Our firs stay in Sri Lanka! Very nice host. Breakfast was good and enough! The rooms was clean and had a balcony with a really cool view over the canal.

Very lovely stay, nice hotel and pleasant breakfast with eggs and fruits. I even wished for a pineapple juice as it helps with coughing and they made one. The staff was so nice, and helpful with everything. Always a smile on their lips. Hotel has the perfect location when arriving from or planning to go to the airport. Recommend!

Great room with an enchanting view over the canal and church. The staff were lovely and we really enjoyed our stay.

They double charged me 8400 LKR at the location even though I already paid 5999 LKR on Agoda, saying I haven't paid yet and kept saying that "it is not refundable and I have to contact Agoda for a refund" no matter how many times I explained to them the charge from Agoda is non-refundable. I didn't even want to have their breakfast anymore. Their hotel smells intolerably horrible by the most dirtiest stinky nasty river. They are the most evil people in the world and completely ruined my life. They shouldn't be operating any business as if they are normal people.

We were lucky to get one of the last rooms at Christmas, many places were fully booked. We paid walk-in rate including breakfast, which was same price as booking online. The room is good, clean, AC and hot water worked and even had a small balcony. Unfortunately it had a strong very disgusting smell, which was coming from the vent in the bathroom. Might be the reason why they use a lot of room refreshers. There were other things which were not so great. The employees were drinking with friends in the garden all night long making noise. They also seemed pretty hungover the next day and the previous smiles had vanished. This is not what I expect from a professional hotel. Something else was fishy, although the receptionist asked us the day before if we want breakfast, which we agreed to, the next day he said we only had paid room rate. We insisted on getting breakfast and did not need to pay 10 dollar more for the breakfast, but still the whole situation made us feel very uncomfortable. We decided to check out and move to a very nice place for the same money close to the beach.

Hive 68 is located right in the heart of Negombo. This boutique hotel is accessible to some of the major tourist destinations around the city and 5 minute walk is all you need to reach anywhere. From the check-in and to your room, the staff here provided us with a smooth transition. Lankan Hospitality at it’s finest, staff at Hive 68 has ensured us a warm welcomed stay. The hotel’s architecture is one of it’s own kind. Blended with the nature, the hotel gives the guests a therapeutic sense of relief and a time a recharge from a tiring day. Rooms are quite neat and tidy. Ample space to move around and quite the comfortable beds. The balcony gives a great view over the canal and I recommend to visit there during the night time. The rooftop here is a must visit with a breathtaking view around the city. Solid place for a small drink with a couple of friends as you sip in any beverage and absorbing the view in. Being affordable, comfortable and friendly, kudos to the management and staff! Looking forward again to my next stay!

This is an excellent place to spend a quiet weekend! Food was great and so was the service! Stayed for two days and the management made sure everything was comfortable. Gave a good deal as well! Parking also available and location is not difficult to get to either. Would highly recommend for your next staycation!

It's a fabulous hotel. Large clean room with all basic facilities. Helpfull and kind staff and good breakfast.

Really friendly staff. The rooms were very clean and new. And the closeness to the town centre was convenient if you're looking for some shopping. However this is not close to any beach. But next to the lagoon. Breakfast served had coffee, a plate of fruits, eggs with toast was just enough and great. Had some food at the restaurant the night before that was also great. The staff were always happy to help with anything. Overall great experience! Would stay again.

One of the best value for money hotels in Sri Lanka with an exceptional service! Highly Recommended.

Perfect hotel for getting to the airport. The manager is lovely and speaks good English. Nice rooms and hot showers.

Great place and very welcoming staff! Or rooms were directly next to a canal which was pretty nice and quiet. I would definetly come again!

Very cost efficient hotel! Amazingly friendly manager with all the staffs! Breakfast has no buffet settings but was good enough for a la carte serving!

Had a good deal on the room. The balcony had a nice view of the canal.

Exceptional staff so polite and helpful. We arrived during a curfew due to protests. The staff offered great advice and assistance which made our 2 day stay perfect. Close to airport, fish market and beach, breakfast lovely. Highly recommend this hotel. What a perfect start to our month long Tuk Tuk tour of this wonderful Island. Thank you.

For the price it was a great place to lay your head down before heading off for an early morning flight. Comfy room with tv and wifi. Food good in restaurant. Friendly staff.

Currently staying in one of the rooms and I'm really happy with my stay. Behavior of all the staff members is really really good. I'll surely recommend this hotel to my friends and colleagues.

We only stayed there for 1 day but it was really nice, big bedroom, balcony to the canal, helpfull stuff a very good breakfast in the morning

Located 4 km from all the restaurant, shops and points of interest so not really walking distance. The photos online are VERY unrealistic and the rooms are old and tired, smelly and unclean. They also arranged an overpriced airport transfer for us and the driver showed up 15 minutes late and immediately needed to stop at the gas station. There are much better options around

Perfect location in heart of negombo town with the canal view. Nice and clean rooms. Friendly staff. Tasty food 🥘 Good price

We spent one night here. Everything was okay, the staff was kind. The walls are quite thin, we could hear the neighbors having showed perfectly well.

Stayed one night. Clean rooms and enough space. Nice views. Foods were not available during my visit and no internet facilities as well.

Arrived from the airport at 1am and were pleasantly received. Staff looked after us and the room was clean and tidy. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and we were fed until we were full. Conveniently located less than 10 minutes walk from the train station for easy transport the next morning. Would recommend highly to anyone.

Room was clean and all amenities were provided, staff was friendly and it was very close to the city. Car park is available where you can park around 3 vehicles. A separate restaurant is available in the ground floor. Could be difficult for disables since the place is not much spacious. Breakfast was not good enough for us. The sea smell comes from the balcony was bad also the sound of the AC machine inside the room was an issue.

Good staff very hospitable but a little pricey.

The manager told me on the phone a low price. When I drove there and wanted to finalize, the price was suddenly 30%higher. So i left...

Nice view outside the balcony But no lift and night time balcony is not so great due to no hoods in street lamps. Light hits directly in the eyes

Room was clean and spacious and everything worked well. The best part about the hotel was the.manager and the staff they were so helpful. It was took the experience to a whole new level 🙏😊

When I arrive at 4 am .. the hotel was closed I call the number that was sent to email with booking info. But no one answered call them no one answered the office was closed and the light off. I had to take another hotel. I already paid and charged but didn't sleep.

Superb communication, quick answers for all your questions prior to arrival. Friendly staff and warm welcome upon the arrival. Nice rooms with all facilities mentioned in there web site. They were enough flexible to offer us an early check in. I can highly recommend this place for your stay.

A quiet hotel in the center of the city..We went there to spend our honeymoon..super staff..operation manager mr.Malaka was very supportive..the dinner we ordered Sea food rice was excellent.and it was perfect for the honeymoon.

One of the best City Hotel I’ve been in Negombo. I’m definitely going there for sure. Love the location and the rooms. And I have to tell you super and lovely staff. Thanks Hive 68 you made my day.

Superb hotel located in strategic location. This is the best hotel to stay during transit near airport. This is the only hotel where you will find great service from the front desk staff..... You can give more than five stars for their approach and support.

Even though Hotel Hive68 is situated in the heart of the Negombo Town, it was quiet and peaceful inside the hotel. The staff was very friendly, courteous and helpful. Rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. Fabulous breakfast was provided. The hotel is in a very convenient location for transport, shops, churches, beach, lagoon etc. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anybody. Had a very comfortable one week stay with my son at Hotel Hive68. Very reasonable rates. Will always choose Hive68 whenever we go on holiday to Sri Lanka in future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Stayed in the hotel on 28/12/2020 and 04/01/2020. Located very close to airport. The rooms were clean. The breakfast offered in the morning was good. How ever despite clearly mentioning that i needed accesible rooms for my parents preferably on first floor, we were allotted room on second floor and my mother found it really difficult to get to the room. Overall a good hotel but my advice - people with aged parents / having difficulty in taking stairs - please totally avoid the hotel.

Great place to stay. Room is spacious, very clean, with balcony, TV, AC and all necessary supplies. No elevator though, be prepared to take stairs. Staff is very friendly. In case of need they gonna easily arrange a transfer to the airport (we payed 1500 AED). I highly recommend Hive 68 to stay in Negombo.
