Ziegler Cottage

This was one of our favourite hotels during our three weeks stay in Sri Lanka (we stayed in the beginning of our trip and rebooked it for our last days as well). First if all, the hotel is in a really peaceful location, right at the beach, the rooms are very clean, the pool area very inviting and relaxing, and food from the restaurant always delicious! But what makes this place truly wonderful is the owner and his staff - they are always so welcoming, friendly and exceptionally helpful! Hans even gave us a room for showering after checking out so we could use it before going to the airport. Also, we can really recommend Mohan as a driver if you want to see any parts of Sri Lanka! Thank you all for such a good time!! We will come back for sure :)

My stay was nothing short of wonderful. Tucked away in a peaceful setting, this charming boutique property offered the perfect blend of comfort, character, and warm hospitality. The rooms were clean and cozy, giving a homely yet refined feel. I especially loved the open-air spaces and the tranquil garden area, perfect for enjoying a morning cup of tea or just unwinding. What truly made the stay memorable was the attentive and friendly staff. They went above and beyond to make sure every need was met, offering local recommendations and even accommodating special dietary preferences with ease. The breakfast was a highlight, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

I stayed here to relax after the flight to relax before the tour knowing that it is far away from the Negombo town (my second visit to Sri Lanka). The food at the restaurant was not great as others wrote. The portions are small for the price and not the tastiest I ve had in Sri Lanka. The pool area felt small without any aura. It takes 45 minutes to the airport. The next time I’ll be in Negombo beach area again, as there are more options food wise and transportation is more convenient. The pictures and reviews looked promising but not met the expectations. Knowing all these you could still spend a night or two.

The hotel's personnel was super helpful and kind. We arrived early in the morning with small baby - they let us to check in without extra charge. Kids wanted to eat around 10 pm when kitchen was closed, but the staff made french fries. The pool was amaizing and the beach nearby although not suitible to swim, was great to walk and watch sunset. The rooms were good-sized, beds were comfortable and large. Amaizing seaview and ocean sounds all day long. Squirells and birds, even peacock in the garden Really close to the airport. Staff helped to manage transfers and tuk tuks

I had an exceptional stay at this hotel! The food was exquisite, with a variety that catered to every palate. The service was impeccable; the staff went above and beyond to ensure every need was met promptly and with a smile. Cleanliness was top-notch throughout the property, making it a comfortable and inviting place to relax. The breathtaking views from my room were the cherry on top, offering a picturesque backdrop morning and night. Security was also impressive, providing peace of mind. Overall, the value for the price exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to indulge in a memorable and enjoyable stay.
