“Decent place to start/end your Sri Lanka vacation”
Basic but decent place to spend your first (or last) night in Sri Lanka. It’s only a 15 min drive from the airport. Also, there’s Negombo bus station and a train stop nearby, so you can easily get to your next destination. There’s a small garden that I really liked, also the breakfast is recommended. Staff is overall friendly and helpful. Most people stay there for a night only.

“Nice great value stay”
Room was great for the price, but I’d bring your own towels or pillowcases because the sheets do not smell very nice…
