Stayed here in November 2011 and it was perfectly adequate. Sri Lanka is just emerging from 30 years of civil war so many of the tourist facilities are still stuck in the past, as they were in the 70s before the war took hold and people stopped visiting. So expect old and dated. At least for another couple of years... More

The location is OK, a bit away from the main town centre, on the far end of the tourist strip. The hotel layout is nice, if only a bit tired in places. The beds were way low and have the thinest mattress's we have had, not too confortable at all sheets were a bit stained. Pool and bar area was... More

Overall we thought this wasnt too bad,the pool was spotless,the staff were attentive,access was right on to the beach,bar prices were reasonable,breakfast was varied with omlettes made to order.Why can nobody in Sri Lanka make toast ? We only had one evening meal here as we ate out mostly but the buffet meal we had was fine. Now the down... More

My family and I have stayed at the Star Beach Hotel and in Negombo several times. Negombo to us was therefore almost like homecoming. The location with a nice beach directly in front of the hotel and plenty of palmtrees for shade is excellent for all those, who want to avoid the long time consuming 3.5 to 4 hr ride... More

I only stayed at this hotel for one night....admittedly after a very long journey. We arrived here at about 4.00am and were shown to our room. The first thing that hit me was the smell in the room. I can only describe it as smelling of wee!!. We were so tired we slept well anyway. In the morning we saw... More

We were booked into this place and were sent to the sister hotel next door called Don's beach Hotel. The room was clean I admit, but the view is of a brick wall and a stair case. Frosty reception and no facilities as you had to walk over to the Golden Star to use theirs. We were checked in for... More

Don't get blinded by the nice-looking reception area. Rooms are extremely old and dirty. Matresses are thin, hard and filthy. Bathroom looks ok, but is smelly because the showerdrain is just an open hole to the sewer. On arrival you won't smell it because of the refresher they spray, but after a few hours the smell is terrible. The swimmingpool... More

My first impression about this hotel was very good. We’ve got a very nice room ( no 17 ) with pool view and we were very happy. Unfortunately when my kids went sleep ( 6 months and 2,5 year ) I recognize that something is wrong. Hundreds of bedbugs appear on the sheet and attack my sons. I collect some... More
