“I found this family-run place, with its small number of rooms, conveniently located for exploring downtown Negombo, including the fish market and Dutch Fort. I particularly appreciated the spacious rooms and the inviting terrace; it's a nice spot to unwind with a drink after a day of exploring the local churches and temples. A solid choice for independent travelers.”
