Nice hotel with pool at the beach.

Room 101 (non sea view) is terrible, no view at all. We could get an upgrade for USD 10,00 per night and got a standard sea view room which was a good deal. Hotel with pool and at the beach is perfect. Close to restaurants and shops. There is a airport transfer, but in the street you can get a transfer for half the price. Really good breakfast.

Nice hotel and lovely staff our room wasn't great

Staff was great, lovely food, nice pool and beach. But our room wasn't the best for the price paid. A/C was not working and the sink was clogged. ( But we did not inform the hotel regarding these issues as we stayed only for a night). They kindly extended our checkout time by an hour.

Nice hotel BUT

The hotel is well situated on the beach with a nice pool but spoilt by too many wedding parties taking over the facilities with the obvious noise issues. Food mediocre and often cold. Bathroom smelly..cold showers. No entertainment facilities at all.constant hawkers on the beach. No peaceful holiday.

A good value mid level choice in Negombo

Goldi Sands is a good to very good hotel on the beach in Negombo. Facilities are functional and clean. Staff are very helpful. It’s not a flashy place but then again it’s well priced. We stayed in one ground level room which was a bit dark and tired, and in a top story room (200 #s) that was brighter and had ocean views which we much preferred. Food was fair to good not great. Nice pool. Beach sellers and debris can be annoying enough to keep one off the beach. Negombo itself is unattractive but does have some shopping and some good food eg. Cilantro.

Hotel location good . Breakfast good . Rooms good apart from showers poor as Luke warm to cold water . Contacted reception was told maintenance would come nobody came. I think it was a common thing to have cool water . If an unusual problem this would of been dealt with or alternative room offered but nothing . This spoilt our first experience of Sri Lanka as we had just arrived. So wouldn’t stay again.

Misleading photos. Our room was a double, arrived to a twin. Dirty, dated facilities with a sewage smell in the bathroom. View from first floor room overlooks dirty rooftops. Restaurant ok but dirty old plastic wind shields line the edges. Beach full of ants and local pedlars continuously trying to sell, hotel do nothing to prevent this or move them on, unable to leave anything on the beach to go swimming for example because of this. Too few pool loungers for the number of staff and the usual towels on beds by 6am despite no one coming to use them until 10-11am and hotel do nothing to prevent and in fact put towels out for them. Very little in the local area to do. Hotel will try to rip you off for arranging taxis to the airport, wanted $30 for 25 minute trip, tuk tuk at the roadside took us for $4. Pool staff good and attentive. Would miss Negombo altogether on your itinerary.

good hotel for a short stay

This was our first hotel on arriving in Sri Lanka for a 3 week tour. Rooms on ground floor overlooking the pool were ok but i don't think I'd want to satya in the main block of rooms given their location. No lifts. The room, as with most hotel rooms in Sri Lanka, was showing signs of being affected by the humidity and looked a bit worn and had a damp smell about them. Unfortunately there was a drain smell in the bathroom which although not really bad was a bit off putting. The buffet breakfast was good and we ate three times in the hotel dining room over our 5 night stay, the food was very very varied and good. There is direct access to the beach from the hotels and although there were lots of beach hawkers they did not encroach onto the hotel property. Unfortunately when we visited in Nov 2018 there was a lot of building work going on as they are extending the hotel and this was right next to our block. We were not told about this before we arrived. One day the building work went on for a full 24hr period, right through the night. When we complained the next day they said they had to work through the night as there was a load of concrete coming the next day and they had to have everything ready for it!!!! The staff were OK and surprising got more friendly the day before we left!

Goldi Sands

Dette var det første hotellrommet vi hadde på Sri Lanka og det er helt greit, hverken mer eller mindre. Servicen på hotellet mtp innsjekk var kjapp og upåklagelig, i tillegg til at de var behjelpelige med å finne transport for oss videre til Kandy. Rommet var rent, men aircondition var enten for varm eller for kald. Og badet hadde en svak eim av kloakk, men det har vi i ettertid skjønt at er litt vanlig her. Frokosten var helt ok, litt kjedelig buffé, men med egen omelettkokk. Hotellet har eget basseng og ligger rett på stranden ca 15 min å kjøre fra flyplassen. Kunne fint bodd her igjen en natt, men tenker det ikke er ett sted du vil være lenge.
