Könnte wirklich schön sein, wenn mann einiges investiert
Pros:

Die Zimmer und das Bad sind sehr hübsch-der positive Eindruck verschwindet wenn man auf den Balkon tritt-2 fleckige Plastiksessel ohne Tisch,komplett verrostete Metallgehäuse,die auch die Abtrennung zum Nachbarn sind.Der Poolblick ist aber sehr schön.

Cons:

Der Balkon mit absolut keiner Privatsphäre.
Die deprimierenden engen Gänge,überall Verfall

Pros:

Freundliches Personal. Lage direkt am Ozean. Fussläufig gute Möglichkeiten. Pool gepflegt.

Cons:

Technisch veraltet und heruntergekommen. Ungeziefer teilweise vorhanden.
Verschmutzter und angerosteter Kühlschrank,in einer Holzkommode , so dass er nur nach umstellung der Möbel zu öffnen war.

Pros:

La proximité de la plage avec accès direct, la grande chambre, petit déjeuner très copieux. Nous ne l avons pas utilisé mais la piscine est belle et bien entretenu

Cons:

L établissement n'est pas tout jeune, les barreaux de notre balcon étaient tous rongés par la rouille, les couloirs sont entretenus mais on voit bien que tout est défraîchi

Rövid tartózkodásra jó!
Pros:

Tágas szoba. Naponta palackozott víz a szobában. Hangulatos kert.

Cons:

A hotel egyes részei felújításra szorulnak főleg a recepció és erkélyek. Nincs széf és napi takarítás. Sok a szúnyog.

Affordable place to stay in Negombo
Pros:

Affordable place to stay if you’re stopping over in Negombo. Staff were nice and it’s right on the beach

Cons:

Whenever we asked for something, it took a while for us to get it and we had to ask multiple times. For example, we needed a pool towel and it took about 5 minutes and multiple nudges for them to bring us them. The breakfast food was only covered by tissue and so because of the heat, the flies were going onto the food which was not a great experience for breakfast.

Pros:

The hotel was in a nice location right beside the main street and the beach. The pool and outdoor area was very nice. The breakfast was decent. Good vaue for money.

Cons:

Staff were slow to check us in. There was a lot of mosquitos in our room and we asked for something to keep the mosquitos away twice and we were told that it would be dropped down to our room but it never came.
