Hive 68 Hotel and Resorts - Negombo

We stayed here after our long flight to recover. The hotel is central to Negombo, was easy to find it by tuktuk. The personal is very friendly and welcoming, the room was very spacious, and basic amenities were there - like kettle, coffee, tea, hair dryer, toiletry and A/C. Room was very clean and the bed was okay to sleep on. Breakfast was delicious. The location is actually quiet nice, next to a little river, the only thing is that it can get a little louder early in the morning when boats pass by. We'd stay again if we should come to Negombo for sure.

The day we checked in, the duty manager. Malaka welcomed us with a cold drink and informed us that though we were two hours early for the check-in, he will get the room sorted out as quickly as possible. We got in to the room within 20mts. The bellboy took our luggage to the room promptly and showed us the facilities in the room. Daily Malaka would greet us when we whet for breakfast and inquired if all was well and if anything else needs done. The entire staff in the hotel, especially the restaurant staff were extremely efficient and friendly and offered us what we asked for very efficiently. Malaka and the other manager was very helpful in sorting out "Pick Me" cabs for our trips and also the cab on the day we vacated to go to the airport. Extremely satisfied with the service at the Hotel and all the staff as they all went out of their way to make our stay very pleasant. I recommend this hotel for anyone intending to stay in Negombo. Well done to all the staff.

Room is spacious, clean, bed was comfortable and air con in room was great. Staff always on hand to make things more enjoyable, weather wasnt great but obviously that isnt the hotels fault. Would definitely stay again. The photo's of the canal view are a bit misleading which is the only reason for marking down the score. The area looks a bit more worn down than what the photo's perceive.

Well run hotel with helpful staff. Liked that balcony had seating and you could watch life and activity on the canal below. Bottled water provided in room. Attractive on-site restaurant with canal views and reasonable prices. Good quality food....had the most tender and best cooked steak, I have ever eaten! Felt safe as lone female traveller. Took their lagoon trip. Told 12,000 before I arrived, but 10,000 when asked at desk. Convenient as boat is moored outside. Arranged an airport taxi for 3,000. Convenient for airport.

Functional little hotel, clean sheets and room, decent Wifi and air-conditioning unit for the main space in the room. Good reception service and restaurant right next door if you want room service. Staff were kind enough to bring our bags up to the room and show us around the room including how to make sure the hot water ran normally in the shower.
