Гарне місце за свої гроші
Pros:

Прекрасне розташування в центрі, декілька хвилин до великого продуктового маркету, 1 хвилина до кафешки Shady Lane (це є найбільшим плюсом!), привітний персонал. Гарне місце, щоб зупинитись.

Felt like home
Pros:

We initially booked a room here for a week but ended up staying for 2 weeks. We felt like home with Praveen and his family. They are some of the nicest people we've met.

The building is relatively new and everything is clean. Our room was spacious, bright, smelled nice, and had a balcony and a really big bathroom. AC worked great, and so did the water heater. There is a little drawer with a lock for your valuables. If you need anything, you just have to ask, and they'll provide. I wanted to taste watalappan, but they don't have it on the menu, so Praveen even went to buy it for me from a nearby place.

We ate at their restaurant almost every day. The food is very good, the prices are decent and they are careful about hygiene. Vegan and vegetarian options for almost every dish.

The location is really convenient too, right behind Cargills and 5 mins walk to the beach, central to Mirissa, but pretty quiet because it's on a side street.

Cons:

The wifi is not always very reliable, but Praveen called the provider, and they fixed the issue.

Lovely place to stay in a nice location
Pros:

This is a new hotel, so everything is clean and modern and the facilities are excellent, with good air conditioning and wifi.

Although it's close to the main road it doesn't get too noisy, and it's located at a good position next to the supermarket and lots of restaurants and cafes. The beach is a few mins walk away.

There's a restaurant outside which is part of the hotel. The rice and curry was excellent value, and very tasty - one of the best I had in Sri Lanka, though as others have said the dal was very dry.

The staff are really friendly, and was kindly offered a juice on arrival. I would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

The mattress was uncomfortable as I could feel the springs. This was a shame because the room was otherwise very nice.

DO NOT STAY HERE
Pros:

NOTHING

Cons:

THEY STOLE OUR MONEY!!
Do not stay here!!! Then we had 4 of them yelling at us. They followed us on scooters because they didn’t want us to go to the police. Not only that our luggage is covered in ants. There’s also no water. They then came on scooters to chase us down the street to stop us going to the police.
The bedding was dirty so we had to have it changed. Honestly TERRIBLE. Do not stay if you want to keep your belongings. They have a key to each room!!

Not very clean, but overall OK
Pros:

Got room upgrade when I disliked first 2 options.

Cons:

First room had a huge wet spot on the wall. I'm not afraid of mold, but that was too much for me. Second room was not ventilated for some days and had bed smell too. Third room was OK, with nice terrace. Not very clean, but it was cleaned in 10 minutes just because there was no other options :)
So I cant recommend this place because for this price you can find room with breakfast included

100% recommend.
Pros:

Could not recommend this place more. It’s new which is why there’s not many reviews. But best hotel we stayed in the whole time in Sri Lanka and we had been here a month. Big room, clean, tidy, working mosquito net, big bathroom, hot water, aircon and fan working perfectly. Bed is super comfy too. The room was actually perfect for relaxing in, and we did a lot as it was raining a lot of the week. The location was good. 5 minute walk to the beach, less to good food locations, and the hosts were so nice every time we saw them! We’re vegan, but the curry restaurant they have which you can see in the picture, was full every night so it must’ve been good! Honestly a 10/10 place!

Cons:

Nothing really, the ONLY downside was hearing the bread man in the morning, his tune is still living rent free in my head. But shut the bathroom door at night and you won’t hear him.

Exceptional
Pros:

Booked Camellia for one week but ended up staying one month. Spacious rooms, big bathrooms and comfy bed.
The location is the absolute best, 5 minutes to the beach and in the middle of all activity but still not on the main street. I will definitely book it again, had the best time ever with the family owning this place and the restaurant is definitely worth checking out because their rice and curry was my favorite dish day in and day out 😊

Lovely place to stay!
Pros:

Lovely people working here, customer service is their number one priority. Hotel room was clean and renovated.
Only keep in mind that it’s almost next to the streets, but if you want to be next to the beach I guess every hotel will be that noisy. We definitely can recommend this tiny hotel & wish the staff all the best for 2025, hope to come back one day. :-)

Spacious air conditioned clean ensuite rooms with included towels, a small cabinet, and a desk chair.

They are currently improving the place and adding a restaurant.

The location is perfect, and everything is in walking distance.
