Pros:

Отличное расположение, на территории и в номере очень чисто, приветливый персонал. Расположен рядом с железной дорогой, но ночами поезда не мешали. В номере не душно, можно держать открытыми окна, так как на них есть деревянные решетки. Рекомендую.

Pros:

Да в целом комната без каких то особенностей

Cons:

Во первых , полотенца ворсились что не возможно вытираться ими , второе расположение - в целом вроде бы удобно , дорогу перебежал и почти на пляже , но прям под окнами железная дорога, проходящий поезд днем и ночью это было крайне шумно. Ванная комната не имела принадлежностей

Helt okej med tanke på priset
Pros:

Det var väldigt centralt nära stranden och nära restauranger.

Cons:

Handdukarna ”smulade” sig. Det fanns ingen tvål och det var ganska lyhört. Men absolut bra ändå med tanke på priset

A good choice for Hikkaduwa
Pros:

Very clean, comfortable and convenient. The staff were very kind and friendly. They are investing in AC in all the rooms (not that I needed it with their good fan) and painting (although it looked smart anyway). I didn't have the chance to try their massages...maybe next time!
