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.

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%

A lovely stay!

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!

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.

Nice but could be better for the price

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.

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.

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.

Comfort and location

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.
