Our nine days round tour ended today and, I will stay at Goldi Sands Hotel Negombo for 5 days. To be very honest, this is the best place for us. Simple but comfortable and value for money. Our tour operator suggested this hotel and got us a very good price too. Our nine days tour was organized and booked by... More

The location right on the beach was nice. We stayed in a bungalow by the pool. The food and service were good. Our only real complaints were the need for better pillows, a blanket on the beds and the peddlars on the beach were slightly annoying. The pool was very nice and the pool attendants provide pool/beach towels for use... More

We stayed here over new year and found it good value for Negombo which is more expensive than other beach areas in Sri Lanka. The new years buffet was first class and breakfast had a decent selection. Rooms were clean and customer service decent. Ideal place to stay near the airport at the beginning or end of a trip. More

We read the trip advisor reviews but are a bit confused... did we visit the same hotel??!! We only stayed 1 night, had an early flight out but even for this purpose we would NOT recommend the hotel. Service lousy (wifi not for free unless you say you will not pay and then they will just give you the code)... More

We booked into Goldi Sands due to its proximity to the airport, and a 2.30am arrival. The room was a decent size, and furnished to the standard expected of the hotels' 3 star rating. The room was clean and comfortable, and having a particularly long balcony put us on the fringe of the beach with lovely views of palm trees... More

Goldi Sands is a small hotel, which has been recently renovated. The hotel itself is clean and welcoming as are the rooms. The rooms are well appointed and cleanliness has been well looked into. The hotel opens onto the Negombo beach, which itself is wonderful, although the sea may not be safe to swim in, however the hotel does have... More

I would like to recommend Hotel Goldi Sands in Negombo , Sri Lanka for its outstanding service. I visited Negombo on a very important Business Trip and I must agree the trip was worth it from all ends. I must also add that Mr. Lal the GM and his Admin Team made excellent arrangements for us to conduct our business... More

We last stayed at Goldi Sands 2 years ago and had a wonderful time. So for my birthday we had 3 weeks from 19 Oct to 10 Nov. we were looking forward to seeing the changes, showers are now great, as always the rooms were kept brilliantly clean. However the designers/builders have let the hotel down very badly because each... More

We stayed at Goldi Sands our last night in Sri Lanka so we could be on the beac but still close enough to the airport. When we first arrived the reception area was very nice. We arrived late at night and were promptly checked in. It was unfortunate that the hotel had no free wifi not even in the lobby.... More
