    Great hosts. So cozy. Exactly what you need after a long flight, or before traveling. Convinient and very close to the airport, which always give me peace of mind. Since I traveled many times to Srilanka, that's the best place near the airport.

    Clean, no fuss accommodation. Large rooms. Perfect location for an early morning transfer to the airport or a late night transfer from the airport. Great meals just around the corner at the Brickwall Cafe and Restaurant.
