Viel mehr bekommen als erwartet
Pros:

Ich habe 3 Nächte dort verbracht und war total begeistert vom Service. Man kümmerte sich um meine Anliegen (Wäsche, Adapter und ein gemeinsames Abendessen mit meinen Gästen.
Nochmals herzlichen Dank !!!

Cons:

Die Lage ist für deb Besucher eine Herausforderung.
Aber das Haus bietet innen all das was man nicht erwartet. Vom oberen Stockwerk einen tollen Blick aufs Meer einen Swimmingpool eine Bar.
Ich / wir haben die Zeit genossen.

Pros:

Lokalizacja bardzo dobra, niemalże przy samym morzu, chociaż widok z okna na niezagospodarowany teren z małym bałaganem wokół. Niemniej jednak sama lokalizacja wynagradza wszystko, bardzo dobra, blisko do dobrego baru ze smacznym jedzeniem oraz leżakami Shelton Sea food Restaurant. Obsługa hotelowa bardzo miła i pomocna. Pokoje wygodne. Cisza, spokój, mili ludzie. Polecam.

Cons:

Długi czas oczekiwania na śniadanie serwowane do stolika, a nie w formie szwedzkiego stołu.

Hôtel non recommandé.
Pros:

La chambre initiale correspondait à la sympathique et tentante photo et le Personnel est aimable

Cons:

Difficile à trouver pour les taxis, l’environnement n’ est pas au top… balcon avec vue sur déchèterie à ciel ouvert, immeuble en face désaffecté, voie ferrée au bout de la rue avec le train qui klaxonne de 7h08 du matin au soir pour annoncer son arrivée et pourtant on est pas chipoteur et on s’adapte à bcp en famille …
On a du partir de la première chambre qui pourtant était vaste et propre car la Clim faisait sauter l’électricité de tout l’établissement toutes les 5 minutes …
On a du aller dans une chambre sous la piscine du toit où durant toute la nuit l’écoulement de l’eau passait dans les murs … autant vous dire que le sommeil n’était pas au rdv … avec en plus les travailleurs sur la voie ferrée jusqu’à 23h…
Cette seconde chambre avait des marques d’écoulement d’eau au plafond …
Quand le lendemain on a demandé une réduction au moment du check out le
Patron contacté au téléphone à à peine proposé 10% alors qu’on avait pas dormi correctement durant deux nuits …
Bref toute la famille déconseille cet hôtel ! Malgré le personnel souriant et gentil surtout la gouvernante.
Ci dessous les photos de l’environnement, celles des chambres intérieures correspondant aux photos de l’annonce.

Großzügiges Zimmer und schöne Aussicht.
Pros:

Sehr großes Zimmer mit Meerblick, sehr sauber und freundliches Personal. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Sie waren sehr bemüht, unseren Einschränkungen wegen Allergien und Unverträglichkeiten (Gluten, vegan) gerecht zu werden.

Cons:

Der Strand war (in dieser Vor- Monsun- Zeit) leider ziemlich verdreckt mit Plastikmüll.

Good Stay with Nice Atmosphere — Few Misses
Pros:

Good stay with lovely live music at the resto bar. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and everything was fine overall. I had requested an ocean view room but didn’t get it — aside from that, it was a comfortable stay

Perfect Location and Exceptional Hosts
Pros:

This little gem is located close to the beach, train station and shops and was a perfect access point for the train south or one stop to Colombo. We booked 4 rooms here as a group of friends traveling and the owners even organized a surprise birthday for one of our friends. They were beautiful and friendly hosts and were super helpful in answering our questions. Rooms were really large, super clean and comfortable with lovely little balconies. The breakfast was lovely and super fresh. We liked it so much, our friends booked it again on the return trip. Would highly recommend.
