Still Waters Artistry

Accommodation - The accommodation is EXCELLENT, a real standout! Architecturally amazing. The interiors are equally as amazing. Very thoughtful and eclectic. We stayed in a room on the 2nd floor with a skylit shower, it was beautiful. The bed, air-conditioning and shower were very comfortable too. Loads of books for readers, aside from that not much on property to do other than relax. its a great place for a slow start or ending point of your holiday.

Host & Attractions - Negombo isn't crazy big on things to do, as its often a transitionary point for most tourists, however Ashane recommended us to some lovely places to visit and eat and drink (Fish market: messy, chaotic and alive and beautiful old church St Mary's). Ashane and his wife as hosts were wonderful, and if you care to sit down a little while, lovely conversationalists as well. They took their time to curate every single detail, and when you check out, you get to do a wonderful little art activity with them.

Food - We did not get the breakfast from the accommodation, Tea and Coffee are served complimentary. You can order food from the nearby restaurant through Ashane. We ordered a feast of Basmati rice, Paneer butter masala, Vegetable Kottu, Hot Butter Cuttlefish (best I had in the country for 14 days) and Black Mutton curry, all for a total of approx $30 USD for 2 people (10,000 LKR), we wouldn't say its cheap, but you really get high quality food if thats what you're looking for. Outside of the accommodation, we also had a lovely sit down fine dining experience at CLUB Ceylon which makes visiting Negombo worth it, as its actually the best seafood (European-style) restaurant in the whole of Sri Lanka.

Great hotel .tastefully decorated.increadble host I've ever met.
Best 👌 dishes ever .
Higly recommend hotel.

La maison est décorée avec beaucoup de goût. Notre hôte, Ashane a été très réactif sur whatsapp, il nous a donné des petits tips et nous a surtout bien aidé à notre arrivée tardive (carte SIM, changement d’argent, réservation de bus, etc.)
Le petit déjeuner était très bon aussi !

Es un pequeño hotel decorado con un gusto excelente e impecable. Quizás le falta algo de jardín, para mi gusto, pero en ningún momento dice que lo tenga, así que no te engaña. El trato del dueño es excepcional. En general, muy recomendable.

It is beautiful, clean and close Tuk Tuk to the centre or can walk to the lagoon.

Nous sommes restées qu'une nuit mais pour la beauté du lieu et la gentillesse de Ashane nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps. Ashane nous a beaucoup aidé, par exemple à trouver certains produits que nous recherchions. Le petit déjeuner était le meilleur que nous ayons pris au Sri Lanka. Nous retiendrons avant tout la bienveillance, le bon coeur et le gout de Ashane pour la décoration.

Ashane ist unglaublich bemüht und ein großartiger Gastgeber! Wir waren überwältigt von der Gastfreundlichkeit und der kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten seinerseits! Die Unterkunft ist genau so wie auf den Fotos ersichtlich und sehr sauber und gepflegt! Wir würden es jedem sehr empfehlen!

We stayed at Still Waters Artistry for our first night after flying in from Australia and it was truly 11/10. Everything about this accomodation is just perfect. Beautifully designed, perfectly clean and peaceful.
Ashane and his partner are so kind and couldn’t do more for you. Don’t skip the breakfast! Absolutely delish.
We couldn’t recommend this experience more. 🫶🤎

La gentillesse du personnel et l’emplacement

Besser hätten wir unseren Sri Lanka Urlaub nicht starten können. Ashane und sein Team sind unglaublich hilfsbereit, sie helfen wo sie nur können. Wunderschönes sehr individuell gestaltetes Haus, ausgezeichnetes Frühstück.

A truly unique hotel with a soul. This is the first time I've encountered such service, and it was the best welcome I've ever received in all my travels. Everything was so thoughtfully thought out, every detail, so much attention and care. The owner himself is truly unique; it's clear he loves his hotel and brings many new ideas to it. He's genuinely welcoming and ready to help with any questions. Compared to other hotels, he responds to requests immediately. We were greeted with cool mango juice and a refreshing face mask. The room is spacious, with a unique interior, a separate kitchen where you can make tea and coffee, a water cooler, and a refrigerator. This is the first hotel in Sri Lanka where we didn't have to wait for food; everything was served as quickly as possible. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. The breakfast was so beautifully presented that we even took a photo of it. The owner also gave us some nice souvenirs as a keepsake. We were very pleased and surprised by this reception; it was top-notch!

The service at Still Waters Artistry was outstanding. Beautiful accommodation built in tropical modernist style. Sri Lankan breakfast amazing.

Il proprietario è estremamente disponibile, accogliente e ti fa sentire a casa. Ciò che differenzia questa struttura dalle altre è proprio l'aspetto umano e i piccoli dettagli che ti fanno sentire un ospite unico.
