Great place to stay in Negombo!
Pros:

I stayed here for 11 days and plan to return again next year. The staff at this hotel are so friendly and helpful. I had breakfast here many days. It is a simple breakfast. Usually eggs and fruit and toast. The pool area is beautiful and surrounded by greenery. The pool is kept very clean. It is right on the beach and a short walk to many restaurants, stores, pharmacies, and Tuk tuks. I really enjoyed my stay here.

Pros:

Perfect location for getting to the airport quickly and still enjoy some time at the beach. The rooms are nice and clean, the staff is very friendly, they even greeted us with a fresh juice, and the pool was perfect for some rest after our travels around Sri Lanka

Cons:

The food might be better, we felt a bit uneasy the next day.

Pros:

Het personeel is echt super vriendelijke duidelijk wat ouder dan de gemiddelde medewerkers in de branche. 50plus. De prijs kwaliteit is absoluut goed evenals de ligging ten opzichte van het vliegveld en het strand en wat leuke restaurantjes en souveniers winkels. Er mag wel echt weer geïnvesteerd worden in de afwerking van de kamers en faciliteiten.

Cons:

Het personeel.. 👍👍

Nette Bleibe in Negombo
Pros:

Es war eine nette Bleibe für die Nächte vor dem Abflug. Sie liegt direkt am Strand und in der Nähe von einigen Restaurants und Geschäften.
Das Personal ist sehr nett und hat sich um alles gekümmert.
Das Zimmer ist einfach ausgestattet.
Das WLAN war gut und die AC hat funktioniert.

Cons:

Das Bad hat gestunken und generell war es nicht super sauber. Der Pool war etwas trüb.
