Great Value for Money!

Nice clean rooms and beautiful view. Staff were fantastic and went the extra mile to upgrade our room on short booking notice. The pool and bar staff were fantastic. Right outside you can snorkel in the reef. Breakfast was a big spread. Only minus was I had to pay a small fee to use the gym. Highly recommend!

Marina

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Loved the staff's hospitality and attentiveness to guests. The breakfast on the days there is no buffet consists of too much sugar and carbs. The staff needs to pay attention to have more Protein rich food items such as cheese, yoghurt, ham etc. Access to the beach is great. So sad to see so much plastic on the sea shores.

Dated

The hotel is dated & needs a revamp. The first room was old, musty & tired. Water marks on the walls, very tired bathroom & poor fittings. The 2nd room was an improvement on the first although dated. Staff were friendly & amenable. Breakfast was buffet style and plentiful but lacked variety. Pool area was clean & safe, although hogging of sunbeds started early 0600! Overall was a satisfactory stay however there are better value hotels along the same stretch of road.

This is a very nice beach front hotel. Popular place since 70s. Close to the city center with bus/train stations, banks/ATMs. Turtle beach also very close, we can feed the friendly sea turtles and take photos. Kids friendly beach area. This hotel has swimming pools. One for the kids also. Good breakfast and dinner buffet with international food items, some local items also daily. Good A/C, Hot water, comfy beds. Some TV channels with BBC. Very friendly staff!! They keep this property clean and tidy all the time. All the guests are very happy with the amenities. Lots of repeat tourist show this place is memorable for them! We will come and stay again. Big thanks to Front Desk staff, housekeeping and kitchen staff. Pool staff make sure all are safe and happy.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Not good at all

When I accepted the room they claimed that I had not paid even though the payment was made through the website. There was no hot water in the shower until after a technician arrived - the directions between the hot and cold water were different. The room looks very old and so does the furniture. The air conditioner dripped water, the mattress sank and would not rest, and in the middle of the night the ceiling fan's switch gave off a burnt smell. Not a good experience at all

Nära revet

Hotellet ligger nära revet där det är helt ok att snorkla. Mindre vågor på den stranden också jämfört med den stora surfstranden. Vi bodde i deluxrum med en stor altan utanför, vilket var mycket bra. Maten i Hikkaduwa var mycket billig. Vi åt i snitt för 150kr för två personer och 1,5 l öl.
