Arrived late after a long day flying. Check in was as swift as it could be and we were soon in our room. Clean and cool with comfy beds, toiletries available, water, etc. what more could you need for a stay between flights?
Breakfast was delicious, plenty to choose from. But oddly tea was not readily available though they brewed a pot when I asked.
The staff are all so lovely and extremely helpful and friendly.
Laying by the pool is bliss (still here!) and they’ve given us a complimentary late checkout as our flight isn’t until this evening.
Only downside is that no-one was there to meet us at the airport as promised. Our original flight was cancelled, I messaged the hotel with new flight details which was about 3 hrs later than the original, but never got a response so I assume it was not read. It meant after a long day of traveling we had to figure out how to get someone to come get us which frustratingly added another 40 minutes to our already long day.
But overall would highly recommend this airport hotel.

It was a comfortable property to stay at especially if you're looking for something close to the airport.
The only thing that could have been better is the play area near the swimming pool for children. It was not maintained well enough.

Really disappointed.
Booked a suite for family of 4 for 1 night before flight back home. Bed linnens were extremely old and rough, couch had some pretty extreme stains on them that made it highly questionable to sit on it. Not enough bottles of water for basic hygene. Staff were very poorly trained at check-in, took forever to get room key and the woman had no idea how to use a card machine and had to be requested to give me my card back.

a great airport hotel
a really nice airport hotel. Colombo airport is quite far from the city and especially from Mount Lavinia, where we were staying. We had an early morning flight. This was a great hotel for us to use for the night before our flight. Food in Mynt was excellent (and worth the price), things in the room worked properly. Great Wi-Fi and a nice pool.
