Лучшее место
Pros:

Проживали в номере N 1 с видом на море и балконом с 3 по 10 февраля 2026г. Тот редкий случай, когда понравилось абсолютно все: и локация самого отеля, и соотношение цена - качество, и прекрасное отношение персонала, и внимательный радушный персонал. Номер оборудован всем необходимым, напор и температура горячей воды отличная, прекрасный wi-fi, чайник и чай-кофе-сахар-сливки были, сейф выдали по запросу сразу, фен новый, уборка раз в три дня очень качественная, кондей бесшумный, кровать удобная. Рядом черепахи. Плавать в бухте отеля было комфортно. Рядом много ресторанов, магазинов, алкошоп и супермаркет. Обязательно вернемся еще в этот отель.

Cons:

ウミガメが来るビーチ
Pros:

目の前がビーチなので眺めが最高、古いけど冷蔵庫あり、海で濡れたシャツを干せるラックがあるのが良かった、近くに雑貨屋で少し歩けばキレイなスーパー、ウミガメ
眺めが本当に最高でした

Cons:

コーヒーカップが小さかった、オフシーズンだったからウミガメが来る以外のアクティビティが無かった

Un des meilleurs hôtels de notre séjour à très bon prix.
Pros:

Magnifique terrasse avec une vue incroyable sur la mer. Chambre bien équipée avec un frigo (ce qui est rare), sèche-cheveux, une bouilloire, du thé et du café et des bouteilles d'eau. Nous avons apprécié le grand lit à baldaquin permettant de ne pas dormir avec la moustiquaire sur la figure. Plein de restaurants à proximité, donc ce n'était pas gênant que celui de l'hôtel soit fermé.Personnel très accueillant.

Best View in Hikkaduwa, walkable to the best snorkeling in Sri Lanka
Pros:

This hotel only has 3 rooms, but they all have AMAZING views. This seems like the best spot on the beach. I could just hang out on the private balcony all day long.

Cons:

The restaurant is not good. Staff is super slow (over an hour to get food) and the food is not great. Go elsewhere for food.

Perfect location but needs cleaning and paint
Pros:

Good location - nice balcony

The property and restaurant need a thorough cleaning and renovation.

Walls grim with dirt

The closest hotel room to the sea ever!
Pros:

This lovely hotel has an air of faded charm. It is right on the beach, I mean you can step down a ladder from the restaurant and you're in the sea.
Our corner room was on the second floor and had a huge private balcony overlooking the sea and the busy little beach alongside the hotel. Perfect for people watching and enjoying the sunset.
The room was big and comfortable, nice shower and a fridge. Big sea view directly from the bed!
We ate at the hotel for dinner which was very good. I enjoyed the King coconut wine, it's sweet and delicious before or after dinner. You also get discount in the restaurant if you're a hotel guest.
Despite being in the centre of Hikkaduwa, our room was quiet apart from the sound of a sea.

Cons:

There was no bedside table.

Excellent small family-run hotel on the beach
Pros:

Located directly on the beach, balcony to the sea; large, excellently equipped, impeccably clean and perfectly maintained room; short walk from the best snokelling spot; nice owners and staff; very nice fruit pancakes, unfortunately did not have the chance to take dinner; overall exceeded our expectations - will come again!
