Although this hotel looked lovely and had great reviews we had an extremely bad experience.
We had chosen to stay here for our last night, to have somewhere nice and close to the airport. The reviews sounded promising. 
Anyhow at our arrival, they said that the family room we had booked through booking.com had been double booked. So instead of them giving us two rooms, they wanted us to pay extra for another room. We totally understand that the mistake could have been made by booking.com and not by the hotel but I think a hotel needs to take responsibility for this kind of thing (especially when they are not busy and have the space). For 1,5h my husband was trying to sort the issue but the staff would not budge. We wouldn't have been there to have breakfast due to early flight and we would have spent a generous amount on dinner (2 adults and 3 kids). So after 3h drive to the hotel, nearly 2h of arguing at the reception and waiting, we had to in the end CHANGE HOTEL with our 3 tired small children for a mistake that had nothing to do with us. Totally unacceptable in my opinion!!
I hope the hotel learns from this experience and will in the future take responsibility for this kind of issues. I am sure they can get compensation from booking.com for a double booking and would find value of treating customers well.

Bad service.

We stayed at Lespri on the night arriving to Sri Lanka and on the night before leaving.  Despite being close to busy roads the hotel is tranquil and quiet.  The staff is very friendly and helpful.  The pool and garden area was very pretty and relaxing.  The rooms were very clean and spacious.  Meals were delicious as well.  Complimentary airport transfer was very handy.  We also enjoyed watching the gorgeous traditional Indian wedding party have photos taken on the grounds.  Good value.

Tranquil spot to stay near the airport

Checked in about 2pm. Warm friendly welcome, served a bit of complimentary rice cake while waiting for room to be ready. Was ready 15 minutes later. 

Decent pool area, lounge chairs are frayed and in need of replacing as are the chair pads & pool towels. 

Room was clean, bed comfy, AC worked well & wasn't noisy. Nice ceiling fan as well. 

Dinner was tasty and quite reasonable, 500 SLR for a bowl of curry, many different kinds to choose from. 

Excellent stay for a day being so close to the airport, complimentary transportation provided.

VERY friendly warm welcome, pool, food, a bit dated

We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Lespri Grand. After flying into Colombo at 1am the complimentary transfer was appreciated, and then to wake up to the tropical sanctuary with breakfast overlooking the pool was the perfect way to start our travels to Sri Lanka. Kumar and the staff were very friendly and helpful - a must stay when you’re in Negombo or arriving into the country.

The perfect way to start your travels in Sri Lanka

Unfortunately I spent a very short time at the Lespri Grand.  I had booked a one night stay but had to leave in a few hours due to my change in schedule. I was rather sad that I wasn't able to spend the full day at this very lovely property. The welcome and assistance provided by Bernard on my arrival was really very pleasant and warm. The property is a bit small with nine rooms (I think) however the ambience, the food and everything about it is welcoming. It's a colonial style property, the rooms the bathrooms are very well laid out and have a great warm feel. It also has a private sit out area that can be accessed from the room or the bathroom. There are a few mosquitoes but Bernard was the first to advise and also provided repellant. They also have a free pick up OR drop to the airport.  For that old style quiet retreat this seems to be the place. 

On The Way To The Airport!

Had a lovely night away. Staff very helpful. Room lovely, modern and clean (though small). Pool area peaceful and well maintained. Lovely grounds ..hotel is pet friendly and allowed us to take our puppy. 
Had a lovely breakfast..a very chilled, relaxing night aeay.
Will defi itely be back.

Super clean and well maintained 

The BESTEST rice and curry is here! Across the road is the BESTEST egg hopper maker. The BESTEST deviled prawns or roasted chicken with a Sun-downer chilled Lion larger is here! Every  year I stay 6 nights in this semi-boutique somewhat over priced B & B hotel. As it’s a 5 minute walk to the chess venue. The staff are my friends. Kumar the Manager, Bernard his assistant, Crishantha the in house Chef who also keeps the pool scientifically pristine. Rohan to whom I am grateful as he made sure that room number 5 was super hygienic and pleasant to rest after my double rounds of chess games! Then there is the new steward Nalaka who is fitting in well. The semi- boutique hotel needs a massive face lift. It looks and feels weather beaten and tired. A lick of paint, varnish to the beautiful wood work, polishing of the granite floors, deep hot steam cleaning of furniture and curtains by professionals is much needed. Then there are the friendly field mouses. Strangely, they don’t get inside the vastly sprawling property! Kumar has them under his watchful eagle eye. The prices are a few thousand rupees too much per night. That will be a test of your bargaining skills prior to booking. Negombo has a plethora beach side Home stay, Airbnb, boutique hotels for similar or lesser prices. But I needed the friendly ness of Lespri Staff and the proximity to the chess venue. The garden is an oasis of tranquility early morning and at dusk. If you are lucky, during your stay there maybe a video - photo shoot that you get to observe.

For a Chess Tournament!

We stayed here the first night of our Sri Lanka trip, and it was a great place to rest after a long journey. They provide free transfer from the airport (via the Abans counter in the arrival hall), which is about 15 minutes away. We were there in late June, and since it was just a couple of months after the attacks the hotel was very quiet. I think we were the only guests there at the time. We were received by Kumara, who took very good care of us and provided lots of useful tips. Great, large pool. Good breakfast, spacious and adequate good-value rooms with mosquito nets. Overall, a home:y feeling. There are some restaurants, shops and supermarkets just up the road. As per the hotel’s recommendation we went to Lords Restaurant, just by Negombo beach and a 350 rupees tuk tuk ride away, for dinner. Excellent.

To summarize, this friendly and beautiful hotel is a great way to start – or end – a trip to Sri Lanka.

Nice first night in Sri Lanka

I stayed at the Lespri Grand for a total of about 9 days starting around the 20th of February, 2019. 
The place was so peaceful, convenient and well managed. The staff was outstanding in every way. They were extremely polite, obliging and energetic. As the days drifted on I was able to memorize some of their names. Kumar, Bernard, Sohan & Rohan, you guys were really awesome in every way. 
I want to Thank Priyanthi, the manger, who did an awesome job making other reservations at different hotels even with my tight schedule. There were many hours I spent just enjoying a Sri Lankan beer and the fabulous food from the Lespri kitchen. 
The food I ordered was purely amazing and fit for a king. Let me also take this opportunity to say a big 'Thank You' to the chef whom I didn't have the opportunity to meet. 
For any traveler wishing to spend a quick stopover night, or even spend a few peaceful days in Sri Lanka, I strongly recommend this cute, but efficient 'Boutique Hotel'. Lastly, the hotel is situated about 10 to 15 minutes from the airport and they offer free drop-offs to the airport. 
Let me wish all you travelers to Sri Lanka a superb stay at the Lespri Grand !
Cheers,
Tony S

A Miniature Heaven to the Weary Traveler and More!

Stayed here for 1 night .. the stay was okie , the staff try and fulfill your needs to the best of their abilities.

The suits have just 1 air conditioning unit so it can get warm in this part of the world With big rooms . The property is beautiful but the only MAJOR draw back is the little water body / fish pond they have which is full of small fish but also a LOT of insects and other mosquito. Definitely needs a clean , it can be quite bad to have kids infants around been biting for water insects . Definitely not going back there only because of the very dirty green water body they have .
