Pros:

Property was not great. But the staff were absolutely fantastic!!! They were most helpful and outstanding. It is not their fault the property is the way it is. It was cleaned to the best possible but fixtures and furniture need major upgrading.

Pros:

Struttura un po’ datata con una necessità di una profonda ristrutturazione . Personale gentile e disponibile, colazione decorosa ma non eccellente . Comoda alla spiaggia 50 metri.
Noi eravamo al terzo piano senza ascensore con le valige era un problema . Comunque stanza molto spaziosa con un grande terrazzo . Per finire buon rapporto qualità prezzo .

A Cosy and Affordable Gem in Mirissa!
Pros:

We discovered Hotel Vacanza Mirissa through a friend's recommendation, and it turned out to be a great choice for our short stay. It’s a simple yet clean and comfortable spot that ticked all the right boxes for us.

The location is ideal, just a 1-minute walk to Mirissa Beach, with only the main road to cross. The area is lively, with plenty of restaurants and beach bars within walking distance, giving us lots of dining options.

The staff were incredibly friendly, and the breakfast was wonderful, offering a perfect start to the day. One of the highlights was getting access to the pool at their sister hotel, which was a lovely bonus and made our stay even better.

For the price we paid, it was absolutely worth it. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, cosy, and comfortable place to stay in Mirissa, I highly recommend Hotel Vacanza Mirissa. It’s simple, but it has everything you need for a pleasant stay.

Good place for a vacation
Pros:

We found this hotel already on the spot when we lived in Sri Lanka for some time and were looking for new housing.

What was important to us: cleanliness of the room, high floor and stable good internet.

And all our requests were satisfied (even more). The owner turned out to be very friendly, tried to create the most comfortable living conditions for the guests: they provided us with an additional table and chair for work, and helped us rearrange the furniture to make it more comfortable for us. Another big advantage of the place is its close location to the ocean - you just had to cross the road, and here you are on the shore.

The room we found was spacious and clean. A few days later, a couple of lizards started sharing it with us.

It is difficult to single out any objective disadvantages - we only had positive impressions from our week-long stay at this hotel

Pros:

They overbooked and put me in hotel beside called wood lodge next door so what im reviewing is wood lodge.
Bed was comfortable, ac and hot shower were nice. = No tv, no fridge, light above did not work and alot of ants (not sure if thats just marissa)....and a dog waa barking all night (but maybe it was just that night).
I decided to skip my second night and stayed at Galle. Might of done that regardless...

Pros:

The photos on the website were deceiving …the bathroom was quite old and there were ants everywhere, even though the staff were great and they did come and clean whenever we asked. I think we just got one of the bad rooms as judging from reviews, other people didn’t have an issue. The furniture inside the room is very old and dated but bed was ok comfort and AC worked very well. The staff were really nice but hotel probably needs to be updated. It was fair for the price though

Wanderful stay
Pros:

Spotless clean and big room. Perfect location 1min walk to the main beach in Mirissa with all the shops, resturants and beach bars nearby but still far enough from the main road traffic noise. Wanderful staff, very friendly and always greeting you with a smile. Good breakfast served to your table, eggs, toast, jam, sausages and tea or coffe.
For the price i paid, i couldn’t hope for a better hotel.
Will definitely stay here again.

We have stayed at Vacanza 3 times.
Big , clean rooms.
Very good breakfast.
Very friendly, service minded people working here.

Large rooms
Pros:

We cut our trip to Ella short as we wanted to get to the beach sooner therefore booked into this hotel as our prebooked accommodation was full.
Great size rooms and excellent aircon.
As we couldn't check in to our other hotel. Vacanza let us use the pool at their sister hotel and this was just perfect. Really relaxed and they even provided us with pool towels.
Cheap hotel and service was good too

Pros:

Немного не совпало с ожиданиями, которые сформировались по отзывам. В целом хорошо и может даже отлично кроме чистоты и внешнего вида номера. При въезде дали приветственные напитки, в номере не было затемняющих штор как числится (окна выходят на сторону где ходят люди, всю ночь мелькают тени и слышны шаги), отсутствовал чайник ,но принесли сразу как только указали на это, есть стол но нет стульев (это наверное постоянная проблема в отелях Шри-Ланки,есть,пить чай не удобно), есть горячая вода и хороший напор, номер просторный ,ванна просто огромная, бесплатный чай /кофе и бутылированная вода, неудобства с временем завтраков (8.30-11.00) и выезд не в полдень как числится, а в 11.00. Часов в 9 вечера мы сообщили им о раннем выезде (в 5.30) - нам без проблем организовали ланч боксы, очень не плохие (номер был с завтраком). В целом рекомендем,так как цена качество соответствует.
