In the end, pretty good
Helpful staff, close to the beach, close to the airport
7.3
Well... I didn't actually stay at the Blue Horizon. My plane got in late, and when I arrived they told me there was some problem with the room, but they'd already booked me in just down the street. I was a bit suspicious at first, but it turned out they'd got me a great room (Red Rose Hotel) and everything was fine.

Basic, but served it's purpose as an airport hotel
Nice gardens, close to airport, helpful & friendly staff

Airport pick up was very smooth _ they waited longer due to my delayed flight and then accompanied me around all the Telco booths at arrivals whilst I chose which SIM card to buy.
I stayed in room 5 which overlooks the inner staircase _ fine for an airport hotel. there were two shower heads, neither of which had good water pressure, but put together (and once I figured out the temperature) finally made a reasonable shower.
Nice staff who let me take breakfast in the garden, and they always offered me tea or coffee, even late at night.
plus two big bottles of bottled water.
Overall fine for place to stay near the airport after a late arrival in Colombo.

I arrived late in the evening from the airport and was very happy with my greeting here. The staff were very friendly, the wifi is fast, and the breakfast is good and filling. The manager helped me book a train ticket to Kandy on his phone, and when I left he flagged down my tuk-tuk to hand me yet another free bottle of water for the ride to the train station. Great service.

Great Place three minutes from the beach
Clean nice rooms, great staff

This is a wonderful small guest house with good size rooms, updated furniture and new bathrooms. Staff are very helpful and nice. I arrived very early (6:30am) the day I was to check in and I only had to wait an hour which included giving me so breakfast on the house before showing me to my just cleaned room. Breakfast is delicious and hearty. Coffee and Tea is available all day. A nice touch. I felt very safe and secure here.
Hotel Feature Tip:
Head out the backdoor and down the sand lane and you will hit the main road - just across is the beach. Saves you a few minutes by going out the front door and around.

Comfortable and Clean
Good staff, clean room, and close to the airport
9.7
Although I arrived at this house in midnight(about one o'clock a.m.), they welcomed me.
The room is good, clean and comfortable with AC and hot shower.
The staff took me to the bus station and told me which bus I should have taken (Rs.250).

everything was as good as possible

I really enjoyed my stay at Blue Horizon. So much so I have booked my room for my return in 2 weeks. and so did my friends who stayed somewhere else. The staff were wonderful,as well as helpful with local tips and directions, and the spacious spotless, colorful room and its features were exactly what I expected, wanted and needed. The front rooms are a bit noisy sometimes from road noise(not a main road ) but the back rooms are not. The owner has told me he will put in better glass to sound proof the front rooms. I look most forward to my return there. and the breakfast in the very pleasant lobby was excellent.!!
Hotel Feature Tip:
Stay there!

a friendly hotel. the room was about what one would expect at the price, hot water in the shower, clear sheets on the bed, but fairly basic furniture and fittings.

If you find yourself needing to stay at Negombo then this place offers great value - the beach at Negombo is no attraction for me, I simply needed a one night stop close to the airport. Large comfortable room, free wifi in room, generous breakfast, and even a departing Christmas gift from the manager.

Good service. Not a 5 star resort or hotel. But desent room, clean room, toilet , bedrooms. Id definatly stay there if i go again. The owner took his time to explain alll the busses and their routes. He even exchanged my dollars at the same rate as outside.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
5 mins walk to the beach and restaurents.
