The 100% perfect place for the independent traveller to start and finish expolring Sri Lanka.
Pros:

Incredible hospitality, friendly, warm and extremely helpful information and support from Basil, Asha and the rest of the staff. Great breakfasts! All necessary facilities available. Central location with easy access to rail and bus stations, and the airport, as well as the beach of course! We will always choose to stay here on future trips.

Pros:

Really good experience. Host Mr Basil was extremely hospitable. He helped us to arrange taxi to airport, he was always available on WhatsApp if we needed help. We had just one night there but he allowed us to extend stay so we didn't have to carry our luggages with us. The location was great, close to attractions and restaurants. I recommend it if you need to stay in Negombo.

作為剛抵達斯里蘭卡短暫休息一晚，隔天開始行程到其他地方來說是很好的選擇，價格很便宜
Pros:

工作人員的服務態度讓人非常滿意，剛抵達斯里蘭卡對公車系統還不熟，管理員可以給予非常清楚的資訊，還陪我一起在門口等公車確認我有搭到對的公車才離開

Cons:

早餐很普通，但住宿價格很便宜，所以也能接受
