    The next hotel playing loud music

    Nice hotel but needs a little bit more of care. The staff was really kind. Music unfortunately loud to the near hotels until 10pm but we had fun dancing on the terrasse. If we wanted an early night sleep that will have been difficult. I was afraid in the beginning as they were not so good review but we felt good in the hotel and the room was really confortable. 5 min walking to the beach. But not a beach to swim directly. I recommend to go to the rstaurant La buranella near the hotel. Sweet family there!

    There was a party outside my bedroom both mornings at 7am. People were telling and laughing and playing extremely loud music. I am presuming it was the staff as I didn’t see any other tourists staying at the hotel in my 2 nights there. But you get what you pay for. It was cheap!

    Great location m as it is close to the Doctor’s House and we were going there for Saturday night party. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Rooms were spacious and clean.

    The pool was disgusting and unusable, which for many is a main factor when booking a hotel in Sri Lanka.

    The rooms were freezing cold & crisp, which is perfect in Sri Lanka. Staff were friendly.

    No towels available during the 2 night stay, no hot water, moved from deluxe room due to a/c problem into a smaller standard room with no price reduction. Restaurant never seemed to be open when I wanted to eat

    Nice pool, close to the ocean

    They didn't able to provide the room towels until the night. We had to wait until then to take shower. Also they did only provide just two sugar packets and tea packets for the whole two night I spent. Bottled water only for the first day, and didn't get any water for my second day. There weren't any TV channels in the TV.

    Location was good. Easy access from the Galle road. Walking distance to the beach. Room was clean. Bathroom with Toiletries and good water pressure. AC was good.

    Mould all over ceiling The room isn’t dark at night because they have clear doors so the hall lights just shine through constantly Mirror hasn’t been cleaned in a very long time Electrical noise wernt off every minute that was very noisy I could hear through my ear plugs The noisiest place I’ve stayed in the 3 weeks I’ve been here. More like a 1 star WiFi doesn’t work.

    Very friendly and accommodating staff. The rooms were exceptional and very clean. The bathrooms were spacious and also very clean. The pool is great on a hot day and easily accessible from the downstairs rooms. The menu is very reasonable as well. Overall highly recommended! Looking forward to the next matara visit.
