Where to stay in Negombo and what are the hotel prices?

Hotels in Negombo are considered some of the cheapest in Sri Lanka, with prices starting from 4000 rupees for a double room. The city offers a variety of accommodation options - from budget guesthouses to comfortable hotels with pools.

Accommodation prices:

• Budget guesthouses: from 4000 rupees for two without air conditioning
• Hostels: from 2000 rupees for a bed
• Hotels with a pool: from 8000-12000 rupees

Best areas for accommodation:

• Lewis Place - for budget travel, guesthouses across the road from the beach
• Porutota Road - for comfortable travel, hotels in the first line from the sea with pools
• City center - for a short stop, low prices, close to transport
• South of the lagoon - for seclusion, quiet boutique hotels (but without infrastructure)

Important advice: always bargain for the price, especially when booking on the spot. The initial price may be inflated by 1.5-2 times. If you arrive late in the evening or at night - book in advance and notify the hosts, as many guesthouses close at night.
