This was our first stop on our exploration of Sri Lanka and it was a very welcome stop over after our long flight, We were one of only a handful of guests at the hotel, which is located off a quite busy main road, which has lots of choice of places to eat and shop for the usual touristy items....

We stayed there for our first night in Sri Lanka before starting our 2-week round trip. It's a great new hotel with very friendly staff - a little hard to find, but overall, we wish we had had more time there. The pool looked very inviting, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to enjoy it. Breakfast was amazing!

Six of us arrived late at night and decided to stay one night close to the airport. Reddot tours suggested St. Lachlans and it was a very adequate hotel for a one night stay. Beds were comfortable, breakfast was good (full English not Sri Lankan) and the rooms were all clean. One couple experienced a noisy air conditioner but ours... More

Good convenient location. Staff were very nice. Reliable airport pik up. Great basic place to stay if you arrive late at night or have an early morning flight. Clean basic rooms and nice breakfast. Not sure I'd stay for longer than a night though.

We stayed 2 nights at the St Lachlan. The rooms are big but not very well maintained. The service is nice but very slow. The breakfast was OK. The swimming pool is small but nice. The best is the bar in the evening. The other main issue is the price they charge. I would pay 50% less for the room... More

Since we had an early flight the next morning we decided to stay the night in Negombo. Our preferred hotel had no occupancy so our travel agency booked us in the St. Lachlan. We had room 5 which is quite a way up (no elevator). The room is okay for a night, nothing special, just a place to sleep. While... More

Nice place to stay, peaceful and serene. I haven’t come across such helpful and cheerful staff. The management is very flexible towards accommodating guest requests. The food was it best and the staff was brilliant. I would highly recommend this hotel to others. Great place to stay. . Michel - Kandalama

We spent our 1st night at the St Lachlan when we arrived in Sri Lanka and it really is a delightful little hotel - we had a huge room, good bathroom, excellent top-grade toileteries. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The pool looked very pleasant, didn't have time to use it. Breakfast was OK - delicious fruit but the... More

We stayed here for a night having arrived very early in the morning on a flight into Colombo, it is only 30 minutes drive from the airport. The hotel is situated off the ‘main strip’ with restaurants and other hotels and therefore is relatively quiet but does not have much of a view / outlook. The rooms, though are large,... More
