We had a lovely stay here, our room was clean, air con, mozy net & clean bathroom. Friendly staff & out side area immaculate. No breakfast but a fantastic restaurant next door, we had dinner there & had a fantastic meal. Oh & a fantastic thunder and lightning storm. Very close to the beach, shops & restaurants.

Very good service, specially Mr. Mark and his team. Wonderful place with easy beach access and clean rooms, flexible policies. Recommending for your stay in Negombo.

The place was clean. The manager was very friendly. Buddika I believe. Don't seem very interested in giving discount to regular visitors. Found a place lot cheaper with equal cleanliness. Considering there are many hotels around Nigambo a little bargaining goes a long way 👍😊

The location is good walking distance to the beach. Lack in cleanliness. Staff was not professional.

best in tis place thanks in

Great tour services, just had 8 days with our driver Ravi and enjoyed it very much. Had a half day with owner Mark today driving to Kalpitiya and have been blown away by his local knowledge and history lesson!

Good service. Affordable. Small but clean rooms. Nice and cheap garden restaurant beside the hotel

Nice cosy place near beach. Got very nice staff, they helped me tracking my lost wallet at the airport. I got it back with all things in place.

Excellent place to stay and tour Sri Lanka from. Owner Mark Thamel is very helpful and will organise trips to meet your needs.

Excellent service by Mr. Mark Thamel and our tour guide Mr. Wasantha. You can't go wrong selecting them to create a tour package. We had a weeks tour - family of 4 with 2 kids ages 4 and 7. We we're coming back after 10 years to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. It was a memorable trip for our kids as it was for us. Right from airport pickup, transfer to Negombo to the guest house which had clean rooms, good bed, clean bathrooms to travel around Srilanka in an air conditioned car to organizing excellent stay throughout - it was all well tailored to our needs and it was possible to tweak the itenary based our likings as well. Highly recommend using the customised tour.

Nice place to stay during your days in Negombo. It is perfect for both:the first or the last day of the trip because is 20 min far from Bandanaraike Airport. They have fans, ac and non ac rooms, clean bathrooms and, although they have wifi connection the signal is very poor or non existent at all(room n4). They provide shuttle service to the airport from very early in the morning by car. Price for 1 night in non ac room and shuttle to the airport :5000 LKR.

I stayed in 2014 as well now, 2016, so I can compare. First of all, their great points are: 1. Location near airport - you dont stay stucked in trafic jam as on the way to Colombo 2. Clean batrhroom and linen. 3 They can arrange transport as you wish, car, tuktuk, only what you need, is tell them what do you expect - airco, price. If you disagree, it´s fine. 4. As most international flights are around the midnight, they do not have any problem ,,keep eye´´ on your backapck during your last couple hours before your departure and you can enjoy last hours on beach or spending your last rupees on souveniers. About price, if you book via some web search tool of course that price is higher than must be. Sometimes is better call them directly and try make a deal. And as usually, confirm the price before move in :) Despite the name, there is NO Ocean view, accomodation is situated near road, so you view is into the nex line of guesthouses and they actually have ocean view. Slowly, but obviously (2014/16) room starting need some basic maintenance for example cleaning properly fan from dust or spiders web, socket - try all of them before move in and doors are a bit damaged by humidity, especialy from bathroom.

Nice place in Negombo, friendly staff and clean rooms
