"Amazing hostel in Colombo! The first thing I want to mention is the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. They are always ready to assist with anything you need, and the reception is open 24/7, which makes you feel safe and comfortable at any time. Another big highlight is the bistro located on the top floor. The place is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, and the food is genuinely delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the quality, and everything we tried was really tasty. The hostel itself looks stylish, clean, and well-maintained. The interior design is modern and cozy, and overall it feels more like a proper hotel than a typical hostel. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again!"

"Very convenient stay if you are transiting from colombo. The only problem is that it is not accessible through the airport. You have to walk out and reach the hotel. Would be very convenient in future if there is a walkway bridge through the airport which can access to hotel. Would definitely recommend and will stay again"

"After our flight to Colombo airport, we wanted to stay somewhere close to the airport so we could leave early to Sigiriya by private taxi. This hotel was absolutely perfect for that. The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, and quite new. There is an elevator as well which is convenient. Price quality is extremely good for this hotel."

"We arrived at the little boutique hotel about 3:00 am. Everything was closed up and we had to knock to have someone open up the hotel. The location can be difficult to find as there is no big signs. It's in a quiet neighborhood filled with small hotels and homes. The closest stores are about 20 minutes away by foot. The hotel is located next to the beach. The beach is okay, but the pool area is much nicer. The reef/rocks comes up to the shore. The rooms are pretty basic. It was clean, but I did find a roach crawling along the floor. We did half-board which included breakfast and dinner. The food was okay, but nothing to write home about."

"Thos is the best property for a short transit saty. Very near to the airport"

"Really enjoyed my stay here. The staffs were very nice and they were truly helpful to me. Would definitely stay here again."

"DO NOT BOOK. I REPEAT, DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. I was on a 2-day transit visa in Sri Lanka and, after exploring Colombo, decided to spend my night in Negombo before my flight. After looking through the photos and reviews, I chose Hotel J Negombo. That turned out to be a huge mistake. I booked a Standard Room and checked in around 2:30 PM. The only positive thing was that I got the room immediately. Everything else went downhill from there. The room was extremely compact, had no windows, and was filled with a strong mouldy smell that hit me the moment I opened the door. With no fresh air or ventilation, the room felt suffocating. The hospitality was equally disappointing. No one offered to show me the room, no one helped with my luggage, and they don't even provide complimentary bottled mineral water. Instead, they leave a jug filled from an RO water dispenser outside. There were no basic bathroom amenities—no toothbrush, no toothpaste, nothing. The room itself was in terrible condition: - The commode was broken. - The bathroom lights didn't work. - There wasn't even an exhaust fan—just a tiny hole in the wall for ventilation. - The blanket was so thin it barely served its purpose. - Mosquitoes made the stay even more uncomfortable. To be honest, the room felt creepy rather than welcoming. The most frustrating part is that this hotel isn't even cheap. It's priced similarly to much better hotels in the area, making it even harder to justify the poor quality. I had booked the room for one night, but I couldn't bear staying inside. I spent my evening sitting on the beach until around 11:30 PM, only returning to the hotel because I needed somewhere to sleep for a few hours before my flight. I woke up around 3:00 AM and left for the airport, even though my flight wasn't until 9:00 AM, simply because I couldn't wait to get out of that room. The checkout experience summed up the entire stay. There wasn't a single staff member at the reception. I handed my room key to the security guard and left. Please don't let the photos fool you. There are far better hotels in Negombo for the same price. Save your money, save your holiday, and stay somewhere else. 0/10. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL TO ANYONE. Trip.com I have huge respect and I love your platform, do not list these kind of hotels and fool us, feeling completely lost with my hard earned money"

"We rented a hotel for one night before our flight, which was at night, and were allowed to stay in our room for free until evening. We really liked the hotel; everything was brand new and clean. The room was very large and bright, and the staff was very polite. The room had a kitchen and all the necessary utensils. The bed linens and towels were snow-white. I highly recommend this hotel."
