Chaotická organizace. Pokoj jsme měli bez balkonu takže nic moc ale postele byli čisté.
Pros:

Postel byla čistá

Cons:

Nice place to stay
Pros:

Very nice hotel. The breakfast was good. WiFi and AC worked really well. We recomment this hotel. They offer water from a big tank. The boss was very nice and helpful.

Cons:

They didn't clean all the rooms everyday. Staff was friendly but a bit slow on some things. For example my door didn't get locked and they fixed it a bit slowly.

A wonderful place to stay!
Pros:

Overall a really lovely hotel with friendly and attentive staff. The location is perfect in the sense that on one end of the hotel you have the beach and on the other you have the town centre full of shops and restaurants. Our room had a cozy atmosphere. We had a few little flies and mosquitoes flying around in our room but not a problem as we'd brought bug repellent with us and we understand they're difficult to keep away from hotel rooms. The breakfast was amazing with lots of variety to choose from. It has a good pool area which we made the most of too!

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.
