    This review is solely for the massage I received in the spa not the hotel itself. I'm sorry to say this but 90 minutes of lazy massage made my mood even worse, the spa is always overbooked giving you the impression that it's amazing service but it was only cuz they have 2 rooms only, I couldn't even feel her hands massaging me, I asked her many times to do it harder but no use, I got what I paid for after all

    I had massage and dinner full day here at the hotel, the experience was amazing. The staffs are super nice very friendly and helpful. Massage is also done with meticulous care, reasonable price. Dinner has so many choices, love all the dishes I had, if you want to try authentic Sri Lankan dishes. Special thanks to Ruwan Sethunga, Fom, Chaminda who helped me find my lost and found:) Super friendly and nice ! I was very touched, will be coming back here again!

    Superior service. Close to the main airport. I arrived at the Airport at 2:20 am, and they had a car waiting to transfer me to the hotel. Check in was quick and easy. Rooms were immaculate. Staff were friendly and very efficient. This hotel has a nice 'feature' where your room is yours for 24 hours after you check in. Since it is an airport hotel and travelers arrive at all hours, there is no standard 3pm to noon check in and check out. This is very helpful for early morning arrivals. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Best hotel near katunayake Airport managed by Taj hotels chain. Located facing to Colombo Negombo main road. Easily can access from Colombo within half an hour by expressway or highway. Well maintained hotel with larger area. There is much more facilities such as business meetings rooms, airport transport, conventional shops, spa and etc. Foods are very tasty and fresh. Prices also impartial when considering with their service. Recommend this place to your any occasion with unequivocal.

    The quality of hotel foods and services can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the hotel's star rating, reputation, location, and overall management. While it's difficult to provide specific information about every hotel, I can give you a general overview of what you might expect. 1. High-end and luxury hotels: These establishments often prioritize providing exceptional dining experiences and top-notch services. They typically have renowned chefs and offer a wide range of cuisines. The food is usually prepared with high-quality ingredients, and the service is attentive and personalized. These hotels often have multiple restaurants, bars, and room service options to cater to guests' preferences. 2. Mid-range hotels: Mid-range hotels generally aim to provide satisfactory food and services at a more affordable price point. The food options might be more limited compared to luxury hotels, but they still strive to offer a decent dining experience. The service can vary, with some hotels providing excellent service while others may have room for improvement. 3. Budget hotels: Budget hotels usually focus on providing basic accommodation and may not have extensive dining options on-site. They may offer simple breakfast options or partner with nearby restaurants for meal arrangements. The service in budget hotels is often functional and efficient but may not provide the same level of luxury or personalized attention as higher-end establishments. It's important to note that individual experiences can vary even within the same hotel category. Factors such as specific staff members, management changes, and unforeseen circumstances can influence the quality of food and services. Reading reviews from previous guests, consulting travel websites, or seeking recommendations from trusted sources can help you gauge the likely quality of a hotel's food and services before making a booking.

  • 5/5 Arpit C. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently stayed at the Vivanta Airport Garden Hotel and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with all the necessary amenities, including a comfortable bed, high-speed internet, and a mini-fridge. The bathroom was also very clean and had all the essentials, including high-quality toiletries. One of the highlights of my stay was the hotel's fantastic outdoor pool, which offered a relaxing and peaceful escape from the busy airport. The restaurant on-site served delicious meals, and the staff were always accommodating and helpful with any requests I had. The hotel's location near the airport was perfect for my needs, as it allowed for easy access to my flight. It was also within a short drive of many popular attractions, including shopping and dining options.

    Place is pretty nice. Tho because of the highway, you donโ€™t get the nice lagoon view anymore. The buffet is very nice. Well worth the price. Service is great as well. The Chinese restaurant is great as well. Would recommend it for the food. Itโ€™s a great place to eat and chat with a group.

    Very friendly and service oriented staff, I came to the hotel after an food poisoning, and could not leave to Denmark before I was okay to travel. The hotel was helpful with the correct food and drinks to help me recovery. I was lucky to have been in the hands of this hotels staff, from check in to dining until transport to the airport. Keep up the good work.

    Had a great time at Vivanta Colombo! The rooms are top-notch - comfy, clean, and really modern. It's right in the heart of everything, so checking out local spots was super easy. Felt safe the whole time, plus the staff was always there when you needed them. And the food - wow, so good! Tasty meals and cool drinks. Definitely recommend if you're in Colombo.

    Exceptional stay at this hotel! The service was impeccable, from the warm welcome at check-in to the attentive staff throughout our stay. The room was tastefully decorated, clean, and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable experience. The hotel's central location made it convenient for exploring the city, and the breathtaking views from our room added an extra touch of luxury. The attention to detail in every aspect of our stay truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this hotel for a memorable and delightful experience.

    We at ZorroSign had a company day out with a Cricket Tournament on March at Vivanta, and from organizing to execution, they helped us throughout. They complied with all our requests and suggestions and gave prompt responses as well. Their staff was good. Their food was good and they were much more flexible to our requests as well. It was a well spent day out.

  • 5/5 Rik B. 11 months ago on Google
    Located at a close proximity from the airport, this property offers you comfort and luxury at a not so expensive price. I had a stay of 48 hours at Vivanta and I thoroughly enjoyed my time . The rooms are clean and spacious, the bathroom is quite big and aesthetic. What stood out for me here was my dining experience and the hospitality of the staff. I went for the breakfast and dinner buffets and both of them had a plethora of options to choose from. The ala carte in room dining is also highly recommended and I ordered a few Indian dishes and I really loved them . The staff are always greeting you and are so courteous and accommodating. The spa is also highly recommended. I was highly satisfied with my stay here .

    This hotel is an airport hotel that is mostly frequented by transit passengers and airline crews. It is situated in a wide natural setting. The landscape is nice and well maintained. The main lobby is wide. The hotel is always calm and quiet. Its swimming pool is wide and open to air. I liked the restaurant. It has a wide selection.

  • 3/5 Joachim S. 5 months ago on Google
    Some things were good, others not. To start with the negative. My girlfriend fell through the swimming pool plastic barrier and got bruised up. Sprained her foot too, so now she looks beaten up and mowed awkwardly. Really bad HMS there โ€ฆ Also we found few outdoor sittings with sun. The one we did was with the pool, but people was smoking there and their smoke drifted toward us ๐Ÿคข. Also my sunset a DJ started blasting music for absolutely no one, really killed the mood and it was impossible to enjoy a quiet time reading a book. We were told we would get 15% off food since we were guest. But we did not get that discount when we ate dinner, and the reason was that we had checked out. If I new that it mattered if I ate prior of latter to checking out I would of course have done it in the appropriate order. Frustrating!! Breakfast was cleaned too fast! We got pored a nice cup of tea. Took two soups and decided to get some more food. When we got back everything (tea, plates cutlery) was cleaned away. That was a real waste. Writes too as we had a purse on the chair so table was clearly โ€œin useโ€ To the upside: All staff was really nice (sync as Suduari, Thomas and Chaya). Room was awesome and the food was great. Nice swimming pool. Staff gave us fresh coconut since they were trimming a palm as we happens to walk by, serendipity! They stores our luggage for 10 days for 20$ we really appreciated that. Also the fact that we could book the room for 24h was quintessential for us!

    Hotel is a bit old. There are cracks in the walls. It needs a good paint too. A lot of mosquitoes around the hotel. Maybe because of the dirty water on the side of the hallway. But staff are absolutely nice, warm and helpful. Room is pretty neat. Clean and tidy. But that's only inside the room. Around the hotel is a different story. There's a lot of trees around the hotel and it's right next to the sea. It's really quiet that you can hear the crickets at night. Room service is decent.

    We stayed at the old wing. Although the room was satisfactory, the bed's firmness and rough bed linen made it challenging for a restful sleep. On a brighter note, the dining experience and service were truly exceptional.

    The hotel is in very poor condition! It needs makeover.. It's a guest house! Not a hotel!! The bathroom had water leaks everywhere...basic bathroom amenities were not provided. Had to wait 30 min for water in the bathroom. Customer service pathetic. Have to wait for so long for basic things. Highly not a recommended place to stay.

    Very close to the airport but a bit far from Colombo city. Good place to spend a few hours in transit. Has a nice Spar supermarket close by. In room dining was pretty decent, the mattress quality could be better, it was too soft for us. Check in and out were smooth, billing accurate.

    Great experience to stay in Vivanta Hotel. All staff very friendly and helpful. I would like to express gratitude to one of the most courteous and very polite staff member in Vivanta , his name is Logesh. I enjoyed great welcoming atmosphere and great coffee at all time I visited the Swirl coffee shop near the lobby. Great experience with food choices. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

    One of the best hotels in Katunayake area. You can't find any sea view. But nice place. Actually this is mainly considered as a transit hotel. They have happy hours in the evening 5.00pm to 7.00pm. You can enjoy 50% for cocktails. They have enough parking area as well. They will charge 30% taxes on top of the bill. Service charge and VAT.

  • 3/5 moira o. 2 years ago on Google
    The rooms that i got was at the new wing. It was fairly clean (towels were old and dirty) but luckily i brought my own towel so that's fine. The room door latch is missing so don't feel safe. The staff at the reception and around the hotel premises are friendly. The dinner buffet at the hotel restaurant are good with alot of variety. However the restaurant waiter staff should be more vigilant for the safety of all guests in the restaurant. I have witnessed few guests were not wearing face mask while taking food from the buffet. Alerted the waiter about it but they ignore and do nothing about it or at least to remind the guests to wear face mask. I felt it is unhygienic as the guests were talking to each other over the food buffet without the face mask on. I am really disappointed with how the restaurant waiters ignore the situation despite the current covid cases increased daily. I hope the hotel management will look into tightening the protocol or at least keep reminding guests to follow safety protocol for the safety of all.

    The hotel rooms are nice and big, the hotel by itself is not modern but I liked it in itโ€™s charm of the 90โ€™s. The pool is very nice and there is two tennis courts. One is damaged. They have a spa as well. Concerning dining in the buffet, itโ€™s plenty of choices, although the quality is not that great for the main dishes. Maybe they didnโ€™t have a lot of customers when I was there. Lot of nice choices of desert though. I liked it overall. The room service food is great and fresh. Ans prices are really Ok compared to outside restaurants.

  • 4/5 Maqsood S. 2 years ago on Google
    Located about 10 min from Colombo International Airport Vivanta was previously know as Gateway airport hotel. It's located in its own gardens that has a large pool and a separate gym area Check was quick with a some helpful tips about the facilites. The hotel has a couple of bars and restaurant called the MYNT . The rooms are fully airconditioned and quite roomy The room I had would proabaly be a Superior deluxe as I was upgraded The room was clean Had free WiFi and a 32 in ( small) smart TV. A sofa and desk with and large windows to let in some sunlight if required. The bathroom fairly large include a bath tub with its own rain shower. The airconditioning was at the right temperature. The hotel has 24 hours room service. However I chose to wander down to the bar area to watch the T20 semifinals and ordered some French fries along with my Soft drink. Later decided to have a toasted vegan sandwich ( not on the menu but pleased to have one ) The next morning went down to the MYNT for breakfast buffet and was a bit disappointed see a limited offering of breakfast. There was the usual cereal and choice of breads and cheese. Some baked beans and has browns also were available and had to be replenished on my request However no sign of a live station for cooking up some eggs or omelets Limited fruit options Staff didnt seem to be motivated and you needed to get their attention to order some coffee . Maybe due to the limited number of guest due to covid-19, the breakfast offerings were limited I also a chance to use the gym . The gym equipment is mostly life fitness , but very dated. The gym needs an all round refurbishment The equipment is really old and the whole area needs a fresher look with some flat screen TV and a water fountain that has some paper cups The cross trainer that I used was powered by by pedal power , but did not really come alive and I just had to suffice by pedaling along without being able to select program. Overall satisfactory rating

  • 5/5 Allie G. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved my stay here! I came here after almost 3years. I realised they had changed the name and the bathroom amenities. The check in was smooth. The rooms have been upgraded with a nice touch of Tiffany blue couch in the corner which lightens up the room. I was looking forward for dinner buffet which I had always loved but due to current situation they didn't had it. As always I ordered " Spicy Devil Pork" and it was good. I had the Ja Ela Uura for dinner and it was so good! Its pork curry along with other different curries served along with steam rice and pappadum. For lunch I had Lamprais (Dutch oriented Sri Lankan dish) which was amazing! The portion was quite generous with different varieties of accompaniment. I needed more coffee sachets and they were so generous to offer me tons of them in an envelope. They have spa facilities as well which i didn't try this visit as I didn't like the massage I had years ago. Would love to visit again for the food!

    Rooms are big enough with old furnitures. And I can not say rooms are clean because I found a hair grip in my bed. Breakfast is nice and good enough. If you consider to have your breakfast outside, flies would be annoying for you. Gym is ok but needs renovation for some machines. Staff are nice.

    Great Hotel! We had an early flight out next day so we decided to stay over here as it's close to the airport as well. We had in room dining lunch which was absolutely fantastic. Enjoyed a snack and some cocktails at the Wink bar. They even agreed to pack our breakfast as we checked out early morning. It was a good experience!

  • 2/5 Roni C. 2 years ago on Google
    A very dull hotel, nothing being changed from 2016 when I firstly arrived here and stayed there. No attractions and nothing to do around. I mean you can find some other hotels better than this around the area actually. The food is also the same throughout the years. While their Chinese restaurant was quite a surprise when they reopened. Not sure now (They closed the restaurant as of today Jan 5th, 2022, yet, you can still get some Chinese dishes over in the buffet place.) Staying for work, is ok. Staying for traveling, you can find better around.

  • 2/5 Coco C. 2 years ago on Google
    Impossible to contact. I called about 100 times and actually got through on 5 occasions. When someone did answer it did not seem to be the hotel reception. Maybe it was the laundry but they did not answer with the name of the hotel and could not understand a word of English. Eventually sorted out our changes through our amazing travel agent Aaron who chased them up for days. In the end the hotel was fine, made the necessary changes and provided a car from the airport but just so stressful to communicate with.

  • 3/5 volker G. 2 years ago on Google
    Buffet was nothing. Beef like leather. Seafood grill nothing special, no taste, no dips, boring. Passion fruit was out. I asked for more, waited 20 minutes, nothing. Asked again. Waited again, 5 minutes and got a plate. Not my buffet but maybe other like it. I prefer a la carte. I was only for dinner.

    The hotel is beautifully surrounded by nature, and offering very delicious Sri Lankan dishes. The room is relaxing and comfortable with green view through the window. Overal very nice service and would love to come back in the future. However during my several visits I used the spa services and including my other collegues we were asked to pay some tips every time after the massage. This was happening before covid and still the same, now I reached to the point where I feel very uncomfortable. Not all of us are from the country where tipping is common but just to avoid an awkward situation we were forced to sign the 2nd bill for the tip. I have never met any hotel staff asking for gratitude personally this is really inappropriate for 4 star hotel and hoping this will be improved in the future.

    I stayed in this property in March 2022. Staff were courteous, stay was comfortable, Food was tasty & sumptuous. Actually surprised to see few negative reviews on such a beautiful hotel. Property is a short distance from the airport makes it all the more convenient.

    Nice place with limited rooms. Not like other busy hotels. The place is really calm. Enjoyed their breakfast buffet. You should definitely try their Nasigorang. That was so delicious a good place to stay in your layover. Very close to the airport.

    I had the pleasure of staying overnight with my family. The staff are so wonderful, attentive, kind and hardworking. Thank you so much to each an everyone of you for all the hard work, it doesnโ€™t go unnoticed!๐Ÿ˜Š It was my dadโ€™s birthday and the kitchen staff + fellow staff organised a lovely cake and some other yummy goodies on arrival. Considering it was a long and tiring journey this put a smile on my dadโ€™s face and made his day. The kitchen staff+ fellow staff were fabulous the following morning as well and went the extra mile to organise another cake for Breakfast. I appreciate all the hard work and effort you put to provide us a memorable service. The customer service and friendliness from the entire team was second to none. Thank you so very much to the fabulous team , we had a fabulous stay! ๐Ÿ˜Š

    It is one of the best hotels to contract bronchitis and asthma. The rooms are not properly cooled by the time you arrive because they want to save on energy. Due to this fact, when you arrive you will get damp bed sheets because of the condensation occurring inside the room. There was a heavy smell of mould in the room when I entered and after checking out the source of the smell, I discovered it is the AC. The intake system that resides in the wardrobe had never been cleaned probably in the last year or two. The dust settled on it was loose and thick. That dust accumulated the dampness as well. And I don not even want to see the cooler unit inside the machine. Probably it is all green. When I brought the issue to the Duty Manager, reaction was โ€œSorry Sir, I will tell the managementโ€ When I pointed out that this is a health hazard, answer was โ€œokโ€ with a nod of head. They do not deserve one star because they had a nice pool area and dinner, but a room in that filthy situation makes you think bout the hygiene of the pool and dinner. The duty managerโ€™s guest service is an absolute ZERO.

    The area is just beautiful with all the green trees surrounding the hotel. But the most important thing is the staff, WOW, they treat you like you are the only guest in the hotel, very attentive and friendly, every time I pass by, they welcomed me with such a genuine smile and they donโ€™t even let you open the door by urself. I was amazed by everybody specially Hiruni who delivered my room service order, she was very cheerful and nice to interact with as well as Veronica who called me to check if I enjoyed my meal and if there is anything she can assist me with. A big thanks to all the team. You really made my stay unforgettable :)

    Iโ€™ve stayed here off an on for 8 years. Iโ€™m really surprised to read some of the negative reviews for this hotel. I have always had a comfortable stay here. The entire hotel is clean, some attention could be paid to cleaning the elevators, but generally itโ€™s of a good standard. The staff are some of the friendliest people I have encountered whilst staying in hotels around the world. The bedrooms are of a high standard and the restaurant always has a good selection of food. Please support this hotel, when Sri Lanka as a country are going through some really tough times.

    Great hotel atmosphere! Always smiling faces and eyes. Friendly employees. Respectful and courteous to guests. Delicious Sri Lankan food. Thank you! Please change the soaps in the bathroom. The soaps don't smell good. :)

    Duty manager very rude to guests. Kept cutting me off as I requested to use one of the facilities. Was only interested in getting the names of the staff who helped me. Doesnโ€™t offer any solutions. Even when I showed him the document that supported my right to use the facility. Not recommended at all.

Very special thanks extended to Chef Noyel, Chef Dixon and Chathuri who are the most wonderful to serve customers and take care of them.They surprised me on my birthday ๐ŸŽ‚and sang for mein the restaurant with a beautiful cake and what not. These guys are really wonderful with next level customer service. Our stay couldn't be any better. The most peaceful yet most happening place after many tryouts. I am just in love with them. Well done Vivanta. Your hotel, food and staff are super duper. Keep up these high standards and especially them ๐Ÿ˜Š

    We are so fortunate to have this place just a few minutes drive away from home. Food is stunning, both Wink and Mynt restaurants. Cocktails wow, wine great and lovely selection of liquor and beer. Itโ€™s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Staff are very professional, extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. Shoutout to Poorna, Asanka, Randika, Melvin, Sajith and Alvis for giving us such a great service every time we visit. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. Highly recommended! Wouldnโ€™t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Seeduwa - Negambo area. Love this place and will continue to visit. Cheers!
