Hospitality is top notch :)
Warm welcome - thanks for that. We had a booked breakfast that we couldn't take (check out at 4am). So Ansalam welcomed us with a big afternoon snack on arrival. It was great :). The price-quality ratio is suitable in any case!
We were only in the hotel for a few hours, so I can't say anything. What I didn't like was that the window of the room overlooks a balcony/corridor where people walk. Anyone who absolutely relies on privacy and stays there longer should know this.

Highly recommended!
The owner was really incredibly helpful and nice. He kept a close eye on everything and wanted you to have a good time. And really very good beds.

Effective and highly visible before our return
The managers are very friendly and efficient: unusual breakfast, organized transport to the airport. They are very attentive and willing to do their best to make our stay as pleasant as possible.

Closeness of the sea
The owner does not live in a hotel. Sometimes I had to look for him for a long time.

The only disappointment
The hotel is well located.
The hotel is infested with mosquitoes. I have broken my record for killing mosquitoes. Fortunately, there is a mosquito net. The staff are just polite. It is very strange to see the tuk-tuk driver more involved in our arrival than the receptionist. It is a pity that the boss could only be met in the evening, he is much friendlier. The wifi didn't work, but this is not necessarily the hotel's fault.

Near the airport
Spacious and comfortable room with everything you need and a fully equipped bathroom. The owner is very nice and friendly. The apartments are located very close to the main street with all kinds of restaurants and shops. They also offer an airport shuttle service at a great price.

Very good
For 16 euros there is a double room with air conditioning and a room with a sink, everything is perfect. In addition to 200 meters, tuk-tuk can be rented.

Good reception, close to the airport. On the last day, the manager offered us an air conditioner. Very large rooms with refrigerator.

Well located in Negombo
The location is perfect. A few steps from the main street and therefore restaurants, ATMs ... The beach is within walking distance. For us, Negombo was just a springboard, so it was perfect for two nights. The owner allowed us to leave our tuk-tuk indoors overnight. Good value for money.
The rooms are damp.

Ok except paying more than booking
The location is close to the waterfront and restaurants. It was quite clean and comfortable.
We had to pay a little more than the price shown in our booking. The staff didn't want to hear anything and literally: it is the owner who decides whether to accept the price or go somewhere. The boss who supposedly doesn't have a phone to contact him.

Very good
The host who greeted us was just lovely! Very nice, a lot of humor, helped with some problems ... Very rich breakfast. That was great.
Only the sink, which was not very clean, but everything else was ok.

Pleasant
It takes about 10 minutes to get to the beach
The owner tried to cheat with the cost of the room (instead of 3200 rupees he asked for 3800), apparently hoping that I would not notice. This spoiled the impression of this place

Breakfast is good, near the ocean, many restaurants, the airport took 20 minutes to get there. A transfer to the airport was requested for 2000 rupees, via a yuber taxi -750 rupees.
The kettle in one of the rooms did not work, towels with a hole. Instant coffee for breakfast

Perfect for our last night in Sri Lanka. Very close to the airport while being in the lively and pleasant Negombo area. Excellent value for money, and most importantly - a very pleasant and helpful owner!
The Rs 500 breakfast isn't that big ...

We spent our last night in Sri Lanka at this charming guesthouse. Spacious room, comfortable bed, air conditioning, hot water. Very welcoming and friendly host. We had a pick up at the airport and at 10:00 pm he kindly allowed us to leave our bags for the day and shower again before leaving in the evening.

Nice stay, but air conditioning for review !!!
Friendly welcome, good linens and good breakfast with fruit :-)
It would be nice to check the batteries in the A / C control box: I couldn't adjust it and without a blanket I would be cold all night :-(

The owner is the one who makes you feel like a perfect friend. There must be a lot of people staying for a long time and staying like home.

Can do much better at the asking price
The size of the room.
Very focused on money. Unsatisfactory condition of the bathroom. The hotel yard is completely flooded when it rains.
