Pros: staff friendly and oblidging. right on the beach
Cons: some electrical wiring in bathrooms dangerous. could have two chairs and a small table in the rooms.
Location: has some shops in close proximity yet most of resturants up the road further. beach right on doorstep.
have stayed here before and will stay again. staff helpfull yet not pushy or in your face. right on the beach. you can get most things you need within walking distance. yet a long way to the far end of town where better restaurants and shops are. breakfast good. mixed juices are tops. value for the price of rooms.

Star Beach Hotel—All Good
Posted 26 Feb 2017
Pros: Friendly and helpful staff. Clean premises.
Cons: Price of beer was slightly high.
Location: Catamaran boat ride was wild. Go to fish markets—there are two.
Great little restaurant across the road—Sea Joy.
I have stayed at 2 other hotels in Negombo—the Star Beach was the best, especially when you consider cost and included breakfast. Staff are very helpful and considerate. I went out for my meals, so I can't comment on meals except for breakfast which was fine. Not buffet style.
They do not have a pool but a small piece of sandy area with easy access to the beach/Indian Ocean.
I stay for 3 nights by myself and always felt secure.

,The location is good but the hotel is filthy!
Posted 24 Nov 2016
Pros: NOTHING
Cons: Everything... ! it's updating and consider employing new staff.
Location: It is in a lovely position but Negombo beach is dirty.
This hotel is filthy,The rooms are dark and musty, the shower room smells of raw sewage, lots of cockroaches, the tap was hanging from the sink and the shower is a trickle. The mugs provided for Tea and coffee had dead dried insects in one mug ....we didn't use them!The staff are also rude and unhelpful,apart for one nice man who served us breakfast.
The hotel is way overpriced,.On our return journey to Negombo we stayed in a spotless room for half the rate!

Needed to be near airport
Posted 25 Aug 2016I had no trouble checking in as they were expecting me. Even allowed check in early.
Comfortable room very clean and refreshed every day. Kettle and tea / coffee provided to make drinks. On a negative point 2 small tea bags or coffee not really enough per day for a hot climate.
Staff very friendly with excellent english.
The big negative point is the lack of a swimming pool but for a small fee you can use the one 100 metres down the beach at golden starbeach hotel

Beachside hotel with O.K room
Posted 25 Jul 2016Great location on hotel strip, near city centre. Directly at the beach, with private beach area, bar and lounge terrace. Breakfast is good. Room wasnt tidy and lots of mosquitos and stray dogs.

Basic but good
Posted 28 Jan 2016 on HotelsStraight forward clean basic budget hotel. Did not arrive until 2 am despite gate being closed they had someone there waiting for me to check me in. Staff was helpful and pleasant, breakfast was decent, beach glorious. Would recommend for a shortvstay.
