The Alexis's Guest House

De gastvriendelijkheid van de hosts

De locatie, best een afgelegen donkere plek. Niet de meest chille plek als vrouw alleen

We booked this place for 2 nights when we first arrived in Sri Lanka, before making our way somewhere else. The room was clean, the AC was working well, and the bathroom was perfectly fine. Everything looked just like in the photos. It’s a lovely family-run place. Alexis was very helpful and organised an airport transfer for us. He was also always contactable whenever we needed anything and patiently answered all my questions.

One small downside: the hostel is located right next to a cemetery, which we didn’t realise when booking as I hadn’t checked the location properly. It was a little spooky! 😄

Had an excellent stay

Just don’t sty here. A complete misrepresentation of the property. It’s squalid. We left before unpacking.

Host is really responsible and location is very good. This is excellent low budget room for one night after or before the flights, because it’s only 20 minutes away from airport.

There was a lot of noise during the night, from the animals and from the neighbors. The hygiene of the apartment was not at an enviable level. Also, the boiler did not work at all, so we had no hot water.

Large room. Ac + roof fan. Nice & kind staff. Very clean. Good location. Any questions I asked i got an answer

Everything was good

The Guesthouse is perfectly located: close to the beach and mainstreet, but far away enough from the traffic to offer a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The Alexi's Family is extremely (!) nice and helpful. They try to cater everything to your needs and help you with planning your tour across the country, airport transfers, restaurant recommendations and everything else you might need. It was the perfect place to arrive after a long flight and I'll surely come back for my last night in Sri Lanka as well.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Alexis is a really nice host and helped us with our journey and all our questions! The room was really nice and had everything you needed. It’s a quick walk to the ocean and there’s a really nice church nearby

Great guesthouse in a good location. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. The staff is VERY helpful, they can basically arrange anything you need. They helped me organize the rest of my trip in Sri Lanka. Highly recommended. I’ll be back on the night before my flight for sure!!

Great, affordable room with good working ac. Hosts were really friendly and helped me with every question I had.

Had a wonderful stay at Alexis Guest House! Clean rooms, friendly staff, and a very relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful stay.

Alexis is echt een geweldige gastheer! Via hem hebben wij een tuk tuk geregeld en rijden we Sri Lanka rond! Daarnaast zijn de ontbijtjes heerlijk en de kamers zeer comfortabel

We stayed at Alexis’s Guest House twice, it was the start and the end of our Sri Lanka trip. The whole family is very friendly, hospitable and helpful with everything. We had the transportation from and to the airport and rented a TukTuk here as well, which was amazing and we had zero issues. Definitely recommend!

The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. Alexis is super friendly and will give advice on local activities or places.

I took the 2.5 hour sunset "boat safari". I knew I was paying a premium for the convenience of booking it through the guest house but I didn't realize it was 25% more than what you could get from a travel agent in town. The tour ended 45 minutes early for no apparent reason and no explanation afterwards.

Die Gastgeber waren besonders freundlich und hilfsbereit!

The stay by Alexis Guest House was a perfect welcoming for my Sri Lanka Trip, the owner is really gentle and help you with everything you need. I did a citytour with a tuktuk and it was totally worth it. The room with the AC is really good and the room is perfectly fine. And if you want to try Sri Lanka Breakfast, he serves you a really good dish. Thanks for the nice stay 🙏

Pulizia della struttura camera ampia terrazzo fuori la struttura vicinanza al mare

Un po’ lontano a piedi dai ristoranti

Stayed 1 night and was very good, comfortable clean rooms and a hot shower...would recommend for a short stay

Nothing to dislike

Especialment agraida amb l'Alexis, la seva dona i el seu fill, encantadors! Gracies

Niente ….ho sicuramente visto di meglio

Luogo piuttosto squallido vista cimitero e non è sul mare …..niente finestre odore di chiuso pulizia approssimativa ragazzo molto disponibile ma da migliorare la struttura sicuramente….

Quiet and nice location. Staff were nice, was a shame we didn't stay longer

A few bugs in the bathroom

Absolut fantastischer Aufenthalt im The Alexis’s Guest House! Die Lage ist unschlagbar – nur 200 Meter zum traumhaften Wellaweediya Beach, und super nah am Flughafen (ca. 8 km) Die Zimmer sind makellos sauber, mit Ventilator, Doppelbett und privatem Bad, geteiltes Wohnzimmer mit essbereich und Küche, schöne sitzmöglichkeiten draussen und Möglichkeit seine Wäsche aufzuhängen, inklusive WLAN überall. Alexis ist unglaublich hilfsbereit und flexibel! Perfekt für Reisende: Fahrradverleih, Bootstouren, Flughafentransfer und tolle Restaurants in der Nähe. Wenn ich wieder nach Sri Lanka komme, komme ich definitiv wieder!

Miła obsługa i sąsiedztwo bardzo ciche i spokojne ;) (cmentarz) było to ciekawe doświadczenie

Zimna woda

Sauberes, großes Zimmer mit AC oder Deckenventilator und bequemen Bett, vor dem Zimmer gibts einen Wasserkocher und einen Kühlschrank, also alles da was man braucht. Das Beste an der Unterkunft ist jedoch Alexi Junior ;) Er war super hilfreich in unserer Reiseplanung und hat uns spontan ein günstiges Miet-TukTuk für mehrere Wochen organisiert, obwohl alle Vermietungen eigentlich ausgebucht waren. Transport von und zum Flughafen macht er auch und noch vieles mehr, alles auch zu super Preisen. Dickes Danke!

The owner is really nice. He is always available by whatsapp and onsite to answer any questions and was nice enough to store our winter coars at the hotel for weeks while I traveled around Sri Lanka. Thank you! Hotel was very affordable and good value for the money

Familia muy simpática y hospitalaria. Sitio tranquilo al principio de Lewis place. A solo cinco minutos de la playa y de los bares y restaurantes. Perfecto para tú llegada o tú salida

Great location. The place is really clean. And the whole family is super friendly. Always making sure you got everything you need. They live in the house next door. Big thanks to dad ! The son is really helpful if you need travel plan arrangements. I had a great stay and will be back. Isthuthi🙏

The staff and room are clean and in good condition

Nil

Quiet, over looked a cemetery, all good even had chickens foraging. Good location for early morning trip to airport using PickMe. Fisherman's beach very close, supermarkets, inexpensive restaurants and bakeries nearby.

Nothing, it Ticked all the boxes.

Super quiet place for stay Center of Negombo

Excellent emplacement, personnel attentionné, très propre, confortable Beaucoup de restaurants à proximité

Pas d'eau chaude mais cela n'est pas vraiment nécessaire vu les températures

It was just in front of the public cemetery. A bit weird but ok

El señor que nos atendio era amable y respectuoso.

El sitio era un poco justo. Estaba pegado al cementerio. La habitacion era justa de limpieza y sabanas igual. El señor que nos atendio amable pero apenas hablaba nada.

Super nice people with an amazing family business. The boat tour was really good!

Didnt realize there would be nog ac so the room was really hot at night and the pillows were really thick and hard.

Very comfortable stay, clean space.

Bit far from restaurants.

A good place .I would recommend any person this place to stay. And the staff was very friendly with us .They help us in very moments i ask from them

Nothing was there like that

Hospitality of the property owners

Very helpfull and kind staff. Good service. Nice and clean accomodations. Highly recommendable place

Super clean rooms, also I arrived late and they were great with messaging and Alexis was there to take me to my room and set up a time for breakfast in the morning

We only stayed here one night but it was perfect transition from the airport to the start of our journey in Sri Lanka. We met the mum and son and both were super lovely and very helpful. The room was night and good location

This is the second time at Alexis's Guest House, is a place where the owner make you feel at home, the room is clean, no noise at night and near the airport. The family provide a good and tasty breakfast and dinner. Alex arranged my tuk tuk night transfer to airport. Thank you 🪷

The host was so friendly and welcoming! The room was very clean and in a good location. Very good value for money.

Property can be a little tricky to find. No A/C can be hard in the hot climate but understandable for the price.

The host is very warm and friendly. Bed was comfortable, there was a fridge and kettle, cups, plate and cutlery available to use. Location is good and quiet, away from main road but still close to everything. They offer pick ups and tours.

It wasn’t very clean, there was lot of dust and cobwebs everywhere. A very easy fix. Also no screen in windows made it hard to open the windows without getting insects and mosquitoes in.

Alexis was kind and helpful, the breakfast was really good. I appreciate the sea and sunset close to the guest house. I slept very well 🙂

*a nice place which is close to the town and the beach *very friendly and helpful staff

This was my second time at the the alexis's guest house, and it was just as fantastic! The spotless, spacious rooms and relaxing ambiance were perfect after a busy day. The friendly staff made me feel welcome, and the peaceful surroundings added to the experience. Highly recommend for a quiet, refreshing getaway!

Very nice Family! The best Place to stay after arrival of before departure… close to the airport… good was brilliant! Daddy and mum wäre so Sweet! I would come 100% again

Just one tip - Air conditioning

We had a fantastic stay at The Alexis Guesthouse! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed. The airport shuttle service worked perfectly, even though we arrived at two different times. The hosts were incredibly friendly and provided us with great local tips that made our stay even better. The food was absolutely delicious, and the guesthouse is in a very central location. Considering the price and quality, it’s definitely a top choice. Highly recommended!

I loved my stay at alexis's guest house. Everything was perfect, especially the location near the beach. In addition, the bedding was excellent. I recommend 100%

nothing

Clean, friendly, flexible

No mosquito net

Had a fantastic one-night stay! The room was clean, cozy, and the check-in was smooth. Highly recommend!

Best price-performance ratio. It is close to the beach. The accommodation is very clean. You can sit on the veranda, it’s fresher with some wind. The room has a fan. The hosts and their son are very friendly and welcoming. For two nights it was a perfect stay.

We only stayed one night but the customer service and welcoming we got was amazing. They are very kind and honest people and we would definitely recommend a stay here. It is a good location

After a long flight, it’s such a relief to arrive here. The beds are comfortable, and the shower is fantastic. We had a delicious local breakfast, definitely worth trying! The local lunch was also amazing, big compliments to his mom for the tasty food! The host is incredibly friendly and truly helps with everything. He also gives plenty of tips for planning the rest of your trip. A great place to stay!

It was perfect for what I needed, a private room to recuperate at an affordable rate!

Outstanding across the board. The room and bathroom was spacious, clean and comfortable. And quiet! Excellent strong Wifi, which I never experienced anywhere else in Sri Lanka. They organized my pickup from the train station, and got me to the airport on time for my flight. As well as getting breakfast in for me in the morning. Overall, it was a fantastic experience which really eased my journey for my last day in Sri Lanka. I really appreciate the care the team puts into taking care of their guests.

No notes. It was outstanding.

Very good location near Negombo main sea road with shops, hotels,restaurants,churches,temples. Close to Negombo beach, Fish Market,Fruit and Vegetable Markets. Easy and fast trip to railway station or Colombo airport by tuk tuk. Excellent for few overnights after or before arrival/departure to/from Sri Lanka. Alexis's Guesthouse is very relaxing,modern,clean ,with separate,private access for guests. Rooms and private toilets are very nice. Big refrigerator,electric kettle,table in common area can be used in case of self cattering. Very nice and helpful hosts. Good price !!!

The room is as shown in the pictures. The cleaning is good. The owner was really helpful and flexible. I can recommend it!

Family is very nice and helpful. Great place to explore Negombo.

Beautiful view ;) amazingly friendly service, yummy breakfast

Everything was great

Very clean and friendly staff :)

That there’s a cementery next to it, but it was fine really

Great location and Alexis was super helpful and friendly

We stayed here after a late flight into Colombo and accommodation is a short drive away. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable, with hot water in the showers. It is located close to the water and a short walk to nearby shops and restaurants. The owners were very helpful and kind. Overall for the price, it was a decent stay.

There were no mosquito nets and due to wet floors in the bathroom there were quite a few bugs and mosquitos in the room.

What I liked the most is the attention of the family to facilitate a good stay. I had a tuktuk ready at 4 in the morning to take me to the airport. It is in the middle between the city and the best beaches that you can walk to. The room is very large with a ceiling fan and very clean. For one night it is a good place because it is close to the airport.

There was no hot water. Surprised me that it is in front of the cemetery, something that during the trip the homestays were surrounded by nature but the "ghosts" didn't come to the room.

Friendly & supportive owner & staff 😃 We had a great leisure time Highly recommend

Everything about this place was great. Location, confort, cleanliness. The hosting family is so friendly and helpful and they accomodated all my needs and requests. I would definitely come again. Highly recommend!!

Nice place, really clean. The owners are really nice and helpful.

A little bit more pressure in the shower would be nice

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The rooms were spotless and beautifully maintained. You could immediately notice the attention to detail in the cleanliness—everything felt fresh and inviting. The pleasant aroma in the rooms was a wonderful touch, making it feel like a true retreat. What truly stood out was the host. They were not only incredibly welcoming but also highly responsible, ensuring every need was promptly addressed. Their genuine care for guests’ comfort made the experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a place that combines comfort, cleanliness, and exceptional service, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

The property was close to the bus station and 20 minutes away from the airport plus 5 minutes from the beach. The staff are super friendly and organised my transfer and dinner for me so I was all set for the flight early the next day. They also went above and beyond for me to ensure I was awake for my transfer/flight knowing I was a heavy sleeper and this was at 4am! The beds are comfortable and rooms very clean, overall a great experience and so glad I choose to stay here, would 10/10 recommend! Very good value for money and the hospitality is some the best I have ever received :)

I had an exceptional stay at the guest house! The rooms were spotless, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The lighting and ambiance created a calm and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ensuring I felt welcome and comfortable. The serene surroundings and attention to detail made it a truly enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this guest house to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable stay!"
