Arriving from the Hill-tops of Nuwara Eliya to a beach area hotel in the dark night was a bit of surprise with all the neon lights adorning the other well-known hotels along the beach street of Negombo. Not to be out-done by the other 4-Star hotels, this Sea Garden is fronted with some bright lights with an open space lounge... More

Our tour operator asked us for 2000 SKR more to stay in this fleapit. God knows where we would have been staying previously. Carried the luggage up to the 2nd floor, saw the room and decided to check out. The a/c made a terrible noise; there was no toiletries at all; one towel was provided but the bathroom was filthy....

We didn't have high expectations for the hotel after reading the reviews here. But what we get was far worse then you could imagine. The only good thing about the hotel is the location. It's located right at the beach, but the other thing is that there is a beautiful hotel right up the beach. You can pay 750 rupee... More

Unless a room right on the beach is your priority I wouldn`t reccommend staying here. It is dirty, faded, in really poor condition throughout. Staff are like zombies, have no idea about anyting except making sure you pay for everything, fair enough, but it would be nice if they checked if your stay was ok. Worst hotel I can remember...

We stayed here twice for two nights. It's 20-30minutes from the airport, and it's right at the beach, with palm trees and all. The view from the "sea view"-category rooms is quite nice. That said, there are a couple of problems with this one: 1. Cleanliness The bathrooms/showers seemed to have been cleaned only superficially. The sink was downright dirty... More

Though we were a little bit apprehensive about the place when we saw it from outside, the view from our room more than compensated for it. The room was spacious and the beach was right outside it. If you are the kind who wants to lounge around doing absolutely nothing on your holiday, then this hotel provides you everything you... More
