location offered beach access, which was a plus. However, the service could be improved, especially at breakfast where staff seemed disengaged. Overall, it's an adequate choice for the price but don't expect luxury.

The hotel offers a nice front entrance and lobby but falls short when it comes to the rooms, which were disappointing and in desperate need of renovation. While the buffet breakfast and Wi-Fi were decent, the overall cleanliness and condition of the room made for a less than pleasant stay. Some aspects like friendly staff made it somewhat bearable, but I wouldn't recommend it for longer stays.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While it had a good location right by the beach, the overall experience was marred by cleanliness issues and poor service. The rooms were dated and not very comfortable. The beach itself was not a pleasant sight, being littered with garbage and having an unpleasant odor. I would not recommend this place based on my experience.
