The Trans Asia bills itself as Colombo's "leading city resort." This is a bit of a delusional self-promotion and experience will demonstrate that it strains credulity. The Trans Asia is a decent mid-budget urban hotel in a developing country. But for those desiring authentic atmosphere, the Galle Face is an obvious choice, while the businessman or well-heeled family will likely... more

I was in Colombo for a short business trip and since it was my first trip there, I decided to ask my business partner for hotel recommendations. Trans Asia Hotel was one of his top recommendations and I decided to go for it. The hotel is about an hour from the airport. Airport - Hotel transfer was arranged for us... more

Stayed for only 1 night but enjoyed my stay. My room was of a nice size, very clean and comfortable. Front desk staff was helpful. We did not get out much as we had meetings in the hotel. Breakfast buffet was fine. Felt that the entire experience was very nice. more

This really is a horrid property. Fair enough Colombo isnt Disneyland but this hotel is old and desperately in need of a major renovation. Rooms are drab, tired and very well used! I upgraded to a suite only to find a baby's dirty nappy lying under the coffee table ...cleaners clearly missed that but it was in full view! Apart... more

We had a great stay at Transasia for a week. We were greated with tasty fresh juices. The lobby and room was very nice, but we were most impressed by the warm hospitality of their staff. Everyone was excellent and so friendly! The food was great at ALL restraunts in the hotel and we ate at all of them. At... more
