The Wallawwa was suggested to us by our travel agent for the 1st and last nights of our trip to Sri Lanka (we were doing a cultural tour of the country). It was our honeymoon so it was important to us that the hotel was special and it didn't disappoint. Set back from the road in private gardens, it is... More

Stayed here for two nights, one at the start of our Sri Lankan holiday and one at the end. A wonderful tranquil setting, less than 20 minutes from the airport, with lovely gardens with a small lake (a little stagnant on our second stay) and interesting bird life. Good swimming pool, excellent breakfasts and dinners with a good Sri Lankan... More

My husband and I arrived in Colombo early evening and were travelling to kandy the following day so we stayed at the wallawwa for one night. It is a beautiful hotel, the staff are excellent and the restaurant serves up delicious, reasonably priced food. The bathrooms are the biggest we had ever seen. If I were planning my trip again...

We spent our last night at The Wallawwa since it is so close to their airport; I regret we did not spend our first day here to get refreshed after our 3:30 AM arrival on Day 1. This boutique hotel is superb in every respect; the attentive, but non-obtrusive service was remarkable. Roshen welcomed us, took our luggage to the... More

For some reason, flights in and out of Bandaranaike International Airport are at the oddest hours in the night. As the airport is about an hour from Colombo depending on the traffic jam situation (pending the completion of the highway link), we decided that we would ease into our first visit to this country that we'd heard so much of,...

My wife and I recently visited 'The Wallawwa' during our visit to Sri Lanka and we were both amazed. The Wallawwa is a haven! The location is amazingly convenient for the airport - perfect for a stay when arriving or departing Sri Lanka. The staff, ambience, rooms, service, decore etc are all perfect. We both also enjoyed a wonderful massage... More

We used this hotel as it wasn't too far from the airport and so ideal for our first night. It's a lovely property in a quiet location. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was good. Lovely gardens which were very well tended. The rooms were spotless and comfortable.

Like most of the other reviewers we stayed here for one night at the start of our holiday (and again for one night at the end). It's only a small place (apparently Wallawwa means bungalow), set in a beautiful garden and miles away from the beach, but it certainly helped us to unwind after our flight from Dubai. The staff...

This is a beautiful hotel only a 30 min drive from Colombo airport, and a great way to have a rest before setting off to explore the rest of the country. The hotel itself is stunning, and has beautiful decor, which is simple but fulfills all the requirements. The breakfast area offers lovely views across the grounds. We only had... More
