Very good service And they allowed me to early check in
I would recommend this hotel. The owner was so helpful.
We arrived late at 11 PM, and both the host and staff were waiting at the entrance to welcome us—such a relief after a long journey! They patiently showed us around, and when I had a specific request, they kindly arranged a room change without hesitation. Our new room on the 3rd floor was fantastic: spacious, spotlessly clean, and featuring a well-equipped kitchen with a dining table and a lovely little balcony. The AC and hot water worked perfectly, and the bed was incredibly comfortable.
Nothing to complain
I like literally everything from the first moment.The owner himself picked me up at the airport at midnight and made sure I have got everything I need. The room was spacious, clean and fully equipped.
I cannot think of anything.
Velka priestranna izba, mily personal, aj ked je hotel pri hlavnej ceste, izba bola ticha
Wir waren nur eine Nacht da und hatten ein riesiges Apartment. Es war alles da was man braucht und mit Liebe eingerichtet. Das Personal war auch extrem freundlich.
This place had the touch of it's hosts design all over the place. We loved the detail and care he put into every space. Be it the generous common space inbetween apartments, be it the lovely living room with the fully fitted kitchen and dining space that left us wanting, be it the beautiful terrace, with its lush greenery. The bedroom felt like a suite and our host was the most kind and caring person we could have wished for. The stays location was also very accessible, especially coming from the airport. We can wholeheartedly recommend it.
I had a really comfortable stay at Cinnamon Tan, especially after a very long delay coming from Indonesia. Nishantha couldn’t be more accommodating and was very understanding after I missed my first night. Communication was great and can highly recommend using their airport service as well.

Very clean and spacious room with good airconditioning. Kind personnel, would recommend!
The hotel accommodated us at the last minute , was extremely clean, convenient and we got a lovely nights sleep. Would absolutely recommend. The owner was amazing :)
Perfect
Mr. Nishantha was so helpful. Our flight was delayed and he waited up for us to arrive to make sure we checked in safely. He helped us arrange bus tickets for the next morning and even drove us to the bus office. Location is close to the airport so it's perfect if you're only staying a night after arriving. The street was super noisy with traffic but we never heard it from our room. We can definitely recommend!
The hotel is super clean and the staff is very friendly and welcoming!
Nothing really
Het was een fijne accommodatie met eet gelegenheid, koffie bar, busstop en supermarkt op 5 minuten lopen. Strand op half uur. De kamer en het bed waren erg fijn. Het aller fijnst was de eigenaar die altijd voor ons klaar stond!
Everything was great!
The owner was really nice! He helped me a lot. When I arrived at the airport and he picked me up, I asked if could also bring some friend of mine to her hostel, which he did without hesitation. Also, there is a massive gym next to the hostel which is only 1000 roupies and quite good. Generally, Nishanta was such a nice host, which made my arrival in Sri Lanka very easy:)
Location is a bit to close to the big street.
The location is close to the AirPort, we arrived very late and our host kindly picked us up from the airport (he also gave us very clear instructions where to meet as well). The service was incredible- we got given local restaurant recommendations, all staff were very friendly and welcoming. The facilities are good as well , the aircon is brilliant. Loved our stay here - thank you for having us !
The host was so helpful! Picked us up from the airport! Very comfortable,Very clean, very affordable, great location!
I was of the impression that breakfast was available. It was not.
The place is being renovated. If you go into the kitchen area which is located as part of the room, there are windows floor to ceiling which are not covered by curtains so the kitchen heats up. Also there was a workman in the next room who I could see and he would be able to see me. Did not feel private.
It was very comfortable, the owner was very receptive.
The kitchen and living room area was not with air conditioner. So we rarely use that area because of the heat.
Comfy rooms and so quiet - great nights sleep after a long plane journey!! Very friendly service!
- Clean - No mosquitoes - strong A/C - lots of amenities
The hotel room was spacious and clean, and it was about a 15-minute walk to the beach. The staff did a great job—when we mentioned there was no tea, one of the employees went to the city during a storm just to get some for us. He also helped us arrange transportation to the airport at night, which was really appreciated. The only downside was that we received a different room than the one we had booked on Booking.com, but since we were only staying for a few hours at night before our flight, we decided not to change it.
Very comfortable stay in negombo! Host is lovely and picked me up from a very late flight arrival (1am!) and very helpful with local recommendations. Highly recommend!
A nice, clean, new place at a good location with a great price to performance ratio. Very kind and welcoming owner.
Clean air conditioning

Clean & good location
All good
Warm hospitality and friendly people
Location accessible to food, and other usual activities
The room was clean, there was a lot of space, and the host was really gentle. There is a train that passes by near the accommodation and finishes at 22:30 or so. For us it was not a problem. We highly recommend it.
Location is central, room is comfortable and shower very spacious. But the host is something apart: he personally took care of my airport transfer and of next day excursion, keeping my updated all the way long; what a service! Never had experienced something like this before!
It was just for only 2 nights! I could have stayed one month !
Very nice host. Picked us up from the airport without any problem. Told us some tips and tricks on the way to the hotel and was very interested in our trip we were going to make. He started the hotel about a year and a half ago, he said. As a result, not everything is perfect in terms of entrance and reception, but we had no problems with this. With his WhatsApp number we could always reach him and ask anything we needed. Rooms were already completely finished, neat and clean. Airconditioning was a pro as well as the fridge. The room we were in was a bit noisy and we could hear the street, but for us no problem. Location was great, 25 minutes walk to both fish market and temple and a supermarket a few minutes walk away. Great to spend our first night.
We were very impressed with this hotel. We stayed for one night before heading to the airport. The host was very friendly and responsive to messages and kindly gave us a late checkout. The air-conditioning was on as we arrived, which was a nice touch. The room was huge with good lighting and nice furnishings. The shower had good water pressure and was hot. Altogether, it was a very comfortable stay. The room was bright in the morning as one glazed window did not have a blind, a blind here would make a huge difference. The pillows were very firm and thick which we found a little uncomfortable. The location is good for the airport but does require a short tuk tuk to go to the nice restaurants etc. The host said they are renovating the entrance and making a rooftop restaurant which will be a big addition.
Excellent property. Clean & well located with eateries and supermarkets at walking distances.
Super friendly staff
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cinnamon Tan Boutique Hotel and would highly recommend staying here. Very good airconditioning, a comfortable big bed, and everything is very clean. On top of that, the host is incredibly friendly and made sure we had a great stay :)
Clean and nicely decorated. Comfortable furnishings. Very pleasant and cosy atmosphere.
Nothing
Very clean and value for money. Good location to go out and about
No lift so our room was on 2nd floor so luggages can be issue but the manager did carry them
Amazing boutique Hotel-Apartment. Very clean! Has everything you need for comfortabl stay! Has kitchen with all necessary things to cook 🍳. Location 15 min to the airport. Available a lot of restaurants around. Price value 👌 💯.
Nothing to say.
Very nice small hotel, the whole hotel is very clean and tidy! Every corner is spotless, the rooms have air conditioning and mineral water, and there is hot water for bathing. The landlord received us very politely and told us that there were supermarkets and cafes nearby, where we could buy affordable food and supplies. In short, we liked the hotel very much.
Very lovely and welcoming owner with a great personality. Very clean. Great location and very close to the airport. Would recommend.
Nishantha went out of his way to ensure our comfort and was very helpful.

Very friendly and helpful host, we could check in early, the room was large and clean
The hotel is close to the busy road
Room was very comfortable, well furnished, great AC. The hotel owner was very kind and helpful, also really responsive to messages.
I think it should mention in the description that the ground floor of the hotel is currently a building site and there is no reception. I was surprised when I arrived and was a little concerned, but the room was lovely and I would return here again. I just think it would be good to warn guests so they know what to expect.
Not applicable
The owner is a very nice gentleman. The hotel was nice and communal areas clean and cozy. It was close to shops and local restaurants. It was easy to get taxis or tuk-tuks. Overall nice and private atmosphere.
We stayed for 1 night before our flight. Nishantha was a great host, he was there to welcome us when we arrived, see us off when we departed, gave us local recommendations for dinner and accommodated a later check out as much as he could for us which we really appreciated. The room was extremely clean and spacious. Really good AC and comfy bed! Just what we needed.
Nothing!
Really modern and beautiful accommodation. We only stayed for a night before a flight and was very comfortable, spacious and just what we needed. The owner was there to greet us when we arrived and departed and recommend local restaurants.
Perfect location and reasonable price. Our host was friendly and helpful.
The aircon was a little cold.
the owner was really friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and had all required (a good AC included). Bed was really comfortable.
The host was super accommodating and very welcome. The room was clean and very comfortable.
Nothing
The hosts were very gracious and the property was clean. The bed was relatively comfortable and the room was spacious. Air-conditioning was good.
The hotel is located on the side of a highway and has a train run by it very loudly every 30 minutes from 5:30 am until late at night which caused the room shakes. Facilities are quite basic and the hot water did not really work. There isn’t really any parking if you come with a car. Rooms also smelt quite funny. No elevator, but the Host did help with the bags.
Room very well cleaned and located close to the airport.
No window and noises from the street 😞 it’s ok for 1 night stay only. Not possible to pay by card. Cash only…
The property was super new and clean and we really liked it. Is all modern and has mosquito nets on the window which is quite rare to find. The owner was super welcoming and nice to us. He allowed us a early check in (which was definitively appreciated since we arrived after a 20h flight) and also has helped us with the bus tickets for our way to Galle and dive us to the station at 6 am to make sure we could catch the bus on time. Highly recommended stay.
Nothing
The room is a good size, super clean and tidy. AC worked well and having a fridge in the room was very useful. Nishantha and Dominic were both very hospitable, friendly and helpful, providing recommendations and directions. They also allowed me to keep my luggage in the morning before heading to the airport.
The walls are incredibly thin, I used earplugs at night as the noise from the hallway and the road are enough to keep you awake.
We had a great stay at the Cinnamon Tan Boutique Hotel. They were very helpful from the moment we booked to our check out, and arranged to take us to the airport. The staff were very attentive and made sure we were well looked after and had everything we needed. The room was really spacious, clean and comfy and provided a lovely place to stay on our last night in Sri Lanka. We would definitely recommend staying here.
Nishantha is the best! Super helpful and lovely throughout our stay even drove us to the airport on a public holiday. Def recommend the Srilankan breakfast his wife makes, delicious! Lovely clean room, easy walk to beach,shops,cafe. Would definitely recommend staying here, best wishes to our lovely hosts.
Wow, what a place!! And a real hidden gem. It was a shame we couldn’t stay here for longer as we were only in Negombo to catch our flight the next morning. We had basically an entire apartment to ourselves! The facilities here were amazing and the room was very comfortable with working air con. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. If you are reading this review, trust me, just book this place. Even if it’s a little outside your budget, do it. You won’t regret it!!
Only negative was we couldn’t stay longer!!
