Nice location, best rooftop🧡
Pros:

The Hotel has everything that We needed, hot and strong shower, aircondition, Beach, pool, roof top Restaurant, shops and restaurants on the same Street. It is a 3 Star Hotel, dont expect luxurious rooms but they have everything. It was a perfect stay for our last days in Sri Lanka.

Goed
Pros:

Zwembad met mooi zicht op de zee.
Rooftopbar waar je ook iets kan eten is zeer lekker en erg gezellig.
De kamers waren erg proper.

Cons:

Het ontbijt kon beter al was het lekker. Het werd aan tafel gebracht, maar duurde vrij lang voordat je het kreeg. En de koffie werd pas helemaal op het einde gebracht.

Prima hotel om bij te komen van een vliegreis.
Pros:

Prima overnachtingshotel redelijk dicht bij het vliegveld. Tevens een zwembad en ligstoelen in de tuin. Vlak bij het strand gelegen. Personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Cons:

Het strand is wat rommelig, verder was er het nodige lawaai van een bruiloftsfeest in een nabijgelegen hotel. De kamer was redelijk basic, we hadden één kamer zonder ramen (geen daglicht).

Clean, friendly, good food
Pros:

Friendly people on the hotel. Always ready to help. During our trip we stayed the first and the last 2 days at the hotel. We forgot our adapter after the the first 2 days. We asked them to keep it until we come back and they did it. Also on the last day, our flight was delayed and we had to spend more hours at the hotel and again they helped us to make it as comfortable as possible. The swimmeng pool is very clean. The food is good and the chambers are ok.

Thumbs up for Hotel J Negombo
Pros:

Nice Hotel with a good location in the main stretch of Negombo
Rooms were of the right size and the sea view rooms had a great view from a large balcony.
Good Food too at the hotel and warm service from all the staff.
Special Mention to Roger from the restaurant for his impeccable service and Leoni from the Front Desk.

Pros:

Außenanlagen und Pool waren toll und laden zum verweilen ein. Hotelpersonal super freundlich.

Cons:

Die Bilder sind leider sehr veraltet. Stattdessen war das Zimmer sehr schimmelig. Aus dem Abfluss hat es extrem gestunken und gebrodelt. Wir hatten ein Basiczimmer ohne Balkon oder richtiges Fenster vielleicht ist es in anderen Zimmern angenehmer. Das Basiczimmer jedoch ist nicht zu empfehlen.
