I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, right by the beach and near a selection of restaurants. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, making for a pleasant stay. The service from the two elderly men was exceptional, providing a huge and delicious breakfast every morning and offering helpful guidance on local attractions.

Overall, a great value for money with top-notch service and a prime beachfront location.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had beautiful large balconies with views of the sea. The staff was incredibly polite and helpful. However, the level of friendliness in service was not as high as I expected for Sri Lanka. The location was perfect, set right by the beach, offering a lovely chill-out feeling, and just a short distance from the bustling area of Hikkaduwa.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel was just perfect, with clean and comfortable rooms that overlooked the beach and the ocean. The vintage vibe added a unique touch to the atmosphere. The air conditioning and hot water were great perks, making my stay very enjoyable.

The dining experience is superb with a generous and delicious breakfast spread, while some room amenities may need improvement.
