Negombo Hotels with Breakfast

The room is very spacious, in fact one could say too spacious, where you look at the size of the bathroom. It is a shame that some thought was not put into making the bedroom dining area smaller and the bathroom/toilet larger. Some of the plugs for items such as the kettle and bedside lamp were two pin plugs and could not be plugged in. Asked an employee and he provided one adapter to at least plug the kettle in. The place is advertised as an apartment and the facilities support this. There is a sink, two pan electric hot top, fridge, sandwich maker, kettle and a dining table. The AC worked well, the bed was very comfortable and good quality linen and towels were provided. There was a wall mounted TV and an attempt to watch Netflix was made, but it was in Chinese and couldn't work out if it could be changed to English. The Wi Fi was reliable and fast enough not to be an issue. During the night there was a power outage and had to leave the apartment to speak with the onsite employee, to reset the tripped electrical switches. There is a supermarket within a 15 to 20 minute walk away, however being located on a main road, there are plenty of Tuk Tuks that could make it quicker. There is a nearby restaurant that is a separate business and provides plenty of food options, it is on the opposite side and diagonal to the apartment. On the same side as the apartment and a 5min walk, is a business called Barista, where you can get a decent coffee and breakfast. This place was chosen primarily because it was close to the airport and cost approx 800 rupee to get there. All in all would stay again and if the management read this, then the plug situation needs to be sorted, along with the Netflix issue. Lastly I would recommend that perhaps a small hand brush and dust pan were provided.

Our stay was pleasant overall. The beds were comfy, but the aircon was freezing no matter which temperature we selecte

New hotel, perfect for arrival or walking due to the airport nearby.

Overall, a very good hotel and I’ve been a regular guest here for a while. Although the property is starting to show its age, the pool bar drinks could be much better, and there’s no dinner buffet on weekdays, the rooms are still fairly up-to-date with well-thought-out bathrooms. It's a bit pricey, but still a solid stay.

Our stay at Bohemian Nest was nice. The room is very spacious and tidy. The best was very large. The bathroom is nice and tidy. Breakfast was good and so was the pool. The location is near the airport so it is perfect for a stay before or after a flight. There is not much in terms of shopping or food near the hotel but it is easy to get food delivered. The staff were very nice and helpful.

Very friendly staff. It was just an OK stay. The room was a bit run down, common areas were very nice though. The ceiling fan was very noisy because it wasn't really mounted well. It did have a nice restaurant and spa facilities. Two pools were great and the clean beach access was the best. Having a gym was a pleasant surprise. There was a block wide power outage due to power line upgrade and I was grateful they had a generator to keep things going for 8+hours of having no power elsewhere. I personally probably would not want to stay here again.

This was my third stay at the Goldi Sands, honestly, the last time was nearly 20 years ago but I had such a great time back then I had high expectations. In the intervening 20 years, the hotel has had a revamp, double the size, double the number of swimming pools, added an elevator and they've removed the beach-fronted bungalows. All of which I think was a smart move and well worth doing. What has changed is the service and the catering. The staff are of course all very polite just that they didn't go the extra mile like they used to. We arrived late as our flight had been delayed, all I wanted was a couple of bottles of beer, they did arrive but I almost had to beg. I booked a taxi to the airport with the front desk, but they forgot, the waitresses at dinner were all about the hard upsell rather than serving. The breakfast as far as my memory serves me used to be awesome, today's breakfast is the same every day and lacks imagination, is poorly presented, and includes the worst coffee ever. The hotel has a confusing number of tariffs from all-inclusive to room only which means if you want to buy a drink it takes forever as they have to check your ”status” and then if you pay cash they have to go to the cashier as they carry no float. The rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable but basic. All in all it is still a good hotel to choose but sadly it is no longer in the memorable category.

It was less than 10 minutes from the airport and I arrived at the hotel around 1:00am. The staff was very kind even though I arrived in the middle of the night. It was a very short stay, but the price was reasonable and large, and the room and bathroom were very beautiful. I am satisfied. I want to use it again.

After our flight to Colombo airport, we wanted to stay somewhere close to the airport so we could leave early to Sigiriya by private taxi. This hotel was absolutely perfect for that. The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, and quite new. There is an elevator as well which is convenient. Price quality is extremely good for this hotel.
