What a great place! Nicely furnished, clean & comfortable. The owner is FANTASTIC & she makes a yummy breakfast every morning. Everything that you need is nearby, restaurants, bars, live music, shopping. The beach is directly across the street. You can also use the facilities of the resort across the street for 2,000 rupees per day. This includes beach chairs, towel, pool, wi-fi, restaurant & bar. I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Sri Lanka.

Nice but could be better for the price
Environment is nice and location is great. Room is clean, comfy except lots of mossies. Was in twin room and was bitten by bed bugs or dust mites until i had to switch bed. Would be helpful too if shampoo, conditioner, adult size bath towels were provided.

A lovely stay!
A really nice hotel about fifty yards from Negombo beach. It is in a little alley off the main road and is well situated and clean. The staff were lovely also. A tuk tuk will take you to the main sites in a few mins for about 500 rupees. The locals are really lovely - almost everyone will stop to speak to you or to say good morning. A really nice start to a month in Sri Lanka!

Stayed for 2 nights after arriving from the airport, and before our trip in Sri Lanka. Rooms are very clean and spacious, very quiet AC or ceiling fan if you prefer. Lovely well kept property with an easy access to the sea where you are able to swim but unfortunately very little shade on the beach. Would recommend 100%

I can only recommend this place. The owner is absolutely lovely, she communicate all the time. she tried to help us as much as possible. THe room was nice, clean and no smell. That was one of the best things. Even when we stayed in other places including 4* hotels, the smell was terrible. So for sure I would return to this place anytime. Highly recommend it.

Comfort and location
Comfortable bed in large room, air conditioning and fan, and large, clean bathroom. Breakfast (included) was delicious, one morning was Sri Lankan pancakes (like crepes with coconut and brown sugar), fresh fruit, fresh juice and your option of egg. The second morning was dosa with curry, fresh fruits and juices. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. Location is great, many shoos and restaurants nearby, beach access is across the street.

Perfect hotel.
Cannot recommend this hotel enough. It’s a small family run hotel run by two Italian brothers. The entire hotel is spotless. Their attention to detail is fantastic. The rooms are large and modern. The room was cleaned to five star standard every day. It’s very close to the beach and lots of good restaurants and shops. The breakfast is simple but delicious. The grounds are well kept and welcoming. The staff cannot do enough for you. It’s close to the airport (approx 20 minutes) and is the perfect start or end to a touring holiday of Sri Lanka.

Très confortables chambres avec beaucoup de luminosité. Beaux balcons agréables. Distance de marche de la plage et des restos. Nous avons aussi apprécié l'accueil de la propriétaire et des employés. Petit extra très agréable et écologique: possibilité de remplir nos bouteilles d'eau.

Jätte bra litet hotell.
Jätte bra ställe att bo på. Bra frukost, trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Rent och frächt. Lungt och tyst. Saknade dock ett kylskåp på rummet. Annars så trivdes vi jättebra.

Shanelo hotell
Väldigt fint hotell som var relativt nybyggt. Jättefina och stora rum med stor balkong. Lagom stort hotell med kanske 10 rum. De erbjöd sri lankisk frukost om man ville ha det. Hotellet låg nära huvudgatan och stranden på nära håll. Ändå hörde man inte trafiken. Enda smolket i bägaren var trycket i duschen, men det har många hotell i dessa länder.

Mycket bra hotell med utmärkt läge
Bodde här 2 nätter. Hotellet och läget överträffade våra förväntningar. Det ligger på en lugn liten sidogata nära till shopping, restauranger och stranden. Hotellet verkar relativt nybyggt. Rummen var rymliga med skön säng och välfungerande AC. WiFi fungerade bra. Duschutrymme med avgränsning med vägg och dörr. Bra med fungerande både varmt o kallt vatten. Balkongen fin men fanns mygg där. Personalen trevlig och serviceinriktade. Hjälpte till med att ordna transport till Kandy. Frukost ingick och den var bra. Bestod av juice, frukttallrik, omelett eller stekta ägg, toast, smör och marmelad samt kaffe eller te. Ska bo här igen innan hemresan om möjligt
