Spicepeek Boutique Hotel CMB Airport

Spicepeek Boutique Hotel CMB Airport

8/10 Good
"The overall experience was fantastic and we intend to stay here in the future. We enjoyed the spacious rooms, the delicious breakfast, and the convenience of the hotel being right by the airport. Staff were extremely helpful during our stay but also in helping to arrange pickup from the airport and a private car to our main destination in Sri Lanka. The minor issue is that the AC did not fully cool the room because the design of the windows contained cutouts that let the cool air out. The fan helped alleviate the heat but it would be nice if changes were made to ensure the room was "sealed"."

"Enjoyed our stay !!! except the check-in which was not very pleasant. Good location, enough big to have your own privacy and relaxation corner. Need to mention specially about the restaurant staff, and Mr.Nalin in particular. Very helpful, calm, smiling and always ready to accommodate. Keeping an eye to all the customer needs and making sure if any personal request done ,are fulfilled. Good food ,enough choices for everyone ,but personally would appreciate if more Vegetarian choices are kept ."
