after spending a great time at Taj bentotta, Gateway colombo was a huge disappointment. U know the hotel needs desperate renovation, when the mural at the reception is cracked and thehotel looks like its still in the 90's. The staff is good and helpful. On checking in at 9pm for a 6 am next day flight, we decided to eat... More

I stayed at the hotel only for one night on my way back from my ayurvedic treatments. I had an early flight in the morning and this hotel was a good solution for me (only 10 min drive from the hotel). I cannot say anything bad about the hotel: the staff was friendly, the rooms were spacious and clean, the... More

We wanted to use the pool and have lunch only. So we were only day visitors. It was very quiet. While drinking our coffee and tea we found out the wifi cost us 500 roepia. After drinking our coffee and tea we left to find a cheaper place with free wifi.

We used this hotel before an early flight from Sri Lanka, and it did exactly what we needed it to. Its 10 mins drive from the airport, has a wide range of facilities, such as tennis courts, gym etc. We were able to get free internet access to allow us to print our boarding passes in the business centre. We... More

We stayed here as a result of a 7am flight and it served our purposes perfectly. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were a decent size, the pool was nice and the food was good. The place has been renovated and some parts are still a little old but it was no problem. We were at the airport in 10... More

We stayed one night here before returning home as we had an early flight. It's a nice hotel with good staff. We had a lovely room with fantastic views, but I wouldn't stay more than one night as it was pretty over priced. The buffet dinner and breakfast were pretty ordinary.

I would only choose this hotel if i'm coming late from a flight or if have an early morning connection and I want to avoid the nightmare traffic of Colombo specially under the current circumstances of the construction of the Colombo highway. The staff are nice and works 24/7. Room service is pretty decent and the connection to the airport... More
