The two bedroomed apartment was spacious and ideal for our family of four. We arrived from the airport late and had to call a number for someone to give us our keys but he was there within 5 mins. The pool was lovely and we enjoyed a morning swim before departing on our travels. Would recommend.

Amazing location, friendly people and lovely pool.

We'd recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Negombo. It's in a perfect location for exploring and had a great pool which was an added bonus.

The staff were so friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious.

We could walk into Negombo to the local restaurants and cafes and it was a perfect start to our holiday.

The rooms were well kept and clean!

Thank you!

You get what you pay for

For the price it was nice enough. We only stayed one night because our flight landed late. And for that, it was great. But I wouldn’t stay longer. The bed was soft, but the pillows were not. We had a small IKEA throw as our blanket. The tv had 3 channels none in English. But the breakfast was nice, eggs & toast.

Convenient for airport.

Booked this as close to airport and included in our flight price to Colombo. Lovely clean hotel, pick up from airport for 2000 rupees (£10 ish) they also looked after our bag while we travelled to Jaffna for a few days. We then stayed another 2 nights. Staff friendly. You Need to pre order breakfast as we tried on the morning and not available? Pool great after a busy day.

Very nice share apartment .

Lovely stay however we did not realise it was a share accomodation. We had our own room and bathroom , both very nice, and a share kitchen lounge laundry . The share area was only with one other room so it was not a problem just a surprise to us . The units are new and very nice as is the pool area. It is a bit of a walk to the supermarket , about 30 min walk,
The beach about a 15 min walk and many cafes and restaurants about 15 to 20 mins . As we only stayed one night it was a bit hard to say if we really liked the area. The hotel was definitely good value and very nice as were the staff.

We were surprised to find a fully equipped kitchen and living room attached.
Walk to everywhere, great place to come after or before your long flight. We stayed 2 nights and will definitely recommend Christima residence to anyone.

Nice hotel, nice pool. Big rooms.

Large rooms, if you have kids and are after a two bedroom apartment this place is a good stop for your first night in Sri Lanka.

Nice sized pool, walking distance to the beach and some restaurants. No problem with noise other than a rooster next door that thought dawn was a couple of hours earlier than it was. Ear plugs wouldn't have gone astray.

Hotel is being expanded, but we didn't gear any construction noise.

Lovely clean spot for a stay close to the airport.

Value for money

We only stayed for one night between arriving in Colombo and heading inland, but we really felt we got incredible value for money here. A nice two bedroom with kitchen (which we never had time to use) opening to a lovely pool, just minutes walk from both the beach and loads of restaurants. We'd clearly stay here again, and possibly for longer.

A homey feel

This is a family run hotel and everyone put in a lot of effort to make our stay memorable. The rooms are apartment style which is great if you want to cook on your own and there are many shops and restaurants within a 5 minute walk and the beach is very close too. The pool is great and there are stunning views out of the balconies. I would recommend this spot to anyone.

Bra hotell kort vei fra flyplassen og sentralt i negombo.
Hadde booket rom med 2 soverom. Var som å komme inn i en leilighet, da det var både stor stue med kjøkken og begge soverommene hadde egne bad.

Fint basseng og hage, var som å bo en privat villa.

Koseligt vertskap som gjorde oppholdet bra for oss.

Stort pluss for kjøleskap med fryser, og gå avstand til resturanter og stranden.

Kommer gjerne igjen.

Trevligt och fräscht boende med egen terrass och fräsch gemensam pool. Ingen information när man kom om att man betalade för frukost som man egentligen inte ville ha. 3 rostade mackor med lite smör, marmelad och ett stekt ägg. Drygt 50 sek/dag och person. Ingen städning under de 4 dagarna vi var där. Vatten och toalettpapper fick man fråga efter. Transporten dom vi hade bokat via hotellet fanns inte kvar när vi kom ut från flygplatsen. Fick därför köpslå med en annan.

Wir hatten das Zimmer für unsere letzte Nacht in Sri Lanka. Das Hotel liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße relativ zentral in Negombo. Fußläufig sind viele Restaurants und ein Wine-Store erreichbar. Das Zimmer war super sauber. Die Klima-Anlage hat funktioniert und war sehr leise, es gab einen Safe und warmes Wasser in der Dusche (in Sri Lanka nicht unbedingt normal). Es gab einen großen Aufenthaltsraum (für mehrere Zimmer) mit Kochgelegenheit, Kühlschrank, Fernseher + Couch. Der Pool war der Hammer - groß, sauber inkl. Liegen mit Auflagen und Handtüchern. Das Hotel hat ein günstiges TukTuk zum Airport organisiert (morgens um 01:30) alles hat perfekt geklappt Hotel ist für unseren nächsten Sri Lanka Urlaub definitiv wieder eingeplant Sehr nettes Personal!

Fonctionnel et bien placé

Excellent rapport qualité prix pour cet hotel qui offre un cadre apaisant dans une ville bruyante. Bien placé, très proche du front de mer, rejoindre le centre ville a pieds est possible, mais un coup de tuk-tuk sera bien plus rapide. L'accueil de Fernando est charmant. Quoique vous vouliez faire sur l'île, demandez lui, il peut vous l'organiser avec sérieux. Les appartements sont très spacieux et fonctionnels. Si vous réservez une chambre vous partagerez la cuisine et le salon avec d'autres locataires. La salle de bain mériterait un peu plus de soin. La literie est un peu raide. La piscine a effleurement est très belle, et incontestablement le point fort de l'hôtel.

Great spot to sleep in!

This is a well maintained house with a friendly owner, somehwat tucked away from 'the strip' full of restaurants and such. Therefore, a peaceful and quiet sleep, right before or after your flight. Great bed and a nice pool! Note: as far as I know, there is no breakfast available.
