5.2/10

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The location was great, just a hop away from the beach and restaurants, but the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. I appreciated the friendly staff and decent breakfast after a few bumps, but the overall state of the facilities was quite disappointing.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in felt dusty and had visible signs of mold. The decor was dated, and the window offered no privacy, which made me feel uncomfortable. The air conditioning worked fine, but I wished for a more thorough cleaning before my arrival.

Service

5.0

While the staff was very kind, I had some issues with the speed of service. For breakfast, my order was frequently messed up, and I had to remind them about what was missing. The manager could have been more professional in handling complaints.

I really loved the location as it was near the beach and all the local attractions. It was perfect for someone wanting to explore Negombo. However, I did experience noise from nearby bars, which affected my sleep.

Dining

The breakfast started messy but improved when I voiced my concerns. They eventually got my order right after a few tries, and I enjoyed a large breakfast at a reasonable price. I appreciated the themed dinner events like the hopper night, but it took some time for the staff to deliver.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities felt neglected. The pool needed a little maintenance, and some amenities like the TV channels didn't work properly. I also noted that room cleaning was only done upon request, which I found inconvenient.

I enjoyed my three-night stay at St. Lachlan Hotel & Suites, but it wasn't without its issues. The staff were welcoming and helped me with my transfer to another hotel, though the rooms felt a bit dated and could use a fresh coat of paint. The pool was clean and well maintained, making it a nice spot to unwind. Overall, I'd say it's a decent choice for a short stay in Negombo.
