Our room was a double, arrived to a twin. Dirty, dated facilities with a sewage smell in the bathroom. View from first floor room overlooks dirty rooftops. Restaurant ok but dirty old plastic wind shields line the edges. Beach full of ants and local pedlars continuously trying to sell, hotel do nothing to prevent this or move them on, unable to leave anything on the beach to go swimming for example because of this. Too few pool loungers for the number of staff and the usual towels on beds by 6am despite no one coming to use them until 10-11am and hotel do nothing to prevent and in fact put towels out for them. Very little in the local area to do. Hotel will try to rip you off for arranging taxis to the airport, wanted $30 for 25 minute trip, tuk tuk at the roadside took us for $4\. Pool staff good and attentive. Would miss Negombo altogether on your itinerary. ##### Lisa ### 8/10 Good #### Malin 29 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastisk Jättefint läge, bra service, fint, rent, bra mat ##### Malin Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aisylu 1 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Courteous staff and high level welcome.

Rooms on ground floor overlooking the pool were ok but i don't think I'd want to satya in the main block of rooms given their location. No lifts. The room, as with most hotel rooms in Sri Lanka, was showing signs of being affected by the humidity and looked a bit worn and had a damp smell about them. Unfortunately there was a drain smell in the bathroom which although not really bad was a bit off putting. The buffet breakfast was good and we ate three times in the hotel dining room over our 5 night stay, the food was very very varied and good. There is direct access to the beach from the hotels and although there were lots of beach hawkers they did not encroach onto the hotel property. Unfortunately when we visited in Nov 2018 there was a lot of building work going on as they are extending the hotel and this was right next to our block. We were not told about this before we arrived. One day the building work went on for a full 24hr period, right through the night. When we complained the next day they said they had to work through the night as there was a load of concrete coming the next day and they had to have everything ready for it!!!! The staff were OK and surprising got more friendly the day before we left! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 8 Dec 2018 Das Hotel liegt an sauberem Strandabschnitt, die Verkäufer sind lästig.

Facilities are functional and clean. Staff are very helpful. It’s not a flashy place but then again it’s well priced. We stayed in one ground level room which was a bit dark and tired, and in a top story room (200 #s) that was brighter and had ocean views which we much preferred. Food was fair to good not great. Nice pool. Beach sellers and debris can be annoying enough to keep one off the beach. Negombo itself is unattractive but does have some shopping and some good food eg. Cilantro. ##### David J Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### MrEee, West mids 25 Nov 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The room was very poor and old after marls on the wall Bathroom was not the best .. the window over looked A loud of old drainage pipes , further to this the pool was next to a building site .. we was not informed about this work ##### MrEee Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 18 Oct 2018 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Food was excellent and cleanliness is poor. I had to chase three roaches one night and they kept coming. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 12 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hotel location good . Breakfast good . Rooms good apart from showers poor as Luke warm to cold water . Contacted reception was told maintenance would come nobody came. I think it was a common thing to have cool water . If an unusual problem this would of been dealt with or alternative room offered but nothing . This spoilt our first experience of Sri Lanka as we had just arrived. So wouldn’t stay again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Trine 19 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Goldi Sands Dette var det første hotellrommet vi hadde på Sri Lanka og det er helt greit, hverken mer eller mindre. Servicen på hotellet mtp innsjekk var kjapp og upåklagelig, i tillegg til at de var behjelpelige med å finne transport for oss videre til Kandy. Rommet var rent, men aircondition var enten for varm eller for kald. Og badet hadde en svak eim av kloakk, men det har vi i ettertid skjønt at er litt vanlig her. Frokosten var helt ok, litt kjedelig buffé, men med egen omelettkokk. Hotellet har eget basseng og ligger rett på stranden ca 15 min å kjøre fra flyplassen. Kunne fint bodd her igjen en natt, men tenker det ikke er ett sted du vil være lenge. ##### Trine Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### CARLOS, España 12 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel frente a la playa con una buena piscina Buena estancia de dos días en Negombo para descansar del viaje e iniciar el tour por Sri Lanka. ##### CARLOS Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### daniel 10 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### c'est un plaisir de revenir ici excellent, bon accueil, bonne nourriture ##### daniel Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### kelly, Australia 21 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service great location , direct beach access close to shops and restaurants , rooms over look beach and sunset pool is in need of repair, with broken tiles in and around it , the area is very slippery, we saw 2 people slip on the tiles around the pool in our 3 day stay ! staff need some customer service training ##### kelly Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Carla 30 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel with pool at the beach. Room 101 (non sea view) is terrible, no view at all. We could get an upgrade for USD 10,00 per night and got a standard sea view room which was a good deal. Hotel with pool and at the beach is perfect. Close to restaurants and shops. There is a airport transfer, but in the street you can get a transfer for half the price. Really good breakfast. ##### Carla ### 8/10 Good #### S, London 15 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel Clean, pool and sea were beautifully warm. Food good. Sun beds with pattresses and clean towels available at all times (but it is low season). ##### S Stayed 1 night in Apr 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jesper, Epe 7 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Ligging aan zee geweldig aan te bevelen, mooi hotel en goed prijs/kwaliteit verhouding met gunstige ligging ##### Jesper Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cardamon Hotel Nilaveli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nilaveli-Hotels-Cardamon-Hotel-Nilaveli.h35151335.Hotel-Information) > > [Kahanda Kanda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Angulugaha-Hotels-Kahanda-Kanda.h11263998.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanfront Nilaveli by ICC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nilaveli-Hotels-Ocean-Front-Condos.h35766159.Hotel-Information) > > [maple Leaf Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Negombo-Hotels-Maple-Leaf-Village.h39133516.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Villas Wadduwa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadduwa-Hotels-The-Villas-Wadduwa.h21399796.Hotel-Information) > > [Kethaka Aga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thissamaharama-Hotels-Kethaka-Aga.h22876073.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Heaven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ella-Hotels-Mountain-Heaven.h11741687.Hotel-Information) > > [Tamarind Tree Garden resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-The-Tamarind-Tree-Hotel.h56929895.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandy-Hotels-OZO-Kandy-Sri-Lanka.h10442617.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Ocean View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadduwa-Hotels-Villa-Ocean-View.h2226833.Hotel-Information) > > [W15 Weligama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-W15.h11560777.Hotel-Information) > > [ReeCha Mullai Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilinochchi-Hotels-Reecha-Mullai-Resort.h93473678.Hotel-Information) > > [Roo Mansala Boutique Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sigiriya-Hotels-Roo-Mansala-Boutique-Villas.h23204786.Hotel-Information) > > [Leopard Safaris Yala ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kataragama-Hotels-Leopard-Safaris-By-KK-Collection.h50636592.Hotel-Information) > > [Uppuveli Beach by DSK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trincomalee-Hotels-Uppuveli-Beach-By-DSK.h107128771.Hotel-Information) > > [Kottawatta Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udawalawa-Hotels-Kottawatta-Village.h12283592.Hotel-Information) > > [Ubuntu Beach Villas By Reveal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamburugamuwa-Hotels-Ubuntu-Boutique-Hotel-By-Lantern.h15013869.Hotel-Information) > > [Jie Jie Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panadura-Hotels-Jie-Jie-Beach-By-Jetwing.h15440520.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Resort.h1487820.Hotel-Information) > > [Xavier's Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nuwara-Eliya-Hotels-The-Cottage-By-Jetwing.h12483826.Hotel-Information) > > [Amagi Aria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Negombo-Hotels-Amagi-Aria-Airport-Transit-Hotel-Negombo.h6153159.Hotel-Information) > > [Lantern Boutique Hotel by Reveal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamburugamuwa-Hotels-Lantern-Boutique-Hotel.h11531622.Hotel-Information) > > [Camellia Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hatton-Hotels-Camellia-Hills.h48393070.Hotel-Information) > > [North Gate Jaffna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaffna-Hotels-North-Gate-By-Jetwing.h22276412.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Kalutara Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kalutara-Hotels-Anantara-Kalutara-Resort.h14937324.Hotel-Information) > > [BELMONT BOUTIQUE HOTEL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Negombo-Hotels-BELMONT-BOUTIQUE-HOTEL.h92402541.Hotel-Information) > > [Uga Bay - Pasikuda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Uga-Bay-By-Uga-Escapes.h7760824.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information) ---
