I stayed for two nights after arriving from the airport. Hans and the rest of the staff are absolutely friendly and helpful and everything we eaten at there restaurant was very tasteful. Our room was big and clean so I highly recommend a stay here, especially after a long flight and your looking for a quiet place to rest and get ready for Sri Lanka.

We had a shakey start as didn't get a message to say we would be met at airport and had to take a local taxi. But on arrival we were met with big smiles, clean room and comfortable bed. Food good, staff excellent and pool lovely.

We loved this family run hotel so much we started and finished our holiday here.Clean, comfortable rooms with fridge, kettle and cups, air con and ceiling fan. This is a hotel that actually lives up to its good reviews.The garden is so pretty and visited often by beautiful birds and chipmunks (squirrels to the locals), and the pool is so welcome om a hot day. Access to the beach, where we saw beautiful sunsets every evening, and listened to the pounding sea, is through a gate at the top of the garden. But the best thing about Zieglers is the staff:Thank you to Hugo for collecting us from the airportThank you to Hans for your local knowledge and always being there to help.Thank you to Hector (see photo) for your wonderful food – a Sri Lanka curry to beat all others.Thank you to Thissa for serving all our mealsThank you to Thomas for being there to help Hector.Thank you to the ladies who ventured into our rooms each day and tolerated our untidiness.Your warm smiles and friendliness will stay with us for a long, long time. Nothing was ever too much trouble for these guys, and if we ever come back to Sri Lanka, this is where we will stay.

The place and people are really great. We will go there again

A pickup was ready at the airport as we agreed upon. Upon arrival we were welcomed with a nice refreshing drink. The room was clean. We had curry for diner which was really good (and much). Breakfast really good as well. We left with a taxi in which my girlfriend left her phone. The owner(s) went out of there way to get it back and finally we did.

Very friendly stuff (welcome drink at the check-in), late check-in at midnight was no problem, very good breakfast, room very good and clean, bathroom ok, half an hour from the airport, very quiet place,

Lovely hotel with very clean pool and excellent restaurant. Away from the noise of the town and perfect for a peaceful unwind.

The Chinese receptionist never smiles and just sits around doing absolutely nothing.They gave us welcome drinks on arrival but did not bother offering anything to our driver who was sitting right next to us. There are many mosquitoes around. They should consider closing doors and adding mosquito nets. We were promised Sri Lankan breakfast but instead got bread, jam, and an omelette!?! The garden is not well maintained. To access the dirty beach that is behind the house one needs to go through a small wooden gate that is barely visible. The layout of the bathroom is strange with the shower right in the middle of it. The soap looked like it had been used by the previous guest. The reception area needs a makeover. The rooms are clean and the location is convenient (for people who need to go to the airport) but other than that the owners clearly did not make the best of it.

Lovely friendly family run place! So clean and very good hospitality. Always smiling! Thank you!

stayed here for 2 nights after long journey in Sri Lanka before getting plane home. Lovely, family run hotel, all personnel very friendly and welcoming. Very clean and comfortable, I slept really well and woke to lovely breakfast with huge pot of tea.There is a very attractive garden to relax in. Its a long way out of town but that adds to the peaceful environment and, as a frequent bus service runs right outside the door, getting into town is easy.The garden backs onto the beach. Not really an attractive beach for swimming or sunbathing, its rocky and litter strewn( unfortunately, thats Negombo, the litter gets much worse closer to town) but I enjoyed a walk along it and listening to the waves and watching the sunset over the sea. Negombo town is interesting to pass a day or two before travelling onwards, much preferable to big, noisy Colombo while recovering from your journey.

Hans and his do their best to fulfil your wishes and make your days pleasant. Good food, however mind to order well ahead or not to please a too complex order for a group of people. It was a good start for our trip around Sri Lanka. I recommend this place.
