“Highly recommended for a pre or post flight from Colombo, under 10 minutes drive from the airport”
Stayed there for one night before our early flight the next morning, everything was perfect. Extremely helpful and friendly host. The property was immaculate and really appreciated all the little details ie: beers/ soft drinks available in fridge, toothbrushes/ toothpaste and toiletries in bathroom. Nice hot shower and very comfortable bed. Very convenient large restaurant’ Sasha’s (air con) just across the road.

“perfect stay!”
the owner is the most helpful and friendliest and the room was very confortable and clean! I asked him if I could store my food in the fridge, he heated it up and made me breakfast with it in the morning which he brought to my room. He helped me getting a Tuktuk for cheap and brought me to the ATM on his own bike. I'm very thankful. the property is very close to the airport which was convenient for me aswell.

“Excellent”
We had a very nice 1 night stay at Niwahana Hotel before our departure flight home. It's 10 minutes drive to the airport. The owner was very polite and welcoming. He also arranged airport drop-off for us. The room facilities was a little worn out but everything was very tidy and clean. Good Wi-Fi connection.

We had a bicand clean room with a comfortable bed and good AC. The owner is so kind and arranged us a taxi transfer to the airport. A supermarket is 5 minutes and a good restaurant on the opposite side of the hotel. We would highly recommend it.

Everything was new and spotlessly clean. Thoughtful details such as toothbrushes, beer in the fridge, fresh coconut on arrival.. Breakfast was huge and delicious. We will definitely stay again.

“Best breakfast around the airport and super host”
Honest host who is super helpful. Lovely place for a couple or single travellers. Very convenient location close to everything especially for eating out, beaches north of Colombo, churches and the fast toll road to Colombo.

Very friendly and accommodating owner, seamless airport pick up (extra for pick up but worth it as I arrived into SL late). Room was extremely clean and bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was extra but DELICIOUS and HUGE serving.

Indika was amazing, he picked us up from the airport despite our late arrival and made us tea when we arrived at the accommodation. We only had 1 night in Colombo before we travelled to Sigiriya, and he arranged our transport for us the next day. His home is wonderful, the rooftop is gorgeous and we were lucky enough to enjoy a fresh king coconut from his garden. Would definitely recommend for the beginning of your stay.
