“We stayed the night before departing from CMB and had a great experience at this hotel. Prabath and his staff were very accommodating. Breakfast was amazing, with a wide variety of Sri Lankan and English dishes. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious and restful transit stay.”
“Was a great stay. I was sick while there and my host, his wife and daughter took very good care of me. Made me home made soup.
Room is cozy and nice, grounds are lovely, house is right next to the river. Breakfast was made with love. ”
“Jennis and his wife are extremely helpful. The hotel is clean and well kept. Not only were they able to assist in my commute to the airport and back, they were able to help me to items I needed, plan other upcoming trips and even store my luggage until my final stay before returning home. Jennis even kindly gave me a ride to the bus stop and would not even take any money!! Top notch establishment!”
“The check-in process was seamless and welcoming. The front desk staff greeted me with genuine warm welcome. Throughout my stay, every staff member—from housekeeping to concierge—was attentive, professional, and eager to help. They truly make you feel like a valued guest.
The room was spotless, spacious, and tastefully decorated with a perfect blend of elegance and modern comfort. Shuttle was also very convenient. They also organized a tour for us which was very reasonable. ”
“All is good ( the service, food, and the room)
But, the bed sheet makes my skin feel rugged a bit. Pilling on the surface, not very comfortable at begging but got used to it later.”
“This is an excellent hotel when in transit or having early flight out of Colombo. We arrived into Colombo around midnight and our transfer driver was waiting to take us to vila diva as we had arranged which was included in the rate for our stay. The next morning we were transported very promptly back to the airport for a small fee. Both the room and transport car were exceptionally clean. I would highly recommend vila diva transit hotel for quality, service, location and friendliness”
“My highlight was meeting the owner and his wife. So knowledgeable about many things. It was a delight to talk to them and learn about the culture. This is a small hotel but it was really well kept up and very clean. The bathroom was great - a kitchen to make coffee and tea and a small breakfast if you wanted it. Not many restaurants nearby, but one that is an 8 minute walk. I chose to eat there several times (named "Coffee Boss"). Great selection of cafe drinks and a great menu of food. ……
“Exactly what you need before or after a flight. Great room, good ac, good WiFi, good water pressure on shower, and great service. Felt safe and slept well. ”
“Near railway station & Airport, If you can minight Arrive Airport,you can go outside give 400Rs get tutu taxi to this Hotel stay 1 night first , Next morning Go other city by bus or Railway”
“The hotel was oberbooked and didn’t informed us. Once we show up they try to allocate us in another horrible facilities.
We try to get the refund but they didn’t allow it.”
“Had misunderstanding at the same time we did not have privacy as it was mentioned for this booking. Had the share the unit with multiple family. Later the manager tried to help but not good enough.”
“Only gets one star because I can't give zero. I feel like all the other reviewers stayed at a different hotel. Think of this as more of an overpriced hostel than a hotel.
Our arrival was an inconvenience to the porter watching Star Wars, he found our paperwork in silence, grabbed the TV and AirCon remotes and key from a cupboard and showed us to our room. He spent about 30seconds opening the door, walked in and turned on the air con then turned around and walked out.
While the bed sheets and……
