"The hostel is in a great location, close to the train station and lots of great places to eat nearby. But that's the only strong point. Everything else is average at best. The place needs renovation, WiFi doesn't work, cleaning in the shared bathrooms could be improved. But the location is great. So if you are looking for 1 night near the station - this would do."

"First hostel stay and it was a good one. Nice place and very friendly people. Made some friends while we were there too."

1 bedroom, in-room safe, soundproofing, iron/ironing board

"Stayed 5 nights here, and it was great! The chalet was a perfect, private place next to the pool. The hotel staff was fantastic, friendly, helpful & made me feel like I was at home. I made new friends & really enjoyed my stay at A4 Residence, and I will definitely stay here again the next time I travel to Sri Lanka. "

Iron/ironing board, free WiFi, bed sheets

"Quite clean. Bed did not have fitted sheets. Loud religious chanting coming from nearby mosque all night long, and was not possible to close the bathroom window (decorative cement blocks - so could not block the noise. Was not able to sleep."

Top Katana Hotel Reviews

Granbell Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is right on the water, with beautiful views! Two rooftop pools, an on site spa, jacuzzi near the gym with excellent views, nice staff. I love that my bathtub has a view of the sea, too. Room is very comfortable with good amenities. Highly recommend."

Marino Beach Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Marino Beach Hotel for five nights recently and it was perfect. The staff made the biggest difference in my stay, they were friendly, available, and provided services immediately. This makes a big difference when you are jet lagged and need something early in the morning or late at night. During this trip, I happen to go to the other popular hotels in Colombo and realize how friendly and nice Marion’s staff were in comparison. The rooms were clean and staff was available to clean/help at all times. Hotel is attached to a mall so it made shopping and getting meals outside the hotel easy. There are plenty of restaurants around. Easy to get a taxi/uber. Beautiful roof top pool area, clean, secure, and with a view. The only complaint is that even though we had a sea facing balcony, the balcony smelt like food/kitchen fumes so we didn’t go outside at all. It would have been nice to seat outside and get some fresh air."

Oreeka - Katunayake Airport Transit Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel. Staff so lovely and helpful, grounds beautiful, fantastic pool and pool area. This was a short stay, arriving in the afternoon for a flight the next morning but could have stayed here much longer. So peaceful, really unlike any airport transit hotel I have ever stayed in. We only had dinner and all had different things but all were delicious. Free transfer to the airport in the morning was exactly at the agreed time. Thank you very much for a perfect last night in Sri Lanka."
