Lovely peaceful hotel right on the Negombo lagoon. This was the last hotel we stayed in during our 14 days in Sri Lanka and it was nice just to chill by the pool.

Cons:

There wasn't anything we didn't like

Pros:

Great Budget-Friendly Stay Near the Airport

We had a very pleasant stay at Niko Lagoon Hotel in Negombo. It is a great budget-friendly hotel, especially for travellers looking for a comfortable and peaceful place near the airport.

The English breakfast was ok, and the Niko is always available, friendly, and ready to help with anything we needed. The hotel is located in a quiet and relaxing area, and the swimming pool near the lagoon was a wonderful feature.

Overall, Niko Lagoon Hotel offers great value for money, good service, a peaceful atmosphere, and a convenient location near the airport. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Negombo!

Nice and quiet place to stay away from the bustle of the city, but with some actions needed
Pros:

Nico Lagoon is situated in a nice quiet area next to the lake. The rooms are clean and spacious and the small pool is lovely and clean - great for soaking away some of the heat. On arrival we were presented with a nice cool fruit juice, and the breakfast was filling and tasty (go for the Sri Lankan breakfast, not the Western one....). Nico himself is friendly and happy to explain the trials and tribulations of his hotel, and the whole hotel is peaceful. There is a bar located in the new restaurant that is being built (although we didn't actually use it so can't tell you what it is like - but it did seem popular with some of the locals). It is also within walking distance (just) of a few eateries such as Dutch Trails etc. Nico is also more than happy to arrange airport transfers. It is underneath the flight path - but it is not disruptive during the day and not noticeable at night.

Cons:

Unfortunately when you turn up it feels like it is a bit of a building site - but, to be fair, we were out of season and works must be done sometime. However the rear of the hotel and around the new restaurant could maybe be a bit tidier. As we were out of season it is possible that some of the facilities were unavailable - I suspect that the water sport hire wasn't applicable, and the restaurant seemed for breakfast only. Having your own transport is a blessing here too (although presumably they can arrange a tuk-tuk etc if needed). Overall it feels like the hotel just needs that last push on the investment and building front, but this shouldn't put you off.

Shabby looking hotel but met my needs for short stop during the day
Pros:

Important note. I did not stay overnight at this hotel but spent several hours there before my flight. I've rated it based on my expectations considering the price I paid. The pool was lovely and overlooks the lagoon. I also had a very pleasant lunch. Good WiFi and Aircon.

Cons:

Only one towel was provided. No hand towel, no pool towel and no evidence of a hair drier. I actually would not have stayed the night having seen the state of the pillows on the bed.

Die Unterkunft liegt ziemlich abseits. Zu der nächsten Restaurants muss man mit dem TukTuk nach Negombo fahren.
