Pros:

The very friendly staff. We can tell they try their best to make our stay nice even though they seem untrained.

Cons:

The toilet smells like drain. It’s not fresh at all. It has mould and really needs a refresh.

We highly recommend the Chariot
Pros:

We stayed for 5 nights in January 2025. The hotel is new with nice architecture and interior. Good ambience by the pool. We had the largest room. Spacious with nice interior and two large double beds and a single. Very good WiFi. No noise from the main, busy road along the beach, trains go close by (rarely). We had several meals at the hotel. Credit to Neil, the chef, who served up one meal better than the other. Dinidu, the manager, and his staff did everything he could for our stay to be at its best. The hotel is small and tranquil.

Value for money
Pros:

We booked a triple room, and the room had two king size beds which was comfortable and had enough room. Tasty food with good quantity. Small but a clean swimming pool.

Cons:

The discriptor mentioned it was a garden view but there was a bare land which did have a good view. We had to pass a unsafty railway crossing to enter the hotel.

Pros:

We enjoyed my stay at The Chariot. Location is great and easy to travel from Airport and it took 2 hours to reach. From Check-in to Check-out, we experienced the same hospitality and personal care. When we said we were tired, and they arrange for us to go to room and then they did the check-in documentation which was great.

It was a rainy day and could not enjoyed the garden much. Unfortunately, there was a power cut due to repair in National power grid due to heavy rain. Team is friendly. Experienced the Sri Lankan food which was great. Architecture was really beautiful and there are locations for the photography lovers. Highly recommendable resort to stay and enjoy your vacation.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

One of the best Boutique resorts we enjoyed in Sri Lanka. It is an 8 rooms resort. but we love their hospitality, personal care, Sri Lanka tasty food. Crab curry was amazing.

We love their Cement look finish all around the hotel with Rustic joinery and antique items. Room is spacious with all the facilities; bathroom is bit small.

Overall, we got more than Value for money for our stay.

Cons:

We had few groceries item requirement and team help me within hesitance. We experienced TV and internet issue, Once we informed, they rectified it.

Pros:

It was my first trip to Srilanka and I had a great deal from Booking.com. I hear about a nick name for Srilanka as "Smiling nation" . I experience the same with hotel staff and other people who I met outside. I highly recomond Srilanka as tour destination, is really safe and Value for money trip.
Location - It is beautiful place with easy access to Main road, Railway station and beach. Safety and privacy is high within the property
Hotel - Architecture was really beautiful I love it. Rooms are sizable. Design is beautiful. Even though it is a boutique hotel, all the facilities are there within the room including tea/coffee and bathroom amenities. Bathroom is bit small. But It is fit for purpose. We had all facilities within the room such as Air conditioned room, TV , internet connection.
Staff- They are so friendlily, helpful and always smiling
Food- Food was great.. Tried lots of seafood.. Recommend to try their sea food platter which is great
Cleanness - It is well-maintained hotel. Rooms are cleaned well.

Thank you THe Chariot Hikkduwa team. I will see you again.

Pros:

It was a great stay in The chariot hikkaduwa.
While we were booking the hotel we worried a bit as there was no much review about the hotel as it is Newly built hotel .
But ,!We were so happy about our selection.
Great team with grade hospitality. Always supportive.
We had a TV issue and they solved quickly and said sorry thousand times which shows the hospitality for customers.
When we ate hoppers I felt the same taste how my mom use to make hoppers . Homey feeling which was great.

We love the architecture of the hotel.
Highly recommend and we will visit again
