Nice hotel Great location
We stayed here few times. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is located within walking distance to restaurants and beach. Wifi had problems on some days. The staff tried to do their best to sort this. Overall nice place.

It was not bad just asked for early check in due to early morning flight but they don't allowed. cleanliness is good. One big complain that no exhaust fan in the bathrooms and they are really warm during day time. Met the owner personally and he was a nice gentleman.

Ok for one night
This was a one night stay on arrival in Sri Lanka so as to get some rest before moving on. Staff were friendly but seemed slightly disorganized, for example I was asked to sign confirming I would pay, despite having paid in full through Hotels.com (which reception confirmed) staff could not explain the need for this and I refused to sign. Also only one breakfast arrived at our room next morning (an oversight I'm sure but I ended up going without breakfast as we didn't have time to wait for another to be prepared) The room was fine, clean and comfortable but we were only given tiny towels and the shower ran cold. An ok stay for one night, reasonable price for peak season.

Convenient and clean hotel.
it is a nice and clean stay by the negombo beach. We celebrated new years eve there with a perfectly good crowd on the beach with a bonfire and tonnes of fireworks. The breakfast could be served a bit better as things get cold even before they reach you.

Not clean and make sure you ask for hot water supp
We arrived late in the evening. The check in was fast but found out the room was dated and the couch was dirty. Only two towels were provided and they were very old. They also switched off the hot water supply and we had to clean ourselves with a cold shower after a long flight. The only good thing about the hotel is good breakfast with very nice fruit plate.
Response from General Manager on 7 Dec 2016
dear mme, sir, We are very thankful to you for your comment. Extremly sorry for the that uncomfortable stay at our hotel. We strictly advised our staff to pay more attention to our customer needs.` Just we want to informe you that we had never switch off the hot water. Sometimes it depend on the weather and the time, we have to keep the shower on longer than the day time. Thank you, Blue water boutique hotel

Lovely hotel
We have stayed as a couple for our first 3 days in Sri Lanka. Hotel is lovely, spacious room, nice and clean. Breakfast was nice, served on rooftop, which was very nice. Staff very friendly and kind. Hotel is situated just few minutes from the beach, also we had an access to the swimming pool of the hotel Paradise. Hotel is on the busy street, so there are plenty of restaurants offering fresh sea food. Also Negombo centre is just about 5 mins by tuk tuk. Highly recommended for short stay in Negombo.

Great value and very clean
Great hotel! I booked one night here at the end of my trip as I had an early flight out. The hotel is very clean and nicely decorated - they have paintings on the walls that you can purchase. Great service too - they helped me book a car and offered to pack me a to-go breakfast. Location is excellent too - close to the airport and there are many restaurants you can walk to nearby

I just stayed one night here for the airport. Room is clean and people are kind but the breakfast was really limited and nothing is around the hotel. If you look for the hotel around the airport, still it's not a bad option.

Nærhet til stranda
Bra hotell med ok standard, eneste uteplass er takterrassen som kan bli vel varm for frokost eller for mørkt om kvelden. Pluss for gratis adgang til nabohotellets bassengområde og veldig kort vei ned til stranda. Vi avtalte henting på flyplassen ved adkomst, men det skjedde ikke. Det trekker ned.

Nettes Hotel mit guter Lage
Das Hotel ist optimal um die letzten oder ersten Tage in Sri Lanka zu verbringen. Es liegt fast direkt am Strand (der leider sehr schmutzig und ungeeignet zum Baden ist -> macht aber nichts, da man den Pool des Nebenhotels inkl. Poolhandtüchern benutzen darf). Es ist sehr sauber, gemütlich, hat eine schöne Dachterrasse auf der man frühstücken kann (leider viele Krähen, die versuchen das Essen zu klauen -> die Mitarbeiter helfen aber um diese zu verscheuchen). Das Personal ist extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit!

Sejour au blue water inn
Nous avons été très bien reçu. Comme nous avions réservé pour 9 nuits et sommes arrivé très tôt, notre chambre était disponible qu'a partir de 13 heures. le Directeur qui parle très bien le Français ainsi que son épouse nous ont proposé un autre hôtel a l'autre bout de la ville plus au calme. Il nous a également proposé de bénéficier de la piscine de l'hôtel d'a côté gratuitement. Sinon l'hôtel est proche de tous les commerces et restaurants. Le petit déjeuner est très bon et suffisant. le personnel est très gentil Je vous le recommande
