Excellent stay with exceptional breakfast
Pros:

-one of the cleanest hotels in Hiriketiya
-staff so warm and welcome and try their best to accommodate your needs
-exceptional breakfast, the best in comparison with other hotels and family houses I stayed

Cons:

-everything was perfect for the Asia standards. I don’t understand why it has so little stars. It should have at least 4 for the standards of East. Can’t wait to be back.

Pleasant. Clean. Safe. Awesome people of Sri Lanka!
Pros:

People managing it. Cleanliness. Location.

Cons:

Wish they put some blinds from outside too. Too hot in the summer and the windows don’t stop the heat from entering.

Gute Unterkunft
Pros:

Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr freundlich! Das Zimmer war riesig und das Bett war groß und bequem. Die Lage ist super und Geschäfte, etc. schnell erreichbar. Frühstück war auch gut.

Cons:

Dies war die teuerste Unterkunft in Sri Lanka. Der Preis ist im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften zu hoch. Das Badezimmer roch etwas muffig. Wir haben einen Mülleimer in die Tür gestellt, damit dauerhaft gelüftet wird. Dann war es okay.

Genuinely lovely people
Pros:

The staff here are so friendly. We arrived wjth a 9 month old baby and they couldn’t be more accommodating including looking after him while we had breakfast two days in a row. The location is perfect and the rooms comfortable and clean but frankly the staff made it

Well maintained premises, good size rooms and comfy beds
Pros:

Very clean and tidy

Cons:

Breakfast is only served from 8.30am. With it being so hot, it is good to be able to get out early to avoid the heat of the day. A slightly earlier breakfast of 7.30/8am would have been great

Amazing place, can’t find any faults with it at all and would stay again!
Pros:

Staff were super helpful and kind.

Great location, super close to everything but still felt quiet/out of town.

Pros:

This hotel was the absolute best! The hosts were so so lovely and helpful. I stepped on a sea urchin during my trip and the hosts really went out of their way to check in on me during my stay. The breakfast included was such a large portion and so so tasty! The location of the hotel was also in the perfect spot. I couldn’t recommend this stay more!
