Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Pettah?
The best time to visit Pettah is during the dry season, which runs from December to March.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny weather and lower humidity, making it much more pleasant to explore the bustling markets and streets of Pettah. This period avoids the monsoon rains that can make navigating the area's crowded lanes less comfortable.

For those looking to experience Pettah's vibrant street life without the intense heat and humidity, January and February are particularly good as they often offer slightly cooler temperatures within the dry season.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Pettah hotel for you.
How much is the nightly rate at a Pettah hotel?
Hotel prices in Pettah often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
