Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The air conditioning for our allocated room had failed. We were offered 2 noisy alternatives off-site. With apologies all round we took our bags without checking in and went to a hotel found by our driver. There the air conditioning in the quiet clean onsite room worked and we checked in there instead.

Ice cool.
Great place to stay, right on the beach but handy for other places such as restaurants. Relaxing with friendly and attentive staff.
Ce petit hôtel (une dizaine de chambres) est idéalement situé sur la plage de Negombo (moins d'une demi heure).
Personnel agréable et serviable, joli jardin en bordure de plage, petite carte au restaurant mais tout est bien cuisiné et savoureux.
Notre chambre était spacieuse, propre et bien décorée. En revanche, juste 2 serviettes de toilette de couleur, une savonnette et un tapis de bain ayant connu des jours meilleurs étaient à notre disposition.
Cela dit, je recommande cet établissement.
A fantastic place with the most beautiful garden. Great food and all of the staff ever so friendly. The best place to stay when just arrived from the airport or ready to leave Sri Lanka. I highly recommend it
Nostalgie. leuke inrichting en prachtige tuin. gelegen aan de indische oceaan. geen luxe voorzieningen maar een unieke sfeer.
Zeer toegangelijke staf en managment.
We voelden ons er goed thuis.
muggen af en toe lastig maar een goede antispray helpt. Ondanks de muggen voor herhaling vatbaar.
we hebben er een goed gevoel en tevredenheid aan overgehouden
