Olinia Airport Hotel

We only had a short overnight stay after a late night arrival and early departure. Shuttle provided by hotel was good. Room was basic but bathroom looks very new and clean. Air con was not strong but they had a ceiling fan which helped. They also provided us with 2 huge bottles of drinking water.

We stayed here upon arrival in Sri Lanka as we were waiting for other family to arrive on a later flight. It’s 10 minutes from the airport, so very convenient for a one night stay. It’s perfectly clean and the beds are incredibly comfortable. They even have a swimming pool. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I can’t recommend it enough.

Das Hotel liegt praktisch in der Nähe des Flughafens, der (pünktliche) Shuttleservice ist inklusive. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und bemüht. Die Sauberkeit des Zimmers war ok. Das ein Hotel in der Nähe des Flughafens lauter ist, war durchaus zu erwarten. Jedoch liegt das Hotel auch an einer viel befahrenen Straße. Es war kurz gesagt, extrem laut. Wenn die Flugzeuge drüber fliegen, wackelt alles. Die Klimaanlage funktioniert, war aber ebenfalls sehr laut. An Schlaf war in dieser letzten Nacht leider nicht zu denken. Anmerkung am Rande: das Hotel hält Fische in einer Art Teich. Die Fische schwimmen in ihren eigenen Ausscheidungen. Es gibt gerade mal 10 cm Wasser für sie und nur Beton drumherum. Ein absolutes No-Go aus Tierschutz-Sicht.

You really can't ask for a sweeter hotel so close to the Colombo airport. Whether you are arriving late, or have an early flight, the Olinia is a true taste of what is so magical about Sri Lanka. Simple, clean, and charming – with a lovely courtyard, flowers, a plunge pool, and a great restaurant upstairs – why deal with Colombo prices and traffic. I highly recommend this place. I am currently sipping a cold Lion beer by the pool instead of worrying about my early flight.

We stayed in Olinia at the start and end of our trip to SL. Its best for overnight stay in case you are arriving late at the Colombo Intl. Airport. Basic Facilities are available. The rooms are clean and mostly offer what is promised. We just had once concern on our return stay. The room provided was smaller compared to the booking. It had a common door with the adjoining room.

It located less than 10 minutes by car from Colombo International Airport. As a transit hotel, it's very useful. It's located close to the airport, we clearly heard planes taking off in the early morning and at night. When large planes fried, it was a bit noisy. We saw planes taking off from the restaurant on the second floor. There was a pool at the back of an impressive courtyard, and simple rooms with a relaxing tropical atmosphere are lined up on the first floor. The room was spacious with a queen-size bed, a small LCD TV, a desk, an electric kettle, and a luggage stand. The bathroom had a washbasin, toilet, and shower. Only a soap was provided as an amenity, so you should bring shampoo and teeth brushes. There is a restaurant on the second floor that could be used for breakfast and dinner, and food delivery to the room is also available.
