Terry M wrote a review Jan 2020
Hamilton, Canada

This was a nice hotel. It is not shoreline property but the beach is less than 5M away. High walls give you no first impression from the outside. Once inside, it is a bit like an oasis of tranquility. There are rooms over two floors. Through the far doorway is the restaurant, bar and pool area. The public area is very nice, the saltwater pool a different touch. Staff were unfailingly polite and helpful. My large room had most of the design elements. The a/c was a godsend in the heat. Marilyn Monroe’s eyes stared back at me over the length of the bed. The shower was large; the bathroom, very clean. Shampoo and the like in small, clay-like bottles, something unusual. Two prong North American plugs worked in the room. Coffee and tea facilities were appreciated. Did not try the tv. There is a desk and chair and an outlandish lime green sofa. There was also a small fridge. The wifi was strong but I would limit attempts to upload photographs to two at a time. My dinner with prawns and seer fish was delicious. The morning breakfast had a range of options [American, Continental or Sri Lankan]. I was able to check in early and was not charged anything further in that regard, a classy move as my flight arrived very early in the morning. Kudos to Sunil and his excellent team.

The hotel is not at all like the photos. Therefore if you go expecting something as in the photos you will be very disappointed. There is no sea, beach or even any kind of view from anywhere in the hotel. The pool is in a small enclosed space although the photos make it seem like on a beach. The room windows open onto a courtyard and therefore have to be kept very carefully covered with blinds. There are no other windows for a view.

Basically it is a very small hotel, across a road and a bit of a walk from the beach. The bed linen is OK but the towels are quite worn and about to tear. The toilet too shows wear and tear. Two single beds are combined to make queen beds therefore it's not comfortable. However the hotel is very clean and they have a generator. Therefore they have some power during a power cut unlike at other small hotels.

The restaurant is characterless and the average quality food is highly over priced. Thankfully there are lots of restaurants with life and character within walking distance

The reception is unmanned most of the time so anyone can walk in. The staff are very friendly

We chose Pledge 3 because it was close to the airport and we were coming in on a late flight. It ended up being far better than a mere “stopover” hotel. The staff were excellent - especially Sunil Fernando - and willing to answer all of our questions about logistics in Sri Lanka as well as take a few food requests. The location is right back from the beach which makes it easy to hop on over if you are so inclined. The rooms were clean, and the breakfast was excellent. We would certainly recommend Pledge 3 to any incoming/outgoing travelers to Sri Lanka.

It was heavy raining few weeks in Sri Lanka and as the hotel rooms being created in a very open-area concept, it was very slippery and wet. When we first enter the hotel and saw how the rooms being located, I was honestly thinking “are they cheating with the photography?!?” & once we were led to our room (204), then the magic happened! It was very modern and honestly beautiful — they had done a great job with lightening &!unique interior!! (And I’ve stayed at over 40 hotels in Sri Lanka and at least 5 of them are in negombo). Room is very cozy, yet spacious — have all the amenities & as they have round-pin plug points, make sure to request for a multiple—if ur charger points are square or universal.

Unfortunately we did not ate at the hotel, therefore I cannot comment on the food.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. I loved the pool—specially with its ambience 😊 as we went on off-season period, the stay totally worth and value for money.

We used their couple package for the day. Package includes welcome drink, use of pool, day use room, 2 glasses of house wine and a 2-course lunch which we thought was worth the money we paid. Staff are friendly. Really nice rooms. Pool was good. Since we was there on a mid week there was no crowd so we had the pool to ourselves. Its a cosy little hotel. One wired thing we noticed was the high chair for kids - which was wayyyy taller than their dining table and looked more like a life guard chair rather than a high chair. They need to invest on at least one good high chair if they are to accomodate kids in future and we were suprised no one had noticed it as we felt the design was for sure done by someone who didn't have a kid :)
Overall we had a very good time and we thought it was worth the money we paid. Recommend for travellers looking for a days getaway.

This is one of the best properties I have stayed. Felt homely & safe from the moment we stepped in to the place. The hospitality of the service staff was over our expectations. The staff always made sure that we have a comfortable stay and have whatever we require whenever we made a request. Mr Sunil Fernando’s excellent customer service and the way he treated us was very delightful. The way he spoke confirmed he is a pioneer in the industry. The location is calm and quiet and excellent place for a getaway.
Thank you very much Mr Sunil & the staff for making our weekend a memorable one. Highly recommended place.

Me and my friend stayed here not long after the Easter bombings, while the country as a whole was a little tense the staff at this hotel could not have been any better at putting us at ease. After a long international flight and arriving hours before check in the staff very kindly let us check in early which was very much appreciated. We stayed and had dinner in the hotel which was delicious and chatted with Mr Sunil who was very pleasant and ensured we were enjoying our very limited time in Sri Lanka. The hotel was lovely and rooms were clean would highly recommend stay.

We stayed two nights. This is a small boutique hotel in close proximity to the beach....but no beach views. Service was excellent, breakfasts were filling and the pool is the place to be in the afternoons.
In its prime it would have been a top 4 star hotel but sadly maintenance is not up to scratch with rotting boards around the pool and missing tiles there as well.
I hope they find the money to bring back its glory days.

Stayed here on the final night of our journey in Sri Lanka. It is conveniently located close to shops, restaurants and the beach. The rooms are comfortable, clean and air conditioned. Staff were professional and attentive. Private taxi service to the airport was much appreciated. Pool was a lovely way to cool off in the heat despite a few missing tiles.

I had a very good experince with my stay at Pledge 3. Stayed two nights, before starting my tour around Sri Lanka. Staf is very service minded, and positive.

They picked me up at the airport, free of charge. No problem.

My first meal in Sri Lanka was at Pledge 3, and I wasn't disapointed. So good :-) Since I can't eat gluten, the breakfast menu didn't really cut it for me. But they were flexible in regards to adjusting the content, and subsequently the price. Nice with the flexibility.

The room was nice, cleaned daily, and complementary water every day.

The hotel is located just of the busy street, which is nice when you really just wanna sleep.
