Marine Tourist Hotel is located in the touristy Lewis Place of Negombo. I needed to stay in Negombo on my way out since I had an early morning flight next day. The guesthouse itself is non-descript and had to spend time to locate it. It does not have a beach facing building and is located on the other side of... More

The rooms are huge and clean and about 20 minutes drive from the airport - no complaints on this side and this is what we were looking for. We arrived in the middle of the night and had asked for the pick up service - worked out well. When we arrived we were shown our room but there was no... More

This is NOT a family hotel! The stairs are totally lethal for small children as the bannisters have large child-sized gaps. The room was spacious and we were given an extra bed and a mattress on the floor (but not, as requested, a cot for the baby). However we only discovered once management had gone to bed that we only... More

Let's face it, accommodation in Sri Lanka can be very hit and miss and surprisingly expensive on the whole. Marine Tourist however, manages to avoid the pitfalls of these other places by being both cheap (USD$35 in peak-season Xmas-New Year) and well maintained. The good: Huge rooms, TV, fridge, very comfortable bed and pillows, modern aircon and fans. The rooms... More

We didn't know what to expect when we booked this room for 2 nights. We chose this hotel because it was one of the few reasonable price hotels that we could find in Negombo where it is not too far from the airport. We had an early flight to catch. Based on the good reviews on TripAdvisor as well, we... More

The website itself quoted $28 for type 2 room, but when we contacted the hotel to make a booking, it went up to $30 (incl taxes). Another unofficial ‘tax’ charge in Sri Lanka that seems to change everywhere we go. When we arrived the lovely lady looked somewhat confused about what we wanted, she did know we had a booking,...

There are tons of guesthouses next to this one so it's easy to have a look at your options. There were... More

My partner and I stayed with Nishan and his family in July 2011 for 2 nights at the start and end of our 2 week stay in beautiful Sri Lanka. Due to our very late arrival Nishan kindly arranged our collection from the airport via email prior to our stay. He met us in the arrivals area with a big... More
