We needed a hotel near Colombo airport after a late night flight arrival. We booked a villa at the Tamarind Tree Hotel and paid USD160 in advance. We also booked an airport transfer for USD20. We were met at the airport, but no vehicle was then available. Finally, a decreipt old van appeared for the short trip to the hotel.... More

The Tamarind Tree Hotel, is a 10 minute drive, from the airport of Sri Lanka, near the city Ngombo. Four-star hotel, perfectly suitable for those who had flown in Sri Lanka and want to rest the first night, instead of starting right away on a trip or for those looking for a place to stay and organize before you fly...

Good job the bedroom had A/C as the lounge was like an oven. Large spacious bungalow room, very clean if functional. Restaurant had usual buffet but with chef cooking if you were lucky and didn't mind a long queue. Use this hotel for a convenient location very near the airport but don't stay longer. Staff are very good in the... More

This is a wonderful alternative to the typical "Taj" or "Ramada" style airport hotel. There are two bungalows to each little bungalow-complex (I think), each having its own verandah with two wooden/rattan chairs. The rooms were oldish but clean, only showers (with plenty hot water but less pressure), and sitting area with an older style TV, dining table, cupboard, etc.... More

Stayed here just for 1 night and after a long flight. Literally a 10min drive from airport. Room was spacious but could do with a bit of modernising. We had a large sitting area which overlooked the gardens which was nice. Lovely pool. Food was nice. More

Big bungalows we had 10A. The bedroom which has air conditionings is dark, the bathroom needs updating as does the kitchenette and sitting room. Dont trying plugging anything in the whole room bungalow needed rewiring. The restaurant is based in a very old extension, but the food was good, well cooked and plenty of choice. Near the airport so great... More

I agree with other reviewers. Close to the airport so a short transfer and you can relax after a long flight. The pool is good and the grounds pleasant for a walk. The bungalow was very spacious - separate bedroom, bathroom and lounge with a veranda to sit out on. The food was plentiful and of more than adequate quality,... More

The Tamarind Tree is a 3 star hotel which tries to imbibe the concept of an Eco-resort which is good if you have a short stop over in Colombo. The hotel is close to the Airport (takes around 5-6 minutes by car) and is situated in the interior away from the main road. This keeps a very calm and soothing... More

Average hotel which is close to the airport in Sri Lanka. Hotel has nice pool and grounds but would only be an overnighter if you were arriving or leaving. We only had breakfast and that was adequate. More
