Clean, spacious and comfortable bedrooms, with good air conditioning. Breakfast was ok, nothing special, but it was sufficient. The restaurant was extremely warm, and they only switched on the air conditioning after we asked them several times. Location wise; Ruvisha Beach Hotel was ok for just one night. But if I’d been in Negombo for longer I would definitely have preferred a more central location, and a hotel with a pool that wasn’t right next to the car park and main road. Staff were a bit of a mixed bag - some were super helpful, whilst others just couldn’t be bothered. I wanted to exchange some cash, and the two reception staff looked none too pleased that I’d asked them. After a few minutes they tried to convince me not to exchange as the rate was so low (but it was getting lower by the day, so it made no difference either way) then they told me they couldn’t get hold of whoever had the keys for the cash… Quite frankly, they just didn’t want to do it. If you’re after somewhere clean and comfortable to spend the night after arriving in Sri Lanka, then this hotel is perfectly adequate. But if I ever return to Negombo, I’ll be looking for a hotel that appreciates my custom a little more.
