    A family run hotel, very friendly and welcoming. Very close to the airport. Room was super clean, and comfortable. The staff were so kind and friendly and even dropped me off at the airport.

    To ensure my stay was comfortable in every way but one, the staff went above and beyond. My only minor concern was that I was unable to get a good night's sleep because the staff's conversation was a little louder than I had expected. I'm writing it here so they can fix this small problem and be more mindful during visitors' sleeping hours. They probably don't know about it, so unless I offer helpful critique, they won't know how to fix it. This location will be my first choice when l visit Sri Lanka. I'm excited to stay there on my future trips. It was such a beautiful and enjoyable experience. Many thanks to the amazing staff

    The hotel room was exceptionally clean, and the entire place was spotless.

They were incredibly attentive, flexible, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Their warm presence truly brought the place to life.

    The Aloe Hotel was exceptionally clean and a great place to stay. This is because of the hard working, professional staff. Ashan did a great job of making a delicious and hearty breakfast. While, Lasitha was kind and easy to work with. His service was top notch. Thank you Ashan and Laitha for your hard work and generous personalities.

    We stayed two times at the Aloe Transit Hotel - one night in the beginning and at the end of our trip to Sri Lanka. The place recently opened and all the facilities are brand new. Our rooms offered a comfortable bed, kettle, AC and a daylight bathroom with a rainfall shower. On the top floor a delicious breakfast with a huge variety of foods is served every morning - we also really liked the view from up there a lot! The family running the hotel as well as all employees are the kindest people, giving you a very friendly welcome and making sure you feel right at home. I had a sunburn and the owner offered me freshly-cut Aloe Vera to soothe it. Also they stored our big luggage for almost 3 weeks while we did our motorbikes tour through Sri Lanka. The hotel is located close to the airport and transfer is offered. There are a few restaurants, ATMs and a gym close by as well. We are so happy to have found this hotel and we highly recommend staying there when you visit Sri Lanka.

    Everything was great but would suggest a little oil on the bathroom door hinges as they he are very noisy at night when using the bathroom. Tv instructions would be helpful as you have 3 control units.

    New property and very nicely done. Super comfy bed and hot water in the shower

    Only thing I would say as it’s advertised as a transit hotel, with breakfast included we said we had to leave early and could they do us a small takeaway breakfast , sandwich and drink but not available , which was odd as every hotel we stayed in around sir Lanka offered this.

    Perfect location for the airport , free one way car service and the hotel was very new fresh and clean Lady on front desk was very nice and recommended a place approx 300mtr for food which was also good , if your looking for a transit hotel then this was perfect . We stayed only a few hrs before we had to leave but had a nice clean shower and couple of hrs rest

    Do not stay here. They wrongly advertise that you can pay by card (and proceed to take your credit card details) when they only accept cash. Additionally, we had the worst night sleep and were repeatedly woken up by noisy reception.
