Pros:

Schönes Hotel mit toller Lage direkt am Strand von Negombo. Saubere Zimmer und gutes Frühstück. Lediglich der Service war langsam, wenn auch höflich und bemüht. Oben auf dem Hotel ist eine Rooftop Bar mit schönem Ausblick, besonders bei Sonnenuntergang.

Aufenthalt für ein paar Stunden, maximal eine Nacht aushaltbar.
Pros:

Nähe zu Flughafen, Rooftop-Terrasse, sehr nettes Personal

Cons:

Zimmer mit Meerblick: Tag und Nacht lief ein extrem lauter Generator vom Nachbarhotel.
Alle anderen Zimmer hatten grausame Ausblicke auf Seitenstraße oder auf hässlichen Bau des Nachbarhotels.
Nachts liefen Kakalaken im Treppenhaus herzm.

Three night stay in January 2026
Pros:

I stayed here at the start and end of an organised tour of Sri Lanka and both times were great. It was inexpensive, the rooms ideal for a bed and washroom, the staff were super friendly and helpful and the location is great with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The pool area is great to chill out, the food and drink options are a decent quality. Id recommend for a few nights of staying in Negomba.

Cons:

Good value for money and location
Pros:

Cozy and reasonably sized hotel on the beach. Good location considering the services in Negombo. Short drive to the airport. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was good and the views, service and staff from the rooftop bar were great.

Great budget hotel, value for money

Cons:

Pool- so cloudy could not see bottom and would not let our kids swim in it, very disappointing

Pros:

The location is right next to the beach. The eating area is also quite nice with a pool nearby.

Cons:

The room wasn't modern. It had mosquitos and bedsheets were thin. Facilities were what you'd expect from a 3 star hotel on a budget.

Gutes Hotel in der Nähe des Flughafens
Pros:

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vor allem möchten wir uns ausdrücklich bei Vimukthi bedanken für sein Engagement für uns.

Cons:

Es war teilweise recht laut. Das Hotel ist recht hellhörig durch das offene Treppenhaus.
