+We chose this accommodation due to the late arrival from the airport and also near the Negombo fish market.
−I have read some reviews saying the noise and smells from the window due to the location near the fish market. In fact, I realised it is not because of the location. It is actually from the bathroom drainage. They need to do some drainage unblock work. I shower after my husband, the water didn't flow down quick enough. We check in right after 12am due to late night flight. They provide us gate passwords, but the ground floor has no lighting at all. It was a bit scary to go up if you are a single female. Lucky our pick me driver was very kind, he waited for us to open the gate to confirm we were safe, only he left. The Roman blind is not fully covered at the side windows. If it is during day time, I'm not sure someone walking past the window can see through the curtain gap.

“Excellent”
+Our second stay at the canoe before flying out of the country. Lovely room and bathroom with toiletries and some drinking water included. We had a very late flight the next day and the host let us stay past check out for a small fee which was very generous and useful! Highly recommend for a stay near the airport.

“Good for one night after long flight, otherwise not the best sleep due to windows not being fully covered by the blinds.”
+Easy check in, nice spacious room. Host was lovely!
−Not very clean and window blinds did not cover full window so other people of the hotel could look in if they wanted to.

“スリランカ旅行初日を快適に過ごしました”
+・バスターミナルやスーパーが近く、移動途中の短期滞在に最適なロケーション。・部屋は清掃が行き届き、ドライヤー、wifi、エアコン、シャワーも快適に使えた。・共有スペースに椅子やテーブルが置いてあり、ビールと料理を買って来て食べることができた。・建物の3階と4階に位置します。スタッフの常駐はないが、階下の店の人が連絡を取ってくれスムーズにチェックインできた。・宿の入り口はオートロックで開ける時はルームキーをかざすので、防犯面も問題なし。
−よくなかった点はありません。以下を理解の上で滞在してください。・スリランカでよくある廊下に窓がある構造なのでカーテンを全開にすると部屋が丸見えになる。・冷蔵庫は置いていません。
