The Swiss Lankan

It’s next to the rail tracks so get waken up by the trains a lot. The pillows were too hard en high, not comfortable at all.

well look you get what you paid for but my friend who got a hotel right infront of this hotel for the same price was clean and overall so much better the beds and all were terrible at this place it was really dusty and the shower heads don’t work but again you get what you paid for but there’s always a better deal somewhere else

During our stay at Swiss Lanka Inn, a large amount of cash and a valuable wedding ring were stolen from us. Our room was always locked, and there were no signs of a break-in. Since our valuables were well hidden, it appears that someone deliberately searched through all of our luggage.

Although we were offered help after the incident, we had the feeling that the interest in our valuables was greater than the concern for guest safety. This sense of mistrust significantly affected our stay.

If you value security, you should carefully consider whether this accommodation is the right choice. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend it.

Many things (door, no mirror in the bath, fan) were partially broken.

There’s no one on site and they don’t answer their phones so prepare to wait to both check in and to collect your luggage if you leave it. I made sure to let them know I would return to pick up my bags at a specific time, since I went to the fantastic beach just across the road one last time, and was assured it was no problem. However I sat for a literal HOUR repeatedly calling them and trying to make contact so I could be let me back in. I contemplated breaking a window, but decided to walk to a neighboring hotel to see if they knew how to get in touch. Luckily, the woman I spoke with was related to the owners and was able to call them AND have them pick up the phone within 10 minutes. Would not stay again.

I liked everything

The train passes by during the day right next to the property - the sight is amazing, but it sounds like a train is passing by

There is a party on saturdays and it last until the Morning. Not easy to sleep

Location is quite far from the city and almost on the tracks, although there are a few restaurants around. We also drove our Tuktuk to kabalana beach to surf. On Saturday, a bar right next to it played super loud music till 5 am but it’s not the hotels fault. No shop near.

No shower gel provided. Only one soap for handwashing.
I got injured in the shower cause the shower head doesn't fit the holder and fell on my eye, giving me a blue eye for the holiday XD
There is no drinking water available to refill your bottle.
Close to the train track, keep in mind if you are a light sleeper.
There is no washing machine other than the booking says. But the host can do your laundry for you.
