Great breakfast and staff. The raised pool deck also lets you enjoy the beach with some privacy from the crowds and salespeople.

My room was on the beach side so my view was directly onto the incoming waves. The room was very basic but functional with twin beds next to each other. The bathroom had on opening onto the hallway for venting so any noise in the hallway came into the room. I would recommend a seasde room as the hotel is directly on the street and there is alot of traffic. Breakfast buffet was very good with choice of sri lankan or western food, which I appreciated. I had a free foot massage for free in the spa which was very good. I then booked a full massage and was informed that the price was appr. 30% more than on the pricelist due to taxes and service. Still not expensive but surprised me. Massage was also very good. The spa itself was just some walls in an open space on the 3rd floor. Simple but was open to the ocean so had the sound of the waves and an ocean breeze.

Was a very pleasant stay here. beds are pillows are super soft, just the type you need after partying all night! very very friendly and helpful hotel staff! linens could use a proper cleaning. I kept getting stained towels every day. I suggest bringing your own towel if you can. Other than that, I would highly recommend this place to any traveler who doesn't want a cheap guest house or a super expensive hotel.

Bansei is located on the main road, near to good restaurants and the coral reef. Location is definitely its best aspect together with the pool. We stayed there for over a week and our sheets weren't changed at all during the stay. Cleaning was done very left-handedly and the floor under our bed looked like it had never been vacuumed. The bathroom was small, hot, humid, dirty and full of bugs. A proper cleanup would have done wonders. Our room was facing the main road and with only glass doors as walls, we needed earplugs to sleep. As others have commented, the staff wasn't very helpful. There were lots of staff members during the day, but everything happened slowly and their focus seemed to be elsewhere. Breakfast wasn't included in the price. If bought separately, was expensive compared to nearby restaurants. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying at Bansei, at least not for longer than a few days. There are better and cheaper options elsewhere in Hikkaduwa.

The hotel is located conveniently on the main road right by the beach. The beachfront pool is the highlight and by far the best part of the property. Reception staff were definitely not the friendliest or most helpful hotel employees we met at Sri Lanka. The room could have been cleaned better. Overall the hotel was of basic standard.

Great location on beach, great pool. Although the room seemed basic on arrival and as a cheaper room located next to the busy road, it proofed to have the necessary amenities (wifi, air conditioning, comfortable bed with 2 pillows each, enclosed balcony, fridge, ensuite bathroom with hot water shower, plenty of clean towels) and we slept very well. Particularly liked the pool with view of the sea and deck for sunbathing and reading. Shame the breakfast was extra.

Had a nice time in this hotel. Close to the beach and to nightlife in Hikkaduwa. Nice beachfront balcony and pool!

loved the pool and just laying by it and listening to the ocean. room is pretty sparse with amenties but you dont need them since you should be outside at the pool. great views and love the bean bag chairs. Short walk to the beach area that you can swim

Nice hotel with friendly staff. Fast check in and clean rooms. Well worth the money.
