Less than 10 minutes drive from the airport. real curate's egg of a place. Chaotic if friendly check in. Hotel and rooms seem very tired and in need of a major overhaul. This seems to have already happened to the restaurant which feels like a different hotel. Great food for both dinner & breakfast. All in all very handy for... More

Location is really good if you arrive late at the airport and want somewhere to crash nearby. I didnt hear planes though :) Room was clean and comfortable, though I didnt have a very nice view but I wasnt there for the view. The staff were helpful and arranged a lift for me to Colombo. The pool looked nice but... More

We stayed in this hotel on our way to Maldives and it was so convenient. The hotel has airport pickup which is so convenient. We were checked in in minutes. We were in B&B and the breakfast had good spread. We used the swimming pool and gym facilities there which were cool. Its has a vast area around the hotel.... More

Few minutes from the airport the hotel gives all what is needed-relaxation after long flight, swimming pool, walk in the garden and serves excellent food. So if you are to or from the airport, this is good option to consider. More

We stayed the first and last night in his hotel with our family of 4. Check-in and check-out were extremely efficient. We were allowed in our room already at 9 in the morning. Buffet dinner and breakfast was the best we had during our stay. More

We stayed at the Airport Garden Hotel in Negombo as it is close to Colombo airport (unlike Colombo town which is 90 minutes drive!) and we had a nights layover in between two Sri-Lankan airways flights. The check in process was easy and the reception staff and porters were all very helpful and efficient. The hotel common areas seemed very... More

We (3 adults) booked into The Gateway after a rather tuff trip from Unawatuna beach. It immediately gave us a relaxing atmosphere. Two of us had a standard room which was very fine. The small shops were fine too. Great breakfast and greate food and service at all time. The pool was great as long as it wasn't invaded from... More

We booked this hotel since it is close to the airport and since it has a pool. We figured we could spend a day in the sun, relaxing by the pool before heading off to the airport back to Europe the next day. We really appreciated the service minded staff and the fantastic lunch buffet of the hotel. The rooms... More

I had a 14 hour layover at CMB, so I decided that the Gateway Hotel would be a nice place for a rest. I am in the Taj Inner Circle program and booked an executive room. The hotel is very claso to the airport and I appreciated the hardwood floors in the room. However, the bed linens had a distasteful... More
