Gomez Place is a little oasis in Negombo. The room was immense with outdoor seating in one of the many parts of the glorious garden. The pool was refreshing and breakfast a treat. Staff were always available and helpful.

We booked as it had a good review. On arrival we thought the rooms were a bit dated but everything went up from there. The grounds are lovely, nice and intimate, the staff were fantastic and Mr Gomez greeted us at breakfast every morning. You will get offered eggs for breakfast but you can ask for a menu but limited offerings. having said that the eggs/omelette were fine for us. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I would stay again.

Recommend this place

A very cozy place with just a short walk to the beach and shoppingstreet. Very nice staff that was so helpful when my mum forgot her phone at the hotel when leaving for the airport. Very nice breakfast and the best coffee I had in Sri Lanka.

Such welcoming staff! The room was huge, the bed very comfortable and the shower offered tons of hot water with lots of pressure. The breakfast was incredible - eggs, toast, yogurt, fruit platter and a big pot of coffee - all complimentary. Nice quiet area.

Fabulous stay

Fab, quirky place - each room is very different. Really helpful & friendly staff. Great breakfast, cooked to order and taken by the pool. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach and bars/restaurants. Lovely introduction to our first trip to Sri Lanka. Recommend booking their airport pickup - it was nice to know that at the end of a long flight someone would be waiting for us. Would recommend to others coming here.

The hotel is convenient to the beach, dining and the airport. The staff and especially Mr. Gomez were extremely kind and helpful. They arranged a very early 4am car to the airport. Breakfast was excellent. Highly recommended way to start or end your stay in Sri Lanka.

This is a very nice place to stay. Near the beach but an oasis of calm in the hotel. All the staff are very welcoming and helpful. I liked the pool for my water yoga and there was always some shade and sunshine so you could be comfortable.
