What guests think

At Vivanta Colombo, Airport Garden, travellers consistently highlight the convenient airport location and friendly staff, with many appreciating the big pool and gardens, although visible wear in some areas shows the property can feel dated and in need of upkeep.

Rooms are often comfortable and spacious, but several reviews note dated decor, maintenance problems, or occasional bugs. Food is widely praised, especially the buffet and Chinese restaurant, though a few guests mention limited variety and one report of illness. Service shows lapses in reliability, with slow check-in, missed wake-up calls, unanswered phones, and occasional airport pickup issues. Overall, it suits short airport stopovers more than a premium resort stay.

Arrived late after a long day flying. Check in was as swift as it could be and we were soon in our room. Clean and cool with comfy beds, toiletries available, water, etc. what more could you need for a stay between flights? Breakfast was delicious, plenty to choose from. But oddly tea was not readily available though they brewed a pot when I asked. The staff are all so lovely and extremely helpful and friendly. Laying by the pool is bliss (still here!) and they’ve given us a complimentary late checkout as our flight isn’t until this evening. Only downside is that no-one was there to meet us at the airport as promised. Our original flight was cancelled, I messaged the hotel with new flight details which was about 3 hrs later than the original, but never got a response so I assume it was not read. It meant after a long day of traveling we had to figure out how to get someone to come get us which frustratingly added another 40 minutes to our already long day. But overall would highly recommend this airport hotel.

We decided to stay here to be close to airport prior to our flight and pay the upgrade for transport to airport. In that respect, this hotel did help us be close to the airport and the transport to airport was seamless. In addition, the people were extremely friendly. However, the rest of the stay was lacking. This was rated a 4 star hotel, but I think it is more a 3 star hotel. Our toliet didn't flush properly and the bidet hose leaked when we flushed. This was even more problematic because I got sick with food poisoining from the hotel buffet the night after eating there right before our flight. I did see some bugs in the room. The pool and amenities look much nicer in the photos than in real life. I wish I loved it because the people were so nice, but I would not go back due the above.

It was a comfortable property to stay at especially if you're looking for something close to the airport. The only thing that could have been better is the play area near the swimming pool for children. It was not maintained well enough.

Great overnight stay before connecting flight next morning. Hotel is less than 10 mins from airport which was great after long flight. Hotel offered a complimentary transfer and had a car waiting to pick us up from the airport. Service was fantastic as was the buffet breakfast. Enormous pool which was lovely to swim in before heading back to airport.

Booked a suite for family of 4 for 1 night before flight back home. Bed linnens were extremely old and rough, couch had some pretty extreme stains on them that made it highly questionable to sit on it. Not enough bottles of water for basic hygene. Staff were very poorly trained at check-in, took forever to get room key and the woman had no idea how to use a card machine and had to be requested to give me my card back.

a really nice airport hotel. Colombo airport is quite far from the city and especially from Mount Lavinia, where we were staying. We had an early morning flight. This was a great hotel for us to use for the night before our flight. Food in Mynt was excellent (and worth the price), things in the room worked properly. Great Wi-Fi and a nice pool.
