Pros:

Just a few steps away from the fish market. I walked to the market and then went to the canal. A local guided me and it was a great insight.
We were woken up by the crow sounds in the morning. Not a bad thing for me though. We chose here for the fish market so we expected this already.
Best thing are the staffs. Always smiling and tried to make us comfortable throughout our one night stay.
Next time I might choose for an AC room. It’s downstairs, has its own private entrance and looks cuter from the outside. It’s humid but after a shower we mange to sleep till 8

Terrible place, ugly, dirty, smelly
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The room was really expensive if i compare from the other place in Negombo. Next to fish market so you can emagine for the smell. Room really ugly old school, the bedshit was dirty and smelly. When enter room i now i cant stay there. Just thinking than few hours later runaway.
I never seen same rooms in Sri Lanka, and off course no hot water and no wifi and everything its far from there. On Lewis lane many place you find when is near to everything for same price and for sure you feel much more better there.
