Pros:

I stayed at Lavendish Hotel in Galle with my friend on April 13 and 14. It was a very pleasant stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and supportive throughout. The location is convenient and relaxing. Overall, a great experience and good value for money

Cons:

Everything about our stay was very good. Just a small note: the hotel requested full payment at check-in, which was a bit unexpected, but overall the experience was still smooth and pleasant

Très bien
Pros:

Chambre spacieuse avec balcon donnant sur la piscine. Personnel adorable. Nous avons choisi la demi-pension. Entrée, soupe, plat et dessert au Menu. Choix variés tous les soirs. La localisation de l’hôtel permet de se déplacer en tuk tuk facilement. Première plage à 2min à pied

Cons:

La pression dans la salle de bain n’était pas très forte à certains moments

Pros:

The rooms were fine, air con was potent and shower was better than most I've seen in Sri Lanka

Cons:

Although the room was clean, the hotel itself was not. Dirty dishes left in a corner on a corroder were there for at least 2 days. Some of the staff was very dismissive and rude. Location was fine, but not great. Because it's hard to walk the narrow main road without a sidewalk competing with tuktuks, you kind of want to be based very near the strip with all restaurants and cafes, which this hotel is not

Не соотносится цена-качество
Pros:

Номер с видом на океан - это по сути как бунгало, то есть у тебя отдельный вход и есть терраса, также можно позагорать на шезлонгах. Купаться там невозможно - камни. А вот вид на океан и его шум приятно слышать в номере (лучше, чем шум от дороги, который был в основном здании). Номер был большой. Фен, гели для душа, мыло и тд было в наличии. Завтрак - шведский стол, неплохой, найдется каждому, что поесть.

Cons:

Изначально испортилось все впечатление об отеле, когда мы заселялись. Во-первых, нас не очень радушно встретили, обычно заходишь и тебя встречают с улыбкой, а здесь как на таможне: давайте паспорта и все. Понимаю, что это не входит в обязанности, но как-то уже привыкли. Во-вторых, нас хотели заселить в номера, которые мы не бронировали. Мы бронировали три номера с кроватями кинг сайз, в итоге, нас хотели заселить в номера с двумя раздельными кроватями. На вопрос почему нас не заселяют по нашему бронированию администратор отеля сказал, что у них эти номера заняты и, что люди не съехали в положенное время. Вопрос: мы здесь причем, можно же их в другой номер переселить, почему другие путешественники теперь должны переживать. После долгих обсуждений, они предложили нам "повысить" категорию двух номеров и предоставить вид на океан. Эти два номера находятся через дорогу от основного здания и действительно там красивый вид на океан, но само это здание выглядит недостроенным. И кровати все равно там были раздельные. Мы думаем ладно, останемся здесь уже, сил нет. В итоге у наших друзей в номере был ужасный запах канализации, так как они жили на первом этаже, а еще не было горячей воды первый день. На следующий день мы пошли договариваться о смене одного номера, так как невозможно жить с таким запахом и номер дали, только снова с раздельными кроватями.
Расположение отеля далеко от главной улицы. Но мы ездили на тук-туке.
В итоге, впечатления неоднозначные. Второй раз я бы не вернулась в этот отель. Цена-качество не оправдано.

Great comfortable place to stay
Pros:

I came across this place quite unexpectedly while on a business related trip, looking for somewhere to stop and I’m so glad I did!

The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Special mention goes to the food absolutely delicious! The service was smooth and efficient with zero delays, which is rare and much appreciated.

Most of the team seems to be made up of trainees, but honestly, they’ve been trained really well. You’d barely notice everything was handled so professionally.

Since this place attracts a lot of international tourists, there’s great potential to further develop the entertainment and sports areas. That could really take it to the next level.

All in all, a lovely experience. Highly recommended. ❤️
