Embiente Guest House

Swimming pool

An oasis just back from the main Negombo beach strip. Extremely well maintained gardens and swimming pool, and very helpful staff.

Water temperature in the showers could be a little warmer, but that's a minor issue

The pool is a nice plus and the room is spacious and you have a good hot shower.

After one month in guesthouses I was used to be more welcomed and have a guest friendly behaviour by the owners. In Embient you are more a walking purse as you have to purchase even half an hour arriving earlier if the room is ready and free. Also I am used to get a coffee or tea for free just as a welcome, but they purchase high price on this.

The room and the pool were clean.

Poor communication with the staff. Check out was at 10AM. I would have not stayed here if I noticed that check out was early. Never stayed in a place where check out was this early. No wifi in my room. Shower pressure was bad. Sheets were old.

The welcome could not have been warmer, the room very comfortable, plenty of hot water and our own outside seating area next to the pool a great bonus. The hotel is in a quiet street but only a short walk from the beach and all sorts of restaurants. The land lady went out of her way to spoil all of her guests. Hairdresser, massages, fresh fruit drinks, coffee, tea, home cooked breakfast, in-depth conversations. A really nice place to stay and to return to!

Nice garden and swimming pool

Water pressure in shower very low

Cleaned , Friendly staff

The pool was amazing and the staff were friednly and polite. The room was clean and so was the bathroom and the common area.very close to the beach(10min walk to the browns beach) ,close to many eateries and supermarkets but in a peaceful neighborhood.Towels and sheets were clean.

The bathroom did not have an exhaust ,and becasue of it there was a small window in place which has to be cranked open when in use,which invites plenty of mosquitos.No kettle in the room. And no toileteries.when we stayed there for a night,there was a powercut which lasted for hours in the daytime,which was unbearable heat. Maybe a power backup in place could fix it.
