Beautiful location right near the beach and wonderful staff. Condition of facilities is a little dated, but for the price considering the location not bad.

Nice clean rooms and beautiful view. Staff were fantastic and went the extra mile to upgrade our room on short booking notice. The pool and bar staff were fantastic. Right outside you can snorkel in the reef. Breakfast was a big spread. Only minus was I had to pay a small fee to use the gym. Highly recommend!

Loved the staff's hospitality and attentiveness to guests. The breakfast on the days there is no buffet consists of too much sugar and carbs. The staff needs to pay attention to have more Protein rich food items such as cheese, yoghurt, ham etc. Access to the beach is great. So sad to see so much plastic on the sea shores.

The hotel is dated & needs a revamp. The first room was old, musty & tired. Water marks on the walls, very tired bathroom & poor fittings. The 2nd room was an improvement on the first although dated. Staff were friendly & amenable. Breakfast was buffet style and plentiful but lacked variety. Pool area was clean & safe, although hogging of sunbeds started early 0600! Overall was a satisfactory stay however there are better value hotels along the same stretch of road.

This is a very nice beach front hotel. Popular place since 70s. Close to the city center with bus/train stations, banks/ATMs. Turtle beach also very close, we can feed the friendly sea turtles and take photos. Kids friendly beach area. This hotel has swimming pools. One for the kids also. Good breakfast and dinner buffet with international food items, some local items also daily. Good A/C, Hot water, comfy beds. Some TV channels with BBC. Very friendly staff!! They keep this property clean and tidy all the time. All the guests are very happy with the amenities. Lots of repeat tourist show this place is memorable for them! We will come and stay again. Big thanks to Front Desk staff, housekeeping and kitchen staff. Pool staff make sure all are safe and happy.

When I accepted the room they claimed that I had not paid even though the payment was made through the website. There was no hot water in the shower until after a technician arrived - the directions between the hot and cold water were different. The room looks very old and so does the furniture. The air conditioner dripped water, the mattress sank and would not rest, and in the middle of the night the ceiling fan's switch gave off a burnt smell. Not a good experience at all

Location of the property is amazing! Its right on the beach and around the market. The property is gorgeous and the views are beautiful. You will love the sunset. Staff is alert and very helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Amenities can be better - dental kit was not provided, so thats something they can work on. Overall, it was amazing & I would highly recommend to book it.

What a lovely place to stay! Location is ideal as right on the beach and you have few restaurants and shops nearby. The staff are really friendly and helpful. I really cannot fault this hotel and should I ever visit again will definitely book this one again.

Great location with two beaches either side and very close to some nice restaurants Good pool area but food at the pool bar was not great and a little over priced . Overall the hotel decor is a little outdated but that’s reflected in the price.

The room was stinking & the washroom was horrible, the flush didn’t work & the exhaust made crazy loud noise and had no way to turn off. Horrible experience.

Very run down and not very clean. Way to expensive for what you get. Can not recommend this hotel and the dinner buffet for the halfboard was so bad we didn't even want to eat it, DJ playing very loud music in the restaurant and full of people everywhere. Waste of money! Staff tried to be helpful.

Äußerst freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Lage des Hotels für uns optimal. Sehr schöner Strand aber leider durch die Motoren der Boote eine schlechte Luft, teilweise stinkend.

Hotellet ligger nära revet där det är helt ok att snorkla. Mindre vågor på den stranden också jämfört med den stora surfstranden. Vi bodde i deluxrum med en stor altan utanför, vilket var mycket bra. Maten i Hikkaduwa var mycket billig. Vi åt i snitt för 150kr för två personer och 1,5 l öl.
