Kahawatta Trip

This property is located a short tuk tuk ride from the airport. It makes sense to locate first or last nights close to airport with early or late flights since Colombo is a long way from its international airport. There is no suitable public transport to or from the airport into Colombo other than Uber. This hotel has a respectable bar and restaurant attached which is handy since not much is in the local area. The rooms are pretty basic and are really only suitable for a one night stop. I would use the hotel again if coming in late or leaving early from Sri Lanka.

Fantastic location . My second stay at the Kingbury. The best hotel in Colombo. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. The rooms are very clean and spacious. Highly recommend The Kingsbury for your stay in Colombo.

Not Good Hotel Dated

Everything was excellent. They nailed it!

Beautiful property on the outskirts of Negombo in a very peaceful calm location. Perfect for resting after a long flight of from some quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the beach properties. There are only 5 rooms. We had room 2 which is a beautiful heritage room in the original house. Breakfast is delicious. Lovely varied menu. Dinner is also good but note that the prices here are in USD and pricier than in town. Few things I didn’t like so much 1. There is no driver or tuk tuks nearby so we had to reply on the unreliable uber app to get into town. It’s about 20 mins and between 600-1000 in a tuk tuk. 2. The water in the bathroom is scalding hot. I burned myself a little the first night so it would be good if the hotel could add a warning sign somewhere. 3. There are no suggested tours or guides from the property. It would be good if the hotel could perhaps have a few suggestions on hand to avoid trawling through Expedia, get your guide etc. other than this I think our stay was pretty perfect.
