This was a great stay, we came in late after a long flight and just wanted a place to crash for the night before heading south. It was quiet, clean and cool: we had AC and bed was comfy: a private shower/bathroom. My host was lovely and got up early to make us HUGE breakfast before we caught the train in Colombo. He arranged our (reasonably priced) taxi to the station and gave us free fresh bananas from his yard for the ride. 10/10 for the quick stay. Thanks again

Peaceful night's sleep and friendly staff
Peaceful nice rest in a nearby airport hotel. The AC is cold, room very clean, food is great. The manager was ver helpful and assisted is without day trip plans. We were able to store our luggage here after check out. Nothing super fancy with this hotel. But a friendly staff, and quiet evening makes a difference when you have a long day of travel. We had a long layover and only stayed 1 night But will be staying here again, should we visit Colombo.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff/manager were incredibly friendly and helpful. The manager went out of his way to help me out and gave me tons of tips on what sites to see and places to visit. He also helped out when my driver couldn't find the place. The hotel itself is very simple and a bit old. The room was clean and had the basics. It was a bit noisy, but that was from people in the courtyard, so it could have been just because of the other guests that were there at the same time. It worked at well for me as I was only there for one night and not even 12 hours, and while the location is pretty far from the action and somewhat difficult to find, it is very close to the airport, which is convenient.

Location was a challenge but a big thank you to the owner for his understanding. We greatly appreciated the taxi service to Colombo on our last night in Sri Lanka.

we always make sure we offer the guests clean , neat and best possible room with all amenities we have mention in that room category. amenities including free WiFi , television , private bathroom including hot water shower .toiletries , towels and all for this just between 25- 30 US $ price. we Understand that we are not the best hotel sri lanka but Value for money is very high as most of our guests rates Us. the Towels are part of room amenities and in case if our staff forgets to provide that its just a matter of asking it and we always provide it. Our breakfast price is 5 US $ and we provides Eggs, Bread , Lentil Dip , Coconut sambol , fruit Juice and tea or coffee for that price. if you are not satisfy for all these for 5 US $ you have come to the wrong Country. your the first person that remained anonymous and rate us 2 out of 10. for the future guests who will read my reply to your review will decide whether they should avoid this place or not for the price that pay and what they get.

Convenient, clean and friendly caring service.
Thilon Hotel is a $10 USD taxi ride from the International Airport, as I arrived late at night I called Thilon Hotel and they organised but all you need to do is go to Stall 5,Cason’s at the airport and they will have taxi for you otherwise get tuk-tuk a short walk away from the airport. Thilon Hotel is clean and modern with wifi, fan and a/c. Very convenient and you can purchase breakfast but I did not use so cannot comment. The service is friendly and helpful, the only complaint I had was the noise. The rooms are close together, my room was right near the service area and some people came in late at night and talked until 3am. I was tired from flight so eventually got to sleep at 3.00 am and then was woken at 6.00 am because the guy next door had a flight to catch and they gave him a wake-up call by banging on his door. Apart from that the place is a fabulous stopover in between flights.

Perfect stop before an early flight
Being 5-10 mins from the airport it was perfect place to stay for an early flight the next day. The staff were lovely, and the accommodation was better than expected. Hot water, AC, TV and internet all worked great. Tuk Tuk ride was about 250 Rupee and can be organised when you check in, vs the $12 shuttle through the website.

Thank you for taking time to review us. Unfortunately we get some guests who book a room for 20 $ and expect 100 $ value for it . You have not mentioned what we have done to get your 2/10 rating . If you have mentioned it we could have improved ourselves and serve other guests better at least . Thanks

공항 근처에 있어서 매우 가깝고 콜롬보가서 고생하지 말고 시간이 어정쩡할 경우 여기서 하루 묵고 편히 다음 경로를 가는것도 괜찮을듯해요. 가격도 저렴하고 가성비 좋아요^^
