Relaxed place to stay, close to beach, restaurants
Friendly, clean, helpful, excellent breakfast. My room had its own balcony, a bit near the road, but I slept well. Very good value.

This is a very nice guest house
This is a great location, right across from beach path and in the hub of shops and restaurants in Negombo. The manager was exceptional, going out of his way to find me a full service salon and everyone was welcoming and helpful

Great position for the beach and restaurants.
For what we paid, we were delighted with the room, large bed with mosquito net, good sized bathroom and shower, lovely balcony with comfy chairs and a table. That made for a super place to have a sun downer before going out to eat. The beach being literally just over the road meant you could leave valuables in the room and go and swim and return for a shower.

Exactly as described
Super quick check-in, big room (I stayed in #3, non a/c), comfy bed, nice bathroom and mosquito net (you need it!). There was a light damp smell in the air and we didn't have a TV like other people but we didn't need it. Cute sitting area in front of the room, quiet but central location, close to everything you need and to the airport. Wifi was strong in the public area but not in the room but this is mentioned in the hotel description and we didn't really need it anyway.
Great value and I would stay there again

Det gick inte att stänga balkongdörren från balkongen, vilket föranledde mygg i rummet helt i onödan. Annars var det bra på alla sätt. Nära till stranden. Men anonnsen ljuger i sina AI bilder. De har inga rum med kylskåp osv.

Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und super freundliches Personal, die einem jeden Wunsch erfüllen. Man kann vor Ort auch Touren buchen (mehrtägig oder Tagestrips). Ich kann jedem, der sich in Negombo aufhält, empfehlen hier unterzukommen.

Siisti ja hyvä guest house
Yövyin 2 yötä deluxe huoneessa. Kylpyhuone oli moderni ja lämmintä vettä riitti.
Ilmastointi toimi hyvin, mutta pääasiassa tuuletin riitti minulle.
Lähellä rantaa, vieressä paljon pieniä ravintoloita.
Varasin hotellin kautta myös lentokenttänoudon 16e.
Hyvä muutaman yön reissuun Sri Lankalle tulon/lähdön yhteydessä.

très propre mais vieillot
certes ce n'est pas très cher mais on en a tout juste pour son argent.
Le personnel est très cordial comme partout au Sri Lanka et l'ensemble est propre mais ce n'est pas de première jeunesse.
Eviter le samedi soir ou veilles de fêtes car depuis les chambres on entend vraiment tous les bruits et les gens font la fête.
Notre chambre était propre et on voit bien que l'hôtel est entretenu (peintures récentes), pour les draps, c'est autre chose : ils sont un peu gris parce que vieux et beaucoup lavés avec quelques tâches qui ne partent pas (ou alors ils étaient vraiment mal lavés)
Je pense qu'on peut trouver mieux pour le même prix puisqu'il ne donne pas sur la plage.

Für Zwischenstopp gut geeignet
Wir haben das Guesthouse für zwei Nächte gebucht, da wir mitten in der Nacht erst gelandet waren. Der abholservice funktionierte einwandfrei! Das Frühstück war ok, die Zimmer auch. Allerdings würden wir künftig die Klimaanlage nutzen, der Ventilator war nicht ausreichend.
J'ai été agréablement surprise de la qualité par rapport au prix. l'établissement est propre, les chambre et salle de bain son nickel. Nous avions un petit balcon donnant sur lewis place, très agréable le soir de s'y asseoir pour regarder le train train quotidien des gens.
