We stayed here for 2 nights whilst exploring Negombo, it is a lovely hotel with clean and large rooms. Short Tuk Tuk ride to centre of Negombo or a 30min walk. WiFi and hot water was accessible throughout our entire stay. We had a very late flight and the very friendly staff let us keep our bags in the hotel until we wanted to pick them up later on in the evening. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would definitely stay again!

Clean, spacious rooms, comfortable enough bed, but very basic amenities. We stayed here one night before commencing our tour as we had arrived in Sri Lanka very late at night. The air conditioner and fan were both very noisy, water pressure very poor on the top floor and the water only ever reached tepid temperature - not really a problem in the tropics! The breakfast was basic but adequate. The wifi did not work in the room, and was very slow in reception. Birdlife along the creek adjacent to the restaurant was interesting - beautiful kingfishers. OK for a short stay, but there are better options in the area.

We needed a place to stay for one night before commencing our travels, and am so glad we chose this place. Not only are the rooms clean and sufficient, but the staff are incredibly helpful. My boyfriend happened to be very sick that night and not only did the owner drive us to the hospital and back at 3 in the morning, he also expected no additional payment for it. That kind of service is exactly what you want out of a place. The complimentary breakfast was also very good. 5 star experience and highly recommended.

Stayed here for last night as close to airport. Over all this place is acceptable, but like others have mentioned its a building site. from the pictures it look serene and peaceful but reality is the owner is adding an extension to the current property. That said the noise wasn't intrusive and the rooms are large and spacious. some of the fixtures and fitting are not complete, so if travelling with kids just be cautious is all i would say. The staff are welcoming and the young man that seems to be doing everything was very helpful and always smiling. Its slightly off the main road but only a 5 minute walk to the beach and main area of restaurants. overall this will be a nice place once renovations are complete but just beware lots of building work being done but if like

For the first night of our Sri Lanka trip, my wife, little son and I stayed for one night in the Summer Summer Side Residence. In general the hotel is ok (also equipped with a small pool). The rooms are simply equipped, but clean and comfortable. Our host and his staff were gentle, however we would have expected a little more attention (when we entered our room, we realized that towels were missing; only after asking two times and picking them up ourselves we got towels in the evening). The included breakfast was good and also the free WiFi worked rather good (definitely not always the case in Sri Lanka). The guesthouse is situated in the north of Negombo (approximately 5 km from the city center of Negombo and central bus station). Both small shops and restaurants are close by

This place is not a proper hotel as it is a house building where in one area, the owner too resides with his family. We booked this place as we needed one night rest before starting our onward journey to Kandy and other cities of Sri lanka. Plus point was its location near the international airport of Sri Lanka. At the time of booking we had already informed the owner about our late night arrival but to our surprise we found the main gate locked having no one around to receive us. Thankfully our cab driver ( GAYAN - WhatsApp no.94712002420) was understanding and patient.(We later hired him for our onward journey which turned out quite an experience with him.) He helped us calling the owner who obviously had gone to sleep.The owner himself took us to our room while carrying

The only reason that I rated this as Poor and not Terrible was because of the very obliging and helpful young man employed by this establishment and a lovely lady cooking the breakfasts....before I rate a hotel or restaurant, I consider very carefully the implications that our ratings and reviews can have on a property especially if it is negative but I cannot in all conscience to my fellow reviewers not warn you all about Summer Side Residence. The photos on the website bare no resemblance to where we have just stayed, as a previous reviewer stated, it is a building site indeed and even the ducks would not want to swim in the pool which was dank and dirty. I think the owner must have decided to put all maintenance and any love into the hotel until the completion of their new

Stayed at this hotel for two nights. The room was very big and we had a balcony with pool- and riverview. We had fridge and a kettle but no tea and cups. The breakfast was egg, fruit, toast and jam. Also a huge selection of teas. The staff was very friendly. The hotel is not far from the beach and the there was a big marked almost around the corner.

The photos advertised on this website - on any website for this accommodation are FAKE. I booked a trip to Sri Lanka for three friends and myself for a school assignment to help out disabled children. We are all aged 17 and are international school girls who live in Singapore. We planned to have a relaxing last night in Negombo before flying out and found Summer Side Residence on Trip Adviser. It fit our budget and looked perfect. First off, this is a construction site NOT a 'residence'. The original building that is advertised on this website was present. However to the right of the site was a huge construction. There were close to a dozen Sri Lankan construction workers standing around as we pulled in next to the residence. Finding this residence was close to impossible. It
