The stay at Serenediva was a choice between staying at colombo airport or spending the night in Male (after arriving in Male at 1.25 am) so I chose to spend the night at Transit hotel serenediva. The room was big and the facility was good for a transit hotel. I spent 8 hours and end up paying 95 USD which... More

I stayed here for 12 hours during a long stayover in Colombo; I thought it would be less hassle than getting a visa and leaving the airport. In hindsight, I wish I'd got a visa... It started to go downhill at the reservation stage, I had to play email ping-pong with the hotel to make a reservation. They kept asking... More

The best thing about this hotel is that it is just a couple of minutes walk from where you need to board your next flight. ( You need to wake up only an hour before boarding) The stay is basic but comfortable. A walk around and you could reach the duty frees easily. The Food Vouchers which the Hotel gives... More

It's the best because it's the only transit hotel inside. I've stayed in here a couple of times before even though I wasn't 'in transit' (fyi, they'll ask for your boarding pass upon check in). Rooms are pretty much the same. All were large and spacious enough for the price they offered although design was pretty much simple. It can... More

SERENDIVA COLOMBO TRANSIT is located right in the Bandenaraike International airport on the second level. I have not made a reservation - this hotel has been given me by "Sri Lankan Airways" as a transit one for overnight on my returning way from Bangkok to Moscow . The company had just entered the Russian market and in order to gain... More
