The place is in good location. The room wasn't super clean, staff is nice but not very attentive, could benefit from more training. Overall the place seems run down and not taken care off. Big cockroach also visited my bedroom. The balcony doors are very hard to open and close. Overall I think place needs to be managed better.

A good night.
One night stay after arriving in Sri Lanka. Arrived late but they were expecting us. Main issue was that the a/c didn’t work and it took us 3 requests to get management to fix it, which they did. Big room with a nice bathroom. A bar fridge which didn’t work. You walk along an outdoor walkway to get to your room. On the top floor of 3 where we were you had ocean glimpses. Good pool and breakfast. Close to Beach and in a quiet side street. Lovely people working there.

Reasonable and conveniently
Rooms are spacious and clean if a little dated. I understand hotel has new owners is working hard on improvements but a shame that most rooms don’t have a balcony or view. Pool is nice but design and space means much of it is in the shade. Hotel staff endlessly helpful and responsive. Breakfast is very good but all waiter-served; a buffet is surely the answer. Hotel is in very convenient location for restaurants etc. but the beach is very windy and no developed areas with windbreaks and sun beds as yet.

Perfect for Negombo transit stay
Neat and clean. Good location just off the main road. Very friendly staff with great service. Nice spacious room with aircon, fridge, fan and complimentary water. Very nice breakfast menu and pool area. A nice start to our Sri Lanka trip just a short distance from the airport. Highly recommended.

Experience of a family
I would say the client service and attitude was great. The manager Chandana should have a special mention. He is terrific and was all the time looking to make the stay better. His influence has worked well and his team also positively work towards going the extra mile to keep the client contained. Having said that technical maintenance of the hotel facilities is not good. When we checked in we were given a suite in top of the floors and the building doesn't have lift. Refusing to take it we were given another room which didn't have suite facilities. All this happened when Chandana was not in site. When he arrived he immediately provided us with a room located closer to the reception. Unfortunately we found that the air-con was faulty and during the final day we moved to another room which was perfect. It was inconvenient but at the end we found a good room. The food is basic with very few options. It was not a big issue as there are plenty of restaurants in close proximity.

Lovely hotel with very friendly and welcoming staff. Close to the main road through Negombo Beach with shops, bars, restaurants and the beach all a short walk away. WiFi and breakfast not as good but the rooms were well presented, spacious and clean. Staff were helpful and a paid airport pick up is available. The train station was a cheap (250 rupees) Tuk Tuk ride away. The hotel was quaint and charming. It has a pool and bar as well.

Lovely Boutique hotel in Nagumbo Beach.
The current owner of this hotel has recently totally renovated this hotel and only a few finishing touches are now needed..My room was Large and spacious with excellent air conditioning and a comfortable bed. The Bathroom was excellent with a waterfall shower and constant water pressure.The internet was strong,stable and Free.There is a perfectly adequate swimming pool with sun lounges and parasols.Breakfast was made to order and plentiful. Multi channel television in my room with international channels. Staff were excellent from check-in to departure.They even arranged a taxi back to the airport. Security Guard on the Hotel entrance to add that extra peace of mind. 5 minute walk from a Lovely beach and numerous restaurants/Shops. The only thing that took the edge off my stay was the Hotels location. It's located 100 m down a side road off the main road and my Airport taxi had a great deal of difficulty finding it. He had to ask Three Locals before we finally found It.I would have no hesitation in staying in this hotel again next time I'm in Sri-lanka

Pleasant Hotel
The hotel is well situated in Negombo and easy to find. The room was clean and spacious, however, the bathroom needed some attention to the walls which were pealing and damp damaged and there was a water leak which left the floor wet all of the time. The staff are pleasant but the meal service is very slow and eratic, eg : by the time the cooked breakfast is served the toast is cold and the tea and coffee are not served until the end of the meal ! Waiting for change upon paying for the meal can take another 40 minutes at times. However the manager is very helpful and knowledgeale. Having said all f tat, our stay was very pleasant and we were happy.

Good hotel close to local amenities
We had a suite that was very spacious - even had a separate dressing room. The reception area looks a bit dated and shabby but the staff were pleasant and helpful and though we were early for booking in they let us into the room after a few minutes wait. Nice quiet hotel just 20 metres from the main road and the bars and restaurants and close to the beach. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice and good service. Good pool with loungers and umbrellas. Would definitely stay here again. It's good value for money.
