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.

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.

お部屋とベランダが広めです

価格の割に広めのお部屋とベランダです。ベランダからは海がちらっと見えます。 トイレも広めでゆったりしています。蚊よけの蚊帳も装備されています。蚊は居ないように思いました。 金庫っぽいものがありましたが使用しませんでした。クローゼットも大きいです。*鍵は壊れてましたが。 窓が多いので、朝は明るく気持ちよかったです。 階段しかないので、荷物の移動は少し大変かもしれません。 隣のカフェの昼食が美味しかったです。
