Pleasant
Pros:

I liked the beach, the bed and location.
The area by the pool just feels very nice.

Cons:

Staff wasn't all that helpful; I had to carry my own bags.
The place looks quite rundown.
The rooms didn't even have water bottles.
The entire hotel badly needs a paint job.

Excellent budget hotel in Ambalangoda
Pros:

Hotel J exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our stay pleasant from start to finish. Conveniently located on the main road, it was easy to access all the local attractions. The rooms and facilities were impeccably clean, offering great value for money. We were particularly impressed by the excellent views from our room, which were stunning even at night.

The hotel features a unique swimming pool with a net for games, providing endless entertainment for both kids and adults. The food experience was one-of-a-kind, with delicious and well-presented dishes that our child absolutely loved. Overall, Hotel J offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and unique amenities, making it a fantastic choice for any traveler. Highly recommended!
