    I would suggest the beach restaurant doesn’t play music, it would be more peaceful.

    The rooms are just next to the beach. Beach is very clean and crystal clear water. Though the rooms are small in size, they were equipped with all the necessities., including mini bar and tea/coffee maker. Breakfast was super. Dinner was served a la carte and was very quick and fulfilled all our different food requests without any hesitation. The staff were very friendly, always ready to help with heartiest smiles on their faces.

    The room was quite noisy, because it doesn't have insulation. There is a window on top of the door which makes impossible blackout in the night. The walls should be repainted because they have some stains.

    Big and stylish room, bathroom has walk-in shower, which is quite rare for Sri Lanka. The hotel looks like a colonial old house, which gives a lot of charm. lt's located on the beach and close to all shops and restaurants. Room cleaned every day, free water provided daily.

    Breakfast was average. If you want traditional breakfast you must order in advance. Also, at night plays loud music which can be heard in the rooms. We were lucky that we didn't get the room that's directly facing the beach where the music was coming from.

    Beachfront, pleasant and accommodating staff, very clean and nicely decorated rooms. They offer free access and transport to a nice pool in their exclusive sister hotel. Surrounded by many eating options and stores.

    The room was clean but smelling mold. Also the sealing had some visible signs of mold. Fun fact: be prepared to hear everything , even the farts from the other rooms ;)

    The location at the beach was great. The bathroom was newly renovated but the room had mold and smell wasn’t so pleasant. One night ok.

    The pictures seem to have been taken a long time ago so the room and bathroom is looking a little tired and needs to be freshened up quite a bit. Also above the door is a window to the corridor so at night it lets light into the room.

    The location was perfect. Right on the beach and the quiet street (not main road) where all the restaurants and bars were. we stayed in the penthouse which has a split level where the boys slept upstairs and we slept in the main part. The balcony was amazing to have. The staff were all so friendly and the resident stray dogs which have been adopted by them are lovely too. If you come to Sri Lanka you need to understand there are stray dogs everywhere so you can’t moan that they come in the seating areas. The food in the Resturant was really good and I was also impressed with the breakfast. You certainly won’t go hungry! I didn’t realise when booking it but they have 2 other hotels with pools so you can be taken there if you want too which is great.

    the shower pressure was poor and not very warm. there was a funny smell at times in the communal hallways. they were doing maintenance/improvement works in the reception area

    our room - we had the penthouse room and it was super. lovely view out over the beach/sea, comfortable bed and spacious.
