Hive 68 - Hotel and Resorts (Negombo)

Lovely stay with a great view. Clean and comfortable and the room service was great too.

This hotel was really handy for the bus station. It was a little shabby in places - could’ve done with a touch up of paint. But the bed was comfortable and the shower good. And there was a great choice for breakfast. The restaurant next door had great food at a good price too.

Great place to stay, very clean and in a really central location in negombo. The room was well appointed, my only complaint was that the bedside shelves were hung poorly and were on a slant down which limited their use. Far exceeded my expectations for the price

Hive 68 at Negombo !! is one experience I shall remember and cherish. Located in the midst of the town of Negombo, it has its advantage of being close to the airport. So, if you are getting in or getting out you could consider planning your stay here accordingly and you’d be pleased with it. About the hotel and its rooms. It’s more of a Bed and Breakfast concept. Ideal for solo or couple travellers. With kids too small I’d not recommend it.  Rooms are neat, well-spaced with decent and clean washrooms. Each room has its own mini veranda with a small sit out, overlooking the lagoon stream, the village and the beautiful St Mary church. The décor all over is kept simple, yet elegant in its own way. Request for room service as per your need and the staff, polite and very hospitable will take care of it. The beauty of Sri Lanka is experienced with the country and its people. To understand this, it is best witnessed. The morning breakfast isn’t of the buffet type, with time they could put it up as an option. You are individually served a fruit platter with a local fresh fruit juice followed by your choice of eggs, accompanied with sausages, bacon, bread toast and coffee or tea. A small yet decent portion to start off your day. The restaurant has a basic menu with mainly a mix of continental and Sri Lankan food. For drinks the local Beer and wine is a good option.A local curry rice is what I’d suggest to include as I found it missing, given the town feel. The portions again are sumptuous and filling. For its location one can explore around the town with ease. Local sight-seeing includes many churches, few temples, a fish market and a beach with a lot of tourist friendly restaurants. Sharing a few photographs of the space. Hope the above helps in choosing your stay, happy holidays and happy touring.
