We visited Sapphire hotel in dec 2012, it was situated around 45 min. distance from airport.which was quite far. Staff attended us with warmly and immediately given us room keys, Service boys were really quick.

Fantastic everything... this is not a resort but a hotel in the city and the area named Wellawatta... rooms and huge and nice and toilets are decent. Food is pretty tasty as most of the cooks are from india. Swimming pool and gym is worth mentioning as they have good equipments... Welcome area is good and aesthetically built upon... All... More

First off this hotel is a fair way from the town c.4km - some of the other reviews here indicate that it's centrally located which isn't the case. However we had no trouble getting a tuk tuk into the centre for around 500 rupees. The rooms were drab and we complained and looked at two other rooms including one "luxury"... More

Me and my family stayed here four nights. We used the room service a lot and the food was great! Good location, easy to get to the city centre, Majestic City or wherever you want to go.

Stayed here for the last night and a half at the end of a tour. When I went to my room, I noticed that the door was already open. As soon as I stepped in I realised that was to air the room as someone had obviously been smoking in there. I went back to reception and told them. After... More
