For my 7 night stay in Negombo I picked the Windmill because of the price and its excellent value at $24.00 per night. The room is clean and tidy, the bed nice and firm, pillows a bit on the small side for my liking, but otherwise OK. A/C works perfect but the fan is a bit noisy. Asked every day... More

I arrived late at night and the saving grace for the place was that they had a room. Sadly the reason was clear, no one would wish to stay here. The room had a bed, non-sprung mattress, a chair. The lock on the door did not work so I had to put a suitcase in front of it all night.... More

Booked a room and paid the deposit via the internet. Arrived to a bunch of confused staff who wanted to make me pay immediately for the room - which was more that the booking price so I Insisted on looking at the room first: This place was terrible because: 1) no mosquito net, 2) everything looked really old and worn,...

Went on a recommendation of a friend from Cambridge. The whole trip was very enjoyable. This is the first hotel we stayed at. Close to the airport. Friendly staff and the management was too. It is being renovated after being on some lease for some time. Food was great too. The sea was just across the road. The service made... More

Never tried worse hotel. Disgusting, old and dirty room. Seemed like a place from world war 2. We slept all night on top of the bedsheets since everything seemed so disgusting. Didn't even want to open our suitcases in case of flees or other bugs. Would rather sleep on the beach than this place which I won't even call a... More

Truly awful. And at $28 per night - talk about rip off!! We stayed here for our last night in Sri Lanka and how we regretted it. It felt like a hotel room in Beirut or some kind of war zone. Filthy room, tiny beds with thin worn mattresses, no hot water, the pillows were at least 10 years old... More
