This hotel is brand new, and the room felt very inviting. The staff were incredibly polite and always ready to assist with any requests, even offering unexpected amenities. The room was quite spacious, perfect for our family of five. Everything for entertainment is just a short walk away, and the ocean is right across the street. While Google's panoramas may not do it justice, there are plenty of shops and restaurants in the area.

This hotel was tidy and located just off the main road, close to a fantastic variety of dining options. It’s primarily a family-run place, and everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette in the lounge. The bedrooms were equipped with air-conditioning, and the beds were comfortable, complete with clean bedding and duvets. The bathroom was spacious and tidy, featuring a high-quality shower. Midway through our week-long stay, the family offered to clean our room and coordinated it for a time when we would be out to minimize any disruption for us! The WiFi connection was sufficient for my daughter to conduct a university interview via Zoom. Our balcony provided a wonderful view of the sea, and I particularly appreciated the adjustable lighting options by the beds. The kitchen was fairly well-equipped with mugs, bowls, plates, cutlery, a chopping board, a sharp knife, a kettle, a wooden spoon, and a spatula (or fish slice, as we call it in the UK). The hob had two pans but lacked a way to ignite the gas. We didn’t bother asking since we were just making ramen, so we opted to use the kettle instead! They also have a cat named Lilah who paid us a visit, and Ruby the dog was always eager for attention and cuddles! Most of my pictures captured the beautiful views and greenery, and there was even a wild tortoise that wandered into their courtyard one evening!

This hotel is quite lovely, just a 2-3 minute walk from the sea, and offers sea views from the upper floors. It’s a new establishment with clean, well-equipped rooms. I appreciated having a mini kitchen, a spacious and comfortable bed, fresh linens and towels, air conditioning, a fan, a balcony for breakfast, and reliable hot water, which is a rarity. The internet connection is good, making it easy to work or watch movies. There's no noise from the road, which is a significant advantage. You can hear trains throughout Hikkaduwa, but that's to be expected. On weekends, music from Vibration can be heard, but that’s a common issue in this area. The hosts are very accommodating, always responding to our requests with a smile. We’ve been here several times, and they consistently greet us warmly and see us off. Overall, it's an excellent hotel that I highly recommend!

We had a great time during our visit. The room was tidy and cozy, plus having a small kitchen made everything so convenient for us. The beach was just a short walk away, which was perfect for spontaneous trips. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating, making us feel right at home. All in all, a delightful place, and we’d definitely return.

This hotel is fantastic, situated in a peaceful area. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the rooms were spotless. They even let us keep the room until noon for our next journey. We would happily return! 😎

I found this experience quite disappointing, especially given the beautiful area. There was no housekeeping or even fresh towels provided. You had to pay for water, and we didn't have internet access for two out of the five days of our stay. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend staying here.
