The fridge and the TV in room didn't work, the pool was green, the bar photographed on their web site is closed and has mould growing up all the the walls. We had to sweep many cigarette butts away from the landing outside our front door, most of the pot plants around the property have long been dead, I could go with more on but you get the picture.

Övernattningar i vänta på flyg.

Holellet är mycket slitet och underhållet i dåligt skick men då det bara gällde ett par övernattningar i väntan på flyg så gick det att acceptera. Det man inte kan förstå är att man inte gör mera för att städa upp runt pool och den del av stranden som ligger nära stranden då det bara krävs lite engagemang och det verkade som att man hade personal tillgänglig

Old and worn out

A.c.. doesn't work, room not cleaned, very old place, bar not functioning, pool was green, no lights on beach, does not look clean, room not what asked for. No sea views from rooms, inward facing. Mosquitos in the rooms, only two old style power outlets, not enough for lights, charging and insect repellant. And much more....choose another place as value for money is not here

1e overnachting prima, 2e party met veel lawaai

Een party tot laat zorgde voor veel overlast. De manager kon niet gedaan krijgen dat de muziek zachter werd gezet. We lagen te schudden in ons bed door de beat en meer dan zeggen 'sorry' kwamen ze niet waarna de muziek weer verder ging. Verder een goed middenklasse hotel met ruime nette kamers, goed werkende A.C.. Het buffet hebben we door omstandigheden niet geprobeerd (er tegenover is een prima lokaal eethuisje) maar overige gasten waren tevreden. Het strand zou schoongehouden moeten worden want er lag nu veel afval - dat altijd aangroeit tot meer als je het niet opruimt.

Rantahotelli lähellä lentokenttää. Hotelli vanhahkon oloinen, kulunut mutta henkilökunta yritti parhaansa mukaan huolehtia vieraista. Ranta on valitettavan likainen, rannan virtaukset ja mereen laskevat likaojat eivät houkuta uimaan. Lähikaduilla runsaasti hyviä ruokapaikkoja, joista voi valita mieleisen. Sopiva hotelli lennon odottamiseen eli ns. yhden yön juttu.

Good value for money

Nice hotel directly on the beach. No 5* luxury resort but clean and directly on the beach. Nice little pool overlooking the beach. Nice staff. Rooms are ok - nothing fancy but all you need. All in all ok for the price (around 95USS/room/night). Where as living costs are relatively are very low in Sri Lanka (food and laundry or hair dresser etc. are cheap, acceptable hotels are realtively expensive and the hotel standart is lower as e.g. in Thailand. So this for sure is an acceptable choice.

２度と利用しません。

点数をつけたくない程 酷いです。サイトの写真とかけ離れています。サイトにはビーチビュールームの記載がありまが、実際にはそのような部屋はひとつもないそうです。部屋の水回りは特に不潔で、チョウバエが飛び交っていました。今回、スリランカ内で別の値打ちなホテルに宿泊もしましたがとても快適でした。朝食込でも高すぎます。この金額の価値はありません。 ただ、スリランカ航空のトランジットホテルとして無料利用される方には立地は悪くはないと思います。

Stay somewhere else. Jetwing HOTEL is nicer.

Not for the location, pretty far off from the main area. Sewer smell from the bathroom, mosquitoes and flies in the room with no mosquito nets. Truly an outdated hotel. Thin walls you hear local residents living in the hotel playing in the hallways and babies crying all night long. Pool picture misrepresents reality. Truly an EEEK factor. They are a bit further from the airport than they state.

Disappointed

Backs on to the beach and close to the airport

The hotel is definitely below 3 star/motel. Very dated and hot. The rooms however were clean and confortable except for the water presure in shower. No hair dryer boxes tissues. The bar is hot and humid without even a fan which really does not invite guests to use it. The pool area had only limited banana lounges and had limited space for all the chairs and guests. We were constantly hassled by the street vendors who came up to the pool to sell their wares. The beach near the hotel was dirty with rubbish strewn everywhere.

Ok hotel but the area wasnt what we hoped for.

Stayed one night before leaving for the airport and heading back home. The main hotel felt abit old ( but clean), the pool was not clean, shower didnt work well. The Beach outside the hotel was not clean and welcoming. The rooms were clean and nice, looked like they´ve recently renovated the coridor with the rooms and they had a nice garden where you could have breakfast and dinner in. We didnt have any seaside view though we booked it, the safty box battery died so it didnt work. The breakfast was not included ( as it was in all other hotels we stayed at) and it was very expensive in comparison to other meals we had in Sri Lanka. I would recommend to stay more north on the Negombo Beach.
