"On a adoré notre séjour à Anam Hôtel ! On y a passé 10 jours. On a pu se reposer. L’hôtel se situe à quelques mètres de la plage, où on peut y voir des magnifiques coucher de soleil le soir. Le personnel de l’hôtel est juste super super gentil. Il y a une cuisine que l’on peut utiliser, mais aussi une machine à laver dont on peut se servir. Allez-y les yeux fermés, vous ne regretterez rien."

Top Ja-ela Hotel Reviews

colombo international airport hotel

colombo international airport hotel

10/10 Excellent
"(positives). Brand new international standard hotel, 2 minute taxi ride from the Airport. Beds are great. Walk-in shower is very ‘on trend’. US $50 a night, for a basic room is good value. (could be improved) Add a make-up / shaving light over the bathroom sink’s mirror. Add a fire-exit map on the back of the room door. Add fire/emergency/exit signage in the corridors. Add Snacks/drinks & price list, in the empty mini-bar or Add info about Uber Eats ( as no restaurants in the hotel). (negatives) none."
