Good place to stay
Pros:

The staff is very friendly and the breakfast was really nice.

Cons:

The location is a bit far from the beach, but we took tuk tuk and it is not such a big deal.

スタッフの笑顔に癒やされる、清潔で快適なネゴンボの休息地
Pros:

家族4人で利用しました。スタッフの方々がとてもにこやかで、初日から非常に気持ちよく過ごせたのが印象的です。お部屋は十分に広く、エアコンもよく効いていて清潔感があり、フライト後の疲れをしっかり取ることができました。立地については、道路の向かいに飲み物を買えるお店があるのも便利ですし、ビーチやレストラン街へも車ですぐの距離です。スタッフのホスピタリティが素晴らしいだけに、シャワーの点だけ許容できれば、ネゴンボ滞在の拠点として非常におすすめできる宿です。

Cons:

唯一、シャワーの温度がかなりぬるく、少し寒く感じてしまったのが残念な点でした。暑い日中なら気にならないかもしれませんが、夜や早朝に浴びる際は少し注意が必要かもしれません。

Exceptional service by Basil.
Pros:

We were only there for a few hours before leaving for an early morning flight. In that short time, Basil provided exceptional and friendly service, from the moment we arrived to when we left. He looks after every guest very well!

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.
