Lovely location. Need to watch for beach parties!
Have stayed here on many previous occasions and keep coming back. This occasion was marred by music on the beach side of the property which did not stop until past midnight. This certainly disturbed our sleep before an early morning flight. Otherwise, recent renovations have improved bathrooms and AC. Decent breakfast. Lovely location on the beach with good pool. Still too expensive for category, yet we keep coming back as very near to airport and on the beach. Food outlets plentiful on the street outside. Did find staff rather sheepish compared to previous stays over the last decade. I believe that there has been a recent change in management and the adjoining Don's Beach Hotel has separated from the Golden Star Beach Hotel.

Well positioned Hotel, relatively close to the airport, tour guides, shops, and restaurants. Right on the beach. Room cleaning staff, food preparation and service staff were great, reception staff were not so great - not knowing much or appearing distracted. All most all staff eager to help. My room was quiet, with thick walls, ceiling and floors. Air-conditioner essential for comfort and worked well as well as being quiet. Room clean but a little bit dated, bathroom big with marble appearance tiles. Pool was popular for others, the water appeared green to me. Hawkers selling their wares on the beach were annoying, and security didn't do much to stop them. Took about three occasions saying "No thank you" before they would leave you alone.

Silver star for the Golden Star Beach Hotel.
The hotel was fair for the price & is very close to the beach. It is not a luxury hotel by any stretch, however, it is appealing from the outside and is of a fair condition inside. Good service, however we struggled to find the hotel as the sign that reads ‘Golden Star Beach Hotel’ is engraved into a rock that is not illuminated, so we actually drove past the hotel thinking it was a different hotel.

Sand, sea and location
I have stayed here on many occasions over the years and am always taken by the tranquil location/environment beside the sea yet with multiple eateries in the near locality. Access to the airport is easy as is a trip by bus to the city of colombo. No issues with the hotel itself either. However the hotel used to offer free WiFi throughout but this has now stopped. Breakfast was fine but outside breakfast, food is expensive for the category of hotel.

Bad and crumbling hotel near the beach
Despite the negative reports I booked this hotel. It turns out the negative reports are all true. This hotel needs to be avoided along with a stack of other hotels in the negombo area. They are just interested in taking your money there is no after sales support. This hotels idea of air conditioning is simply having a air conditioner it does not matter if it does not work. If you book this hotel you do yourself in

Not worth it
Old & rundown with dodgy plumbing, poor air conditioning, no mini bar/fridge as stated, got told at 7 pm at the restaurant hotel to pick something other than chicken curry as it would take too long. As it was i was the only customer & it took 30 mins for my bland chicken noodles. My room had no screen in the bathroom so mosquitoes were getting in. Staff don't pass on information to other staff. Was told i could stay in the room then told i had to move the next day. Next time i'll stay elsewhere.. only stayed here because Intrepid tour starts here. Shocking choice for intrepid considering what they charge for the tour. Only good things were the pool and the location on the beach.

Good stay for a few nights.
This is a reasonable hotel for a few days. Good beach, fair breakfast. You have to play 'hunt the signal' for WiFi, but it works in the end.

Not that good
At first we were given room with two singles pushed together- we booked double. The shower was mouldy and smelled as if used as toilet. The A/C just worked -not great. We were given another room - much better but when had shower , the bathroom flooded - but lived with that. The breakfast was fine but restaurant food was way overpriced and limited choice. The pool bar was good and friendly staff helped, though again quite pricey.

Good place to stay arriving/leaving Sri Lanka
This hotel is good for a couple of nights. I arrived straight from the airport for 2 nights before I started a tour of Sri Lanka. The room was large and clean. I didn't go into the sea but spent my time by the pool which was very good. Buffet breakfast was good - eggs made to order and various other options available. I had just arrived after a long flight, so wasn't in the mood to do much exploring. After my tour, realised Negombo is the best place to stay instead of Colombo after/before a flight - being near the airport!

Old Hotel that really needs renovation
The hotel is located facing a beach being the best feature plus a reasonable breakfast. Other than that, the rooms are old and run down, furniture creaks, showers leak, outdated air-conditions that take time to cool the room, tv with fuzzy reception, and loud drumming music from beach parties (non hotel guests) makes it hard to sleep. Around the hotel are a couple of boring restaurants which offers little choice on their menus; you need to walk a further few kilometers up the road to find more interesting menus. Hotel has a car park at the back which comes in handy if you hire a car. If you are catching a taxi from Colombo, drivers from there may not be familiar with Negombo and end up being lost especially with the bad street lighting at night.
