Sri Lanka hotels?

Anyone ever travel down to Sri Lanka? I am looking for a trip to Colombo in
Sept and was wondering if there is a good reasonable hotel there and what is
the taxi fare from the Airport into the city..help?

Of course, there are plenty of good hotels in Sri Lanka, all depends which
part of Sri Lanka you are visiting and how much you are willing to spend.
As for taxi fare its best to get a car from the airport from the tourist
board, may cost a bit more but its much safer. Have a look at lonely planet
may find some useful tips.
Cheers,
Brian.

I stayed in Hotel Taj near the airport ( Pronounce TAK )
It is an Indian Chain of Hotels.
it was reasonably priced.
The hotel picked me up at the aiport without charging me

The cost of taxi is very high as there is a lot of traffic between the
airport and Colombo.-

On my way back I stayed in a very nice hotel in Ngombo ( do not know whether
the spelling is correct )
with the biggest swimming pool in Sri lanka.

when I hired a minibus it was about 3500 rupees a day.. it is the fastest
way to move in Sri lanka.
a restaurant should not cost you more than 5 to 10 dollars.

I payed about 50 dollars per night in other hotels in Sri lanka. they are
a little bit in need of refurbishing..
but there are very few tourists and there is no money

Besides.. Sri lanka was badly hit by Tsunami.
the war between the Tamils and the majority does not help the tourism
