    We stayed at a hotel right in the centre of the noise, which made the location super convenient with easy access to bars and restaurants. the hotel was situated next to a supermarket, which was very practical when needing supplies. the beach was very close by and easy to get to. the room was nice with a comfortable bed and air conditioning. the staff was friendly, always greeting us with a smile. the homemade ice tea and pineapple juice in the morning were delicious.

    The bathroom cleanliness, which could have been improved.

    The room was well-designed with lovely amenities and the location was ideal with the beach and shops just a short walk away. A helpful owner gave advice on how to get there during some political issues.

    The service was average, not as friendly as other places, and not interested in chatting unless approached with a question. Breakfast was not included and portions were small for the price.

    We had a wonderful romantic escape! The rooms were very clean and spacious, with excellent lighting and air conditioning. the location was perfect - just steps away from the beach, amazing restaurants, and a large grocery store. We also loved that the staff was flexible and accommodating to our needs.

    The food wasn't the greatest, so we decided to eat at some of the nearby restaurants instead. Unfortunately, the WIFI was also not very reliable during our stay.

    This hotel is located on Main Street, just a short walk from the beautiful Arugam Bay beach. The staff is friendly and the rooms have excellent air-conditioning, which is a must in this hot climate. The garden patio adds a nice touch to the overall ambiance.

    The only thing that could be improved is the bathroom, as mentioned in some reviews.

    This hotel offers great value for money and attention to detail. Located on Main Street, it is just a short walk from the beautiful Arugam Bay beach. The staff provides excellent service, and the rooms are well-equipped with basic amenities. The air conditioning on the second floor works very well, which was a relief in the Sri Lankan heat. Additionally, the breakfast provided is delicious.

    No complaints, everything was satisfactory.
