Ilmastoitu hotellihuone kävelymatkan päässä Negombon rannalta
Pros:

Siisti hotelli ja erittäin ystävällinen palvelu. Yövyimme muutaman yön heti pitkän matkustuksen jälkeen, mihin hotelli oli täydellinen. Omistaja järjesti meille myös taksin päiväksi, mikä toimi loistavasti.

Cons:

Pienet yksityiskohdat eivät olleet viimeisen päälle muitta eivät haitanneet, koska hotellissa oli siistiä

Pros:

Our stay at Summer Side Residence was absolutely wonderful and the perfect choice for our family holiday in Negombo. We highly recommend it!

🍽️ Culinary Delight and Comfort
The breakfast was superb—fresh, varied, and truly delicious every morning! It was the perfect start to our days. Our room/apartment was incredibly comfortable, spacious, and spotless, offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere that felt like a true escape.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Exceptional Staff and Service (Special Mention!)
What truly sets this place apart is the level of service. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and genuinely attentive. A special thank you to Ruwan, who looked after our family exceptionally well with great kindness and professionalism. He made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived.

🏊 Facilities and Location
The swimming pool was a highlight for the family—always clean and a great spot for relaxation. The location is ideal: perfectly situated to offer quiet relaxation, yet still very close to the beach, shops, and restaurants in Negombo.

✨ Overall
We had an unforgettable experience. The blend of excellent facilities, immaculate cleanliness, and the staff's professionalism made this stay superb value for money. We will definitely be back!

Cons:

All perfect.

Pros:

De mensen van het hotel waren erg vriendelijk, helaas voelde onze kamer niet erg schoon. Er zaten allemaal vlekken op de lakens en handdoeken. Nadat wij hadden gecheckt of er ook schone lakens waren zeiden ze dat deze schoon waren en dat die vlekken er niet uit gaan. Voelde toch niet zo prettig.
Het bed lag wel erg lekker!

Cons:

Lakens waren niet schoon

Waardeloos
Pros:

Niks

Cons:

Na een lange vlucht kwamen wij rond 12 uur ’s nachts aan bij het hotel. Bij aankomst lag de eigenaar zelf te slapen op de bank voor de receptie, wat meteen een zeer onprofessionele indruk gaf. Alles was donker en we wisten niet wat we konden doen.

De kamer die we kregen was ronduit verschrikkelijk. Er hing een gigantische, indringende zweetlucht die zó sterk was dat we er amper konden slapen. Daarnaast zaten er hele vieze, onhygiënische vlekken op het bed, wat echt onacceptabel is. Ook hingen er overal losse draden in de kamer, wat er onverzorgd en zelfs onveilig uitzag. De badkamer zat vol schimmel en was allesbehalve schoon.

Op de website staat vermeld dat er wifi is, maar in werkelijkheid is er helemaal geen wifi aanwezig. Dit is misleidende informatie.

Kortom: een waardeloos hotel dat zijn geld totaal niet waard is. Wij raden dit verblijf absoluut niemand aan.

Pobyt w 'Fajnym Miejscu' był rewelacyjny! Przepiękne okolice, cisza i spokój. Gospodarze przesympatyczni i bardzo pomocni. Pokój czysty, wygodny, a śniadania pyszne. Wszystko zgodne z opisem. Polecam z całego serca, wrócimy na pewno!".

The accommodation is clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend this property.
Pros:

The property was clean.

Cons:

We would appreciate if the hot water system is checked. The water wasn’t turning hot and the water force was too slow.
