This is a very nice place to stay. Near the beach but an oasis of calm in the hotel. All the staff are very welcoming and helpful. I liked the pool for my water yoga and there was always some shade and sunshine so you could be comfortable.

Good price, but it's an outdated place.
Room was dark and dingey. The whole place is run down and needs work. I stayed for only twenty minutes, then headed to another hotel instead. It's possible that the place looks better in daylight. But to me it was pretty depressing.

A wonderful experience, starting with a warm welcome. Then i saw my fabulous room, which was pristine, with a superb shower room. Very spacious accommodation, lush green garden. Minutes from beach, shops and restaurants. What really made my stay amazing was Mr Gomez himself. He has the gift making each guest feel special and well attended to, resulting in service one cannot fault. My first long haul trip since the pandemic began, an unforgettable experience.

Great place close to beach. Staff very attentive and rooms very clean. Went with my girlfriend, though the hotel is predominently gay orientated (male mainly). It’s has a boutique feel about it and is very quiet and relaxing. Recommend for anyone looking for a short stay.

Thank you, Gomez Place!!
Another peaceful, relaxing stay at Gomez Place. This year I planned twice as long as my first visit in 2018, but the time went just as quickly. The rooms are comfortable and eclectic and very close to all the hotspots of Negombo. Mr. Gomez, the delightful proprietor, has been offering hospitality for a long time. He knows everyone and everyone knows him on this fabulous island. He can put a great trip together for an island tour ir a weeo getaway to Colombo, at a very reasonable price with some of the nicest guides you will ever experience. I've met some cool, crazy, awesome fellow guests at Gomez Place. I can honestly say I would not want to stay anywhere else in the Negombo area. Stutti! Gomez!!

I had been to Negombo in February but wanted to return again. July is off season and therefore a good time to visit. Gomez Place is a charming and very friendly hotel, very close to the beach. The hotel has a beautiful pool. The breakfast is large and delicious. The staff is super friendly and speak English well.

I really loved this hotel. It was centrally located and just a 2-3 minutes walk to the beach and shopping areas. The staff was the best, providing assistance with tours, guides, and information about must see and do activities. The room was very clean and so large, and comfortable.

A Little Oasis in Negombo
I only stayed at Gomez Place for one night, but wish I'd stayed longer. I liked the lovely garden, the peace and quiet, the refreshing pool, basically everything. The room was spacious--the bathroom alone was bigger than some of my entire hotel rooms in Sri Lanka. Comfortable bed. Good breakfast and attentive staff. The location is about a 10 min walk to the beach and some good restaurants. Don't forget to bring some mosquito repellent!

Wonderful service from a wonderful team.
This is a small privately owned hotel operated by the owner. Comfortable and clean, large en-suite bathroom with good shower, also large bedroom (room 12) with an in room safe, reasonably priced mini-bar, aircon, ceiling fan, 1st floor balcony overlooking beautiful garden, attentive, polite and personable hotel staff. Tours to temples and Colombo and airport transfers organised with ease through the proprietor, Mr Gomez. A healthy inclusive vegetarian breakfast with freshly squeezed tropical fruit juice, fresh fruits (mango especially nice but need to request), eggs any style, sliced cheese and toasts with butter and jam, Tea or Coffee...all delivered with a friendly smile. I had many refreshing swims in the great little pool at the hotel and sunbeds and swimming towels are provided. On our first day of arrival (5:30am) a complimentary room was made available for us to catch up on a little sleep before breakfast. The hotel is within a very short distance from all the main attractions - Rodeo Bar, Tastees Banana restaurant and bar, Sea Port Restaurant, Lords Restaurant and bar with live music, 4X4 Pub (at Sherryland).... (all the aforementioned are highly rated and personally recommended). The golden beaches of Negombo are idyllic. The vendors on the beach can be quite pesky. The staff really want to help to make your stay a comfortable and pleasant one. Don't hesitate to request their assistance with anything such as special requests, travel arrangements, directions etc

At the end of my Sri Lankan holiday I spent 3 days at Gomez Place and I really enjoyed it. The Gomez Place is a small hotel (17 rooms only), very quiet and very secure, yet very close to the beach and best restaurants and bars in Negombo. My room was huge, the mattress was firm (just the way I like it) and the ceiling fan as well as aircon that were working really well. And my bathroom was actually a whole secluded courtyard! The breakfast is substantial, served in the lovely garden. I really liked the pool. It was so refreshing. The pool is not very big but quite deep which was just great for a refreshing plunge. Most of the time I had a whole pool for myself. The best of all is the staff at Gomez House. They are all attentive, knowledgeable and efficient, and also very kind and helpful. Surely I am looking forward to staying at Gomez Place again

Mysigt familjeägt hotell i Negombo nära stranden
Vi trivdes bra på Gomez Place, ett mysigt litet hotell nära stranden. Vi hade ett rum på bottenvåningen med en egen trädgård, badrum med regndusch. Det finns såväl AC som fläkt på rummet. Kylskåp och vattenkokare med te och kaffepulver finns också. Frukost utomhus varje morgon med kaffe/te, frukt från trädgården, rostebröd och olika former av ägg serveras varje morgon - var inte blyg att fråga efter bacon om du önskar detta! Det är ingen buffé utan personalen kommer och tar beställning vid bordet. Mycket trevlig och tillmötesgående personal. Liten men mysig och svalkade pool som ofta är ledig, cirka tio solstolsplatser finns och här finns badlakan till varje solstol. Ni kommer att erbjudas olika resor till olika delar av ön med bil och chaufför, som man betalar för per dag. Ser till att ni vet exakt vad ni vill göra och berätta detta i detalj, så inga missförstånd uppkommer. Hotellet ligger nära stranden, man går över huvudgatan och är där. Dock finns det inte mycket möjlighet till skugga, så ta med parasoll/paraply. Den tiden vi var där, var det höga vågor och hårda underströmmar, kolla detta om ni vill bada i lugn och ro.

コロンボ空港からホテルの車で片道15USD約30分。こちらは大人向けホテルなので、子供連れは向かないかもしれません。オーナーのGomezさんやスタッフ皆さん大変親切でホスピタリティに溢れ、アットホームなサービスが素晴らしかったです。朝食はオーダー式で、パン・シリアル、各種卵料理に、フルーツ、そして美味しいセイロンティーが頂けます。部屋も広々で、清潔、寝心地良いベッド、温度調整水圧バッチリなシャワー、ピストル式ウォシュレット完備、無料WIFIサクサクスムーズ。アメニティの品質はイマイチだったので、持参したほうが良いかも。コンパクトはプールがあり、のんびりできます。あと、日当たりが余りよくない部屋もあるので、気になる方は事前にリクエストした方が良いかも。ビーチまで徒歩5分、周辺にはレストランやスーパーなど充実しています。また、シギリヤロックとピンナラワ象孤児院への送迎をそれぞれ2日間、車チャーターをお願いし、合計152USDでした。年末年始に宿泊しましたが、連日満室、翌年分の予約をする常連さんも多いとのことで、早めの予約をおススメします。とても楽しく、大満足、快適に過ごせました。また宿泊したいです。リピ確定です！
