Schlechter Schlaf
Pros:

Ein sehr großes Zimmer. Das sHotel liegt im ruhigeren und schönem Bereich von Hikkaduwa. Der Besitzer war sehr bemüht und gab uns Tipps zur Weiterfahrt. Sogar unser Tuktuk wurde geputzt. Das Früstücksbuffet ist sehr abwechslungsreich.

Cons:

Der Zug fährt gefühlt durchs Zimmer, was ich zwar bei Buchung wusste. Leider fuhr er auch nachts um 3:50. Der Abfluss im Bad roch nicht gut. Einige Armaturen müssteb mal erneuert werden, da sie schon sehr vergilbt und abgenutzt sind. Das Bett knarzt und quietscht bei jeder kleinsten Bewegung sehr laut, sodass man sogar aufwacht. Die Bettdecke war kratzig.

Pros:

Bellissima struttura con piscina per i clienti. Colazione ricca e di ottima qualità. Il proprietario è molto disponibile. A pochi passi dal mare, vicino a numerosi ristoranti di diversa fascia. Camere ampie e spaziose, pulitissime.

Cons:

Struttura vicino alla ferrovia, si possono sentire i treni, che però di notte sono poco numerosi (due o tre treni a notte). Sicuramente gli aspetti positivi superano questa piccola criticità.

Pros:

철도 주변에 위치하고 있어, 첫날에 기차 소리와 기차 매연으로 당황한 기억이 있었으나 곧 적응을 했음. 지리적 위치는 매우 괜찮음. 도보로 기차역 5~7분거리, 해변도 5~10분이면 됨, 주변에 맛집들도 많아 배낭 여행객에게 추천! 그리고 4박을 지냈는데 조금 불편한 부분도 있지만 손님의 편의를 위해 최선을 다하는 모습을 보여 감사했음. 아침 조식은 다양한 음식을 제공하고 매우 정성을 다해줘서 편안하고 대접을 받는 느낌으로 식사를 함, 특별히 아침 식사에 제공되는 홍차가 향긋하고 부드러웠으며 12박 13일 동안 스리랑카에서 맛 본 홍차 중 최고였음(누와라엘리야에서 그랜드 호텔에서 애프터눈 티 세트를 마시고 페드로 다원에서 제공한 홍차보다도 맛있음), 스리랑카에서 리조트와 3~5성급등 다양한 숙박 경험을 했는데 현지인의 정을 느낄 수 있는 기억에 남는 숙소임.

Cons:

스리랑카 정글(?) 속에 있는 듯한 느낌의 숙소인 만큼 벌레(모기, 개미)들이 조금 있음.

Muy agradable
Pros:

Desayuno fantástico, tipo buffet. Nos dejaron en la estación de tren a primera hora. La piscina está muy bien. El paso del tren cerca, lejos de ser molesto, resulta ser pintoresco.

I can highly recommend this hotel!
Pros:

The owners are such lovely people. I received a very friendly welcome. The rooms were clean, the grounds are beautiful. The breakfast is very plentiful, and the overall service is some of the best I've ever experienced. The owner organized airport transportation and took care of my needs at all times. If you come to Hikkaduwa, you should stay at this hotel.

We felt truly pampered by Chandima
Pros:

Chandima, Sanjeewa, and Lahiru are among the nicest hosts we’ve had in Sri Lanka! If you’re traveling on a budget, this place is an excellent choice—you won’t regret it.

The guesthouse is centrally located, just seconds from the beach, town shops, and restaurants. We were especially impressed by the generous breakfast and the beautifully presented food.

Our room exceeded expectations for the price, featuring a lovely private en-suite bathroom. Though we didn’t use the pool, we wish we had—it’s stunning, surrounded by lush green gardens that add to the charm of the property.

Highly recommended!

Cons:

The only concern to note is that the train passes very close to the building, which might be a bit noisy for light sleepers. However, the genuine kindness and warmth of the owners more than make up for it!

Highly recommended!

Noisy and stressful.
Pros:

The breakfast and the pool.

Cons:

The location is right next to a train line. Expect a few trains per night with horns. This is very loud so earplugs don’t help much. I appreciate this isn’t the hotels fault but wish i knew beforehand.
Staff didn’t speak much english.
