I have stayed at Silver Sands many times now over the last two years, the location is perfect, set back on the beach, the staff are lovely, it is family run business and the owner is quite religious, sometimes he can be seen praying in the hotel reception. The rooms are basic, but clean with hot water etc and good... More

We booked in here before going to the airport for a midnight flight, so do not know about the sleep quality. The hotel is right on the beach so we had a lovely walk, adequate showers, and a very nice meal. We wished we had more days to stay here, so relaxing was this hotel. Maybe next visit. More

Stayed at Silver Sands for 1 night after arriving at airport round 4:30 in the morning. The taxi to get there shoud cost no more than 1000rupees that early in the morning. Although having emailed the owner and askng for early check-in and having a reply that if rooms were available he'd be happy to accommodate us, we end up... More

We were here again and again: it is a good and quiet place, immediately to the beach and with a very nice garden. They have good working WiFi and you can make your choice: they have aircon and not aircon rooms. Besides that, they have good food! More

Stayed in Silver Sands for one night before heading on in S.L - as per other reviews, very adequate place. The breakfast is great, overlooking the ocean, don't think I have felt that relaxed in a long time. More

Not that Negombo would be that great of a vacation destination, in fact I would never spend more than one-two nights here. But as far as Silver Sands is concerned, it is a decent hotel with good internet connection, fairly quick food service and and ok beach. More

I've stayed here four times now, and still find it the best option in Negombo. The rooms are basic but very clean and comfortable, and the verandahs, particularly on the ground floor, are a great bonus. The garden is small but pleasant, and the beach frontage is onto one of the less busy stretches of Negombo's coast. The food is... More

I thought this hotel was perfectly adequate. The room was basic and had quite a lot of mosquitos but was ok for just one night near the airport especially as it was not too expensive for Sri Lanka. I liked the design with all the white arches. More

An excellent choice for a place to spend the day relaxing before or after a flight. Just a short drive from the airport and situated on a serene beach, walk out of your room and onto the sand in just seconds. Jog on the beach, have a meal at sunset looking out over the ocean, enjoy a Lion Beer with... More
