Golden Star Beach Hotel

First of all, the location is a 20-minute walk from the bus stop. I made a reservation thinking it was close to the airport, but that was my mistake. Even if you take a taxi, it takes over 30 minutes to get to the airport. When I asked the price of the hotel airport drop service, I was told it was 6,000 rupees. Uber taxi did not cost 1,000 rupees. The swimming pool was completely different from what it looked like on the reservation site. I didn't even go to the swimming pool because it was small and the quality of the previous beds was poor. It is difficult to use the balcony privately as there is no wall between it and the room next to it. The variety of food served at breakfast is very poor. The only food that can be called the main dish is curry. Flies are sitting on the displayed bread and filling their stomachs. And I made a reservation for 2 days, but they said I was only booked for 1 day and told me to vacate the room and leave. Without even bothering to check my reservation, they told me to leave because the system only had one day left and the reservation had already been filled by another guest. Although it is a fairly expensive hotel in Sri Lanka, it is not a hotel with the same level of service and quality. An impressive and unfriendly man sits at the front desk, which is the face of the hotel. When I looked around Negombo, there were many hotels. Don't just choose here.

Hôtel très bon rapport qualité prix. Piscine avec vue et accessoires à la mer Le top aura été le repas du soir et le petit déjeuner. Vraiment parfait 👍🏻 la qualité comme la quantité Hôtel parfait pour 1 ou 2 nuits. Le personnel est au petit soin pour nous

One last night very close to the airport... the hotel is well located on the main street by the beach, near restaurants and a few shops for those last souvenir purchases. The swimming pool is large. The reception staff are very friendly, attentive, and keen to find an answer to all questions. The buffet breakfast is complete, generous and varied: it normally opens at 7.15 but as we had to leave at 7.30 for the airport, it was ready for us at 7.00 and we really appreciated this gesture! The rooms are huge, those with a pool/sea view are nice. Undoubtedly the swimming pool and the beach could do with more deckchairs and in better condition… and of course we feel that the hotel is aging and could do with a serious refresh but nothing that really made us regret having spent there the last night of our trip!
