No frills guesthouse
The position of the hotel is fabulous - just off the beaten track and quiet, but close enough to the main drag. We arrived very early morning to find out that we could have a room at the additional cost of $5 as the room we'd previously booked was not available until 11:00am. Both very tired, we opted to pay the extra $5. The room was clean, but very outdated - as it the whole guesthouse, but the staff are nice enough and the breakfasts are delicious. Large portion size too!

Scammers!
Booked and paid for the AC family apartment via MrJet/Expedia. On arrival the receptionist denied having any booking. After som argumentation, it was changed to "your booking was yesterday". Finally after about half an hour, they found their printout confirming our reservation, but then said that the AC apartment was already occupied by someone else. We got to speak to the owner over the phone who shouted that we had to accept a double room (2 adults & three kids) or take our money and go somewhere else. Oviously our advice would bee to stay away from this establishment!
Very friendly and helpful manager and staff. Nice breakfast. Walking distance to resturants and beach (we only vent for a walk). 20 minuts from the airport.
Excellent choix de guesthouse à Negombo. Situé à 200 m de la plage et à coté de nombreux restaurants, cet hôtel familial est très pratique pour arriver ou partir du Sri Lanka. Les chambres sont spacieuses et très propres. Le sourire est toujours présent et le personnel est extrêmement serviable. J'ai passé trois nuits à cet hôtel en attendant l'arrivée de ma fille. Le propriétaire à été des plus aimables, il m'a invité au restaurant afin de goûter un rice and curry 'local' et a accepté de garder une de nos valises jusqu'à la fin de notre voyage. Il n'a pas voulu nous charger pour la valise ni accepté que je paye au restaurant. A mon arrivée à l’aéroport à 2 h du matin, il m'attendait avec une pancarte avec mon nom ce qui permet de bien démarrer un voyage.

Je ne recommande pas
1ère nuit ok, sauf que le propriétaire "partait" alors qu'il avait pris les réservations en compte..et qu'il fallait quitter les lieux,dès le matin, il a trouvé par connaissance un autre hôtel ou le petit dej était à 5$ alors que la réservation pour 2 nuits était comprise avec déjeuner, il a négocié si on peut dire pour cette prestation..il n'est pas rare que les hôteliers fassent du sur booking pour déplacer les touristes ailleurs, et leur faire payer la totalité du séjour en espèce avec les taxes et ne pas reverser cette taxe à l'organisme car ils prennent soin d'annuler la réservation à la fin du séjour, et on s'en rend compte par l'envoi d'un mail de l'organisme qui vous demande pourquoi vous n'étiez pas à l'hôtel..je ne suis pas satisfaite du séjour..dans ce pays la en l'occurrence
Grote familyroom(110m2) geboekt. Bij aankomst van helft van familie bleek doe niet beschikbaar. Uiteindelijk 2 losse kamers als oplossing, maar was niet wat we wilden. Eigenaar had emoties ook niet geheel in de hand, zeer onprettig!
Great staff really friendly....smiles aplenty..fab
If you are looking for five star luxury look elsewhere, but if you want good, basic, budget accommodation look no further. We had a great stay. We slept in late on our first day and missed the breakfast by two hours but they insisted on making us it even though it was after 12, they were fabulous. Bed really comfortable aswell
Very pleasant stay as we acclimatised to the heat. Off the main road so quiet. Close to lots of recommended restaurants that we sampled and enjoyed. Host welcoming and informative.
jeg havde er hyggeligt ophold og blev godt behandlet af personaler værelset vad i orden og der var alt hvad der skulle være der var både A/C og loftventilator. myggenet. køleskab og tv der manglede ikke noget god kvalitet for få penge
Nous avons été déçu par cette guesthouse , la chambre que l'on nous a attribué à notre arrivée était collée au garage ! Dès la première nuit nous avons changé de chambre car elle était pleine d'insectes (cafards dans la salle de bain et autres dans la chambre)
Le petit déjeuner était bon et le personnel sympathique ,
Je ne recommande pas ce lieu car ils ont des efforts à faire côté hygiène ,
Relatively close to the international Colombo airport. The hotel will drive you there in their van for 1,500 - muck better than the 1,000 tuk tuk ride.
The key to the room did not work well, and the ac was either under-powered, or the room was way too hot at the start. The room had an apartment size refrigerator - not turned on.
Приехали в Негомбо после путешествия по югу Шри Ланки. Добирались на электричке из Коломбо. От станции шли 7-8 минут. Нам очень понравился отель. Чисто, уютно. Очень доброжелательный персонал.Очень вкусный завтрак. До пляжа несколько минут пешком.Ходили купаться рано утром. Океан более спокойный.
