the beach could not be used as apparently the waves were too strong (there was a sign of the municipal authority next street over banning swimming)

Nice hotel directly on the beach. No 5* luxury resort but clean and directly on the beach. Nice little pool overlooking the beach. Nice staff. Rooms are ok - nothing fancy but all you need. All in all ok for the price (around 95USS/room/night). Where as living costs are relatively are very low in Sri Lanka (food and laundry or hair dresser etc. are cheap, acceptable hotels are realtively expensive and the hotel standart is lower as e.g. in Thailand. So this for sure is an acceptable choice.

Not for the location, pretty far off from the main area. Sewer smell from the bathroom, mosquitoes and flies in the room with no mosquito nets. Truly an outdated hotel. Thin walls you hear local residents living in the hotel playing in the hallways and babies crying all night long. Pool picture misrepresents reality. Truly an EEEK factor. They are a bit further from the airport than they state.

The hotel is definitely below 3 star/motel. Very dated and hot. The rooms however were clean and confortable except for the water presure in shower. No hair dryer boxes tissues. The bar is hot and humid without even a fan which really does not invite guests to use it. The pool area had only limited banana lounges and had limited space for all the chairs and guests. We were constantly hassled by the street vendors who came up to the pool to sell their wares. The beach near the hotel was dirty with rubbish strewn everywhere.

Nice hotel, friendly staff, always helpful. Pool area is perfect for chilling out after a long flight. Close to airport and good restaurants, it was the ideal spot to start the holiday.

We stayed here for 5 nights awaiting the start of a tour of Sri Lanka. Very good value, breakfasts were good, nice location on beach, large pool just next to beach. Lots of reasonable small restaurants within walking distance but not much else of interest in the area.
