    Let me start off with the better things. Rooms are good and comfy and thats about it all. Grossly understaffed with bad service. They are easily overwhelmed with slightly greater crowd. Apart from the lady at reception, nobody understands english, its quite a challenge for foreigners to converse. Room service is poor and minimal. Hospitality is pretty poor and rudeness of staff makes things even worse. Nobody mans the reception, you have to walk down to ask for any service and pick it up yourself. Wifi connectivity and speed are poor. Connectivity is on and off, depending on the mood of the lady at reception. She may make a complaint to the service provider if you've been good to her 🤣. Rooms in terms of size and cleanliness are pretty ok but bathrooms do not have hot water supply. Complimentary 500ml water bottle per day is grossly inadequate considering the hot climatic conditions. Any extra water is charged. The hotel's restaurant has a very limited menu especially for vegetarians. Restaurant and kitchen area is infested with loads of house flies which keep buzzing the buffet layed and fly around your plate, very irritating to have your meal in such a place. Overall it was my worst experience..

    Food was delayed for all 3 meals and lack of staff made the stay here kind of miserable. The rooms are good but still lacks most of the essentials.

    Positives: Clean Room, Comfy Bed, Sea view, Speedy Wi-fi & Early Check in. Negatives: -We wanted to reserve the room on fullboard basis, but the manager (or the reservations in charge) advised us to reserve room only basis and to select food with different varities. He also mentioned that they had special offers for the food as well. But real scenario was no special offers for the food and also they had very few common varities to select. - We selected the hotel based on the sea view with such high rate although we had better rates from other same range hotels for BB. - We had to ask for water bottle, water glasses, tea bags & sugar, toiletries etc as these things were not arranged in the room when we checked in. - We asked them to top up our package to BB and it was possible, but they were only serving Milkrice and Lunumiris for breakfast. It was hilarious, they just did not offer a simple english breakfast menu. - We called several times to the room service after lunch to clean the leftovers and no one answered the call. You should take these matters seriously guys. Overall this was a bad stay for us considering our previous stays in Negombo hotels.

    A staff of 5 run the hotel. Apart from the lady at reception, nobody understands english, its quite a challenge for foreigners to converse. Being absolutely Understaffed, the services are very poor. No room service at all. Hospitality is pretty poor and staff is very rude. Nobody mans the reception, you have to walk down to ask for any service and pick it up yourself. Wifi connectivity and speed are poor. Connectivity is restricted to only one corner of the room and is switched off at 2230hrs every night. Rooms in terms of size and cleanliness are pretty ok. Room card locking system doesn't work properly. Bathrooms do not have hot water supply. Complimentary 500ml water bottle per day is grossly inadequate considering the hot climatic conditions. Any extra water is charged. The hotel's restaurant has a very limited menu especially for vegetarians. Restaurant and kitchen area is infested with loads of house flies. They keep sitting on the buffet layed and fly around your plate, very irritating to have your meal in such a place. Overall it was my worst experience..

    Nice place to stay on the main street. Due to usual lack of European socket adapters you should think of taking your own or risk staying out of power. Very modern solutions you would not find even in Europe. TVs show only local programs with no external connection options which is a pity. Comfortable airport transfers.

    Difficult stay. Too many problems, which to be fair to the staff, they tried to solve

    Hotel with great sea views and very near the beach.

  • 3/5 Caroline F. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean, spacious and comfortable bedrooms, with good air conditioning. Breakfast was ok, nothing special, but it was sufficient. The restaurant was extremely warm, and they only switched on the air conditioning after we asked them several times. Location wise; Ruvisha Beach Hotel was ok for just one night. But if I’d been in Negombo for longer I would definitely have preferred a more central location, and a hotel with a pool that wasn’t right next to the car park and main road. Staff were a bit of a mixed bag - some were super helpful, whilst others just couldn’t be bothered. I wanted to exchange some cash, and the two reception staff looked none too pleased that I’d asked them. After a few minutes they tried to convince me not to exchange as the rate was so low (but it was getting lower by the day, so it made no difference either way) then they told me they couldn’t get hold of whoever had the keys for the cash… Quite frankly, they just didn’t want to do it. If you’re after somewhere clean and comfortable to spend the night after arriving in Sri Lanka, then this hotel is perfectly adequate. But if I ever return to Negombo, I’ll be looking for a hotel that appreciates my custom a little more.

    Scenery is good. But in these days prices are high. We had a party at roof top. Corkage prices are higher than others.

    Me, my wife and daughter was there for day out with celebration of kid's B'day. We have enjoyed well and got a special service and the staff was supportive, friendly.

    Room was filthy. Someone else’s hair was all over and in my bed. The sheets were synthetic and pilling which felt awful in the heat. The bathroom looked like it had never been cleaned since the hotel opened! At 2pm on my second day I came back to my room and it had not been cleaned. I spoke to the maid and she said she would clean it while I was at the pool. At 3.30pm I returned and my room still was not clean. She told me to go back to the pool… I gave up on trying to get it cleaned.
