Main Terminal, Colombo Bandaranaike International Airport, Sri Lanka

Introduction

This is my review of a room in the Serendiva Transit Hotel at Sri Lanka’s Bandaranaike Airport, which is operated by Srilankan Airlines.

Neil Scrivener reviews the Srilankan Airlines Serendiva Transit Hotel at Colombo's Bandaranaike Airport.

Srilankan Airlines are a little-known OneWorld airline, and Colombo is quite a useful gateway to indirect (and often cheaper) flights from London to Singapore, Hong Kong and parts of Australia. This means that sometimes layovers can be over night – and this is a very useful way to spend those layovers in comfort!

Visited

23rd October 2022, over night

Opening Hours

The hotel is open 24 hours.

Costs

The hotel costs around $80USD per night to stay in for 6 hours. This means that if you intend to sleep for longer – you’re looking around $160 for a full nights sleep.

On the face of it, this may appear expensive – but there are major advantages in that you’re inside the airport, and there are no requirements to re-do immigration or security between flights.

How to Get There

Assuming you’re through security, or have just landed;

Go towards in-bound immigration, and you’ll need to stay as left as you can get, next to the glass.

You’ll see, just before a “Staff Only” sign, two elevators.

Go up a level, and follow the corridor past the Emirates lounge, and the entrance will be in front of you.

The Room

The Bedroom

The rooms itself is clean and tidy – though if you’re a Hilton, Sheraton or Marriott regular you’re find it rather basic!

Personally, I found the bed rather low – but it was comfortable.

The Bathroom

Again, the bathroom was clean and tidy. The shower was extremely hot.

A variety of amenities were supplied – such as tooth brush, shampoo, and even a shaving kit.

Comfort

For a sleep in an airport between flights, the room is fine. It’s comfortable, the bed was a little low – and there was somewhere to work.

With that said, I found two annoying things;

  1. Until around midnight there seemed to be children running around the corridors screaming, with nobody stopping it.
  2. Around 45 minutes before your room rental is up, you’ll get a call telling you to get up and leave. This seemed quite unnecessary!

Food and Drink

There were a couple of bottles of water in the room, but that was it. No minibar!

Almost ‘built in’ to the hotel is the Serendiva Lounge, which has food and drinks – however you’d need to pay unless flying Business Class. Although it may be possible to pay for entry.

Wifi

Strangely, compared to the Serendiva and Serendib Lounges, I found the hotel to have the best Wifi. It was really good and very quick! The Wifi was free too!

Conclusion

This is a comfortable way to spend a few hours (especially over night) in Colombo’s airport. It is by no means a luxury hotel – but it is very good indeed!
