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.

Our experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing. We stayed for one night on a half-board basis, and the food was nothing short of terrible. The lunch was a complete letdown—bland, unappetizing, and lacking variety. To make matters worse, the only dessert option was a poorly made fruit salad, which did nothing to redeem the meal. The overall quality of the food was far below expectations, making our stay even more unpleasant. We would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a satisfying dining experience.

Très bien situé et à 30mns de l aéroport. Hotel propre, belle piscine . Et en plus la possibilité de rester après 12h en attendant notre départ pour l aéroport. ( 1000RS de l heure) ce qui est très agréable . Restaurants sympa à proximité aussi bien côté route que pied dans le sable

Horrid hotel experience. I’ve stayed in my poor hotels over the years and this was truly awful. Unless there are two Golden Star hotels in Negombo this doesn’t remotely resemble the photos. We arrived to find enormous cockroaches in the bathroom. The mattresses are terrible. I am now in bed at 01:30am with a group of very loud men shouting and singing (and drumming) in the pool and in the corridors. There are at least 20 of them. They have banged our door very loudly around ten times (I lost count) and they tried our door handle twice which is very scary if they’re as drunk as they sound. We called reception who clearly could not control these men. My husband went down to reception and they said they couldn’t reach the manager (I understand he/she eventually came). Our two children were woken up and scared. It went on for 2 hours. The beach is disgusting - full of rubbish and smells. Not necessarily the hotel’s fault but the location. There is a smell of sewage hanging around the place. Very few staff speak English. The receptionist who welcomed us spoke English but no one else did including in the restaurant or during the night when we were struggling with the noise. I had wanted to believe the good reviews and ignore the bad ones avoid but I’m afraid the bad ones are accurate. Please stay elsewhere.

Just returned home from a 23 night stay at this hotel in room 127, whilst visiting friends. From the outset staff could not have been more helpful, informative or friendly. A special thanks to Steve (owner) Greta (Housekeeping Manager) and Angela (Front Office Manager). The room was enormous, extremely well appointed, toiletries, water, tea coffee, kettle, fridge / freezer, free safe in reception. The room was 30 seconds from beach, with the pool right outside the patio doors also, with plenty of sun beds. The room was cleaned daily with fresh towels and sheets. Breakfast was exceedingly good with a massive choice of food to suit all palates with cooking stations also. The pool was very clean, being managed each day. A fantastic hotel, very well located on the beach. All of the staff are extremely, helpful, energetic, willing to help and please, a truly magnificent team. Thank you very much for a great holiday. Kindest regards Neil & Joan.

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!
