The airport shuttle service was convenient. Breakfasts each morning varied. Aunty is an excellent cook. Everything fresh and always had a taste n of Sri Lanka. I did have a problem with mould coming from the air conditioner but it was addressed and the filter cleaned immediately. The last night we had no power from about 8.30pm and still was out at 8.30am when we departed the Hotel. Some rooms still had power. So our last night was uncomfortably hot unfortunately.

An oasis off the main beach road that allowed me time to adjust after a late night arrival. Had full breakfast (additional charge) to start the day - well presented and ample. AC, hot water, tv and access to nearby restaurants and of course the beach.

I arrived at the hotel at around 5 am and the owner kindly let me check in at that time (I had paid for the previous night) so didn't have to hang out at the airport forever after an extremely long trip to Sri Lanka which I had read was an issue at other hotels. Breakfast was fantastic. Rooms were very basic but clean. There was tea and coffee in the room but no heating kettle, so you couldn't actually make coffee even though instant coffee was sitting there was there which was a bummer. Lovely property. It's just off the main road (about 1/2 block) down an alley, so was hard to find in the dark until we called and the owner turned on a large lit-up sign. Location is easy walking access to dozens of restaurants, souvenir shops, and other stores so was a good location to be at. Easy walk to the beach and very easy to catch a Tuk tuk on the main road to go into the heart of town or the airport. It's maybe a 15-min drive to the airport. Would def. stay here again and would recommend to others.

What a great place! Nicely furnished, clean & comfortable. The owner is FANTASTIC & she makes a yummy breakfast every morning. Everything that you need is nearby, restaurants, bars, live music, shopping. The beach is directly across the street. You can also use the facilities of the resort across the street for 2,000 rupees per day. This includes beach chairs, towel, pool, wi-fi, restaurant & bar. I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Sri Lanka.

Environment is nice and location is great. Room is clean, comfy except lots of mossies. Was in twin room and was bitten by bed bugs or dust mites until i had to switch bed. Would be helpful too if shampoo, conditioner, adult size bath towels were provided.

A really nice hotel about fifty yards from Negombo beach. It is in a little alley off the main road and is well situated and clean. The staff were lovely also. A tuk tuk will take you to the main sites in a few mins for about 500 rupees. The locals are really lovely - almost everyone will stop to speak to you or to say good morning. A really nice start to a month in Sri Lanka!

Stayed for 2 nights after arriving from the airport, and before our trip in Sri Lanka. Rooms are very clean and spacious, very quiet AC or ceiling fan if you prefer. Lovely well kept property with an easy access to the sea where you are able to swim but unfortunately very little shade on the beach. Would recommend 100%

I can only recommend this place. The owner is absolutely lovely, she communicate all the time. she tried to help us as much as possible. THe room was nice, clean and no smell. That was one of the best things. Even when we stayed in other places including 4* hotels, the smell was terrible. So for sure I would return to this place anytime. Highly recommend it.

Comfortable bed in large room, air conditioning and fan, and large, clean bathroom. Breakfast (included) was delicious, one morning was Sri Lankan pancakes (like crepes with coconut and brown sugar), fresh fruit, fresh juice and your option of egg. The second morning was dosa with curry, fresh fruits and juices. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. Location is great, many shoos and restaurants nearby, beach access is across the street.

Cannot recommend this hotel enough. It’s a small family run hotel run by two Italian brothers. The entire hotel is spotless. Their attention to detail is fantastic. The rooms are large and modern. The room was cleaned to five star standard every day. It’s very close to the beach and lots of good restaurants and shops. The breakfast is simple but delicious. The grounds are well kept and welcoming. The staff cannot do enough for you. It’s close to the airport (approx 20 minutes) and is the perfect start or end to a touring holiday of Sri Lanka.

Perfekt för några dagar. Kort avstånd till havet och nära till restauranger. Hjälpsam med transfer till flygplatsen.
