I'll keep it short, I'm so tired after my trip to say the hole story. Rooms: dark, old, no fridge , no plugs, no towels unless you ask, dirty sheets, no double bed- just two small ones with paper thin mattress , door lock that takes "hulk power" to put the key in and turn it, way to much noise!...

OK Don’t know where to start. This was one of the worst experiences in my whole life. We booked this Hotel due a shortage of accommodation in this area. Anyway, after a long flight we arrived in Sri Lanka, our pick up was there , so we looked forward to have a nice rest after checking in. The reception area... More

This was a great hotel in the 80s ...had a lovely pool and garden- which could be modernised...though rooms were large and very clean....except for the blood stain we found (not ours!) on our doona prior to leaving..suggesting that doona/ quilt isn't changed as regularly as required.!!! Clean towels daily which was good. In saying that...sheets were clean and changed... More

the only good thing about this hotel is the location - close to the airport and the breakfast. Otherwise the room were dirty, the A/C not really working and the fan on the ceiling was soooooo loud, that you could not have it on for than 5 minutes otherwise you´d go crazy!!! More

We would call it an older 3 star hotel in good shape. The breakfast was very basic, but the a la carte dinner better than what we had experienced in some Negombo restaurants. The wi-fi internet in the lounge is FOC. More

It's a shame we didn't start here. We originally went south and our vacation in Sri Lanka was hindered greatly due to this. For starters, the very best advice I can tell anyone going to Sri Lanka, please know this very important piece of info - Traveling from one city to another takes many hours!! To go 120 km is... More

We booked two nights here as we arrived in Sri Lanka late at night and wanted somewhere to crash and spend the next day recovering. We also booked an airport transfer and were met by a friendly and helpful man who took us back to the hotel quickly and comfortably (about 20 minutes door to door). However the room we... More
