This is a great haven to stay at if you're flying out early the next morning - super close to the airport with staff who are used to people coming and going at weird times (we left at 4am). There's a cute pool to hang out in, a friendly cat, great Chinese restaurant, and it feels safe clean and stress free. They set up a free can to take us to the airport at night, helped us with our bags, and we're calm and friendly as we prepped for our 27 hour flight! A great option if you find yourself with an early departure time from the airport.

You're not staying here for the sightseeing - but that's not the point.

Located perfectly for access to the the airport (5-10 min taxi), the hotel had clean and comfortable rooms with good quality air conditioning system. The staff were very friendly and helpful, welcoming us with a glass of juice and happy to let us checkout a little later than anticipated. There was also a restaurant on the grounds with lovely food for a very decent price. Definitely considering coming back before our next flight!

Being so near the airport, it was occasionally possible to hear the flights departing quite loudly, although this was not too bothersome. Also something to be aware of, the pick up from the airport is not included as we had understood.

We needed a comfortable place to freshen up and relax before our late-night flight, and this hotel was ideal. Though our stay was brief (only 5-6 hours), we were thoroughly impressed. The room was spacious and the bed incredibly comfortable, allowing for a much-needed rest. The restaurant served delicious food with generous portions, which was a welcome treat. The hotel's free airport drop-off service was a huge plus, making our departure seamless. Being just 10 minutes from the airport, we did hear some plane noise, but it was minimal and entirely expected given the location. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Bhanuka, who made our check-in quick and efficient. For a short stay near the airport, this hotel offers excellent comfort and convenience.

Nothing, everything was great :)

Conveniently located close to airport. Free shuttle included in price which was a great sized little bus so no issue with luggage. Reception staff very friendly and helpful with all our needs and questions. Lovely sized room and great en-suite. Very comfortable bed. This hotel is perfect for anyone transiting to or from airport. Small restaurant with limited choice but what we had was perfect and very tasty & well presented. No liqueur license but options of various beers. Highly recommend and would use it again

It was exactly as advertised and perfect for our needs of catching an early morning flight

I stayed here last week, on the 25/3. My first impressions were that I already considered the staff to be very attentive and friendly, and I also enjoyed the food in the restaurant. So I could see straight away why the hotel has such good reviews. It's also a relaxing atmosphere, despite being in a busy location near to the airport. But I was most impressed by the gentleman behind reception in the evening, who really helped out a fellow tourist who was in distress, due to issues with his booking. The hotel deserves a top review for that alone, and the man behind reception was a credit to the hotel and Sri Lankan hospitality, so massive respect to him. 👍 :)

We stayed there 1 night before travelling early in the morning. We were 3 adults and 1 baby. Room fitted us in fine, may have been a squeeze if we were there longer and wanted to all open up our luggage. Restaurant was perfectly nice for dinner, didn't have time for breakfast. You could hear the planes but it wasn't too loud and is to be expected that close to the airport, think I would have been a bit worried if you couldn't.

The room was very clean apart from something had been splattered across most of the switches (lights and sockets) and not cleaned off. They much have cleaned the wall but not the sockets and switches. We asked for transport to the airport and the car they booked couldnt take all our luggage so they had to order a 2nd and then we had to split up. Not really an issue but we had asked for the car when we arrived so they could see all our luggage and it was a little stressful finding each other again at the airport.

Location was perfect for an early flight the following morning. Beds were comfortable. Room was clean & quiet (except the AC) Food and service at the restaurant were both very good. We had an excellent goodbye dinner after 10 days in Sri Lanka

Lack of electrical outlets to charge phones / laptops. Despite stating several times our need to go to the airport very early (5:10am) the receptionist mistakenly wrote 10:05h. However the guy at the reception desk the following morning realized the mistake and managed to get us a car very quickly. Thank you for that.

Probably the cleanest bathroom for our whole Sri Lanka trip and the room was also clean and tidy. Everything you need for a short stop before or after a flight. They even had all the pay tv channels to keep us entertained for the evening. I used the pool and they supplied pool towels, would be very refreshing after a long flight. The free airport transport is what made us book this hotel, and it was a taxi van at whatever time you needed it. Two big water bottles supplied and big water bottles at a reasonable price from the restaurant too. We didn't eat here, instead we got pick me delivery.

It was quite noisy, in the afternoon there must have been a lull between flights, but by the evening you could hear the planes roaring as they took off. I still slept well with the aircon on to create white noise.

The environment, the people, the place, the staff, friendly faces everywhere! The whole vibe was just beautiful ♥️ We booked this hotel as an end to our trip, and I would say, best decision made. It was cherry on top of a wonderful time. We literally walked out of here with big smiles, and telling each other how wonderful our stay was. How beautiful the vibe of the hotel was, even the food 👌

Nothing we didn't enjoy, all good vibes and good times. We can't wait to book this hotel again for next time.

We stayed at Olinia for just one night before the early morning flight. The room was clean and comfortable, with a queen-size bed and perfect linen. The bathroom has a hairdryer and a set of small bottles with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and body lotion. We booked airport drop-off for 5 am and the car was ready for us with no delay. Drop-off is complimentary. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Will recommend Olinia as a transit hotel before the flight.

It would be nice to have a small fridge in the room)
