My stay was totally messed up from the beginning due to American Airlines fouling up everything they touched. Arrived a day and a half late and Mr. Gomaz and his staff rearranged pick up from airport three times by the time things were done. The persistence of his staff in talking to mishandled bags at Qatar (who saved the day) is largely due to the persistence I believe of Mr Gomez and his staff. I can't say enough about the efficiency, the caring and the attitude of both Mr Gomez and his staff. That's what you call a personal touch and believe me, that's a rare thing. You can't go wrong by staying here. I sure hope I can come back to Sri Lanka and if all the planets align and things work out, that will be the first place I go and stay. They offered to arrange tours and everything with the driver but I had a tour booked and so I had to turn down their generous offer. I love breakfast with fresh fruit when I don't have to shop for it, cut it and prepare it. Top notch all around. This is definitely not a mega resort cookie cutter hotel, but if you want personal attention and genuine smiles, you can't go wrong here at all.

Fabulous stay

Fab, quirky place - each room is very different. Really helpful & friendly staff. Great breakfast, cooked to order and taken by the pool. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach and bars/restaurants. Lovely introduction to our first trip to Sri Lanka. Recommend booking their airport pickup - it was nice to know that at the end of a long flight someone would be waiting for us. Would recommend to others coming here.

Such welcoming staff! The room was huge, the bed very comfortable and the shower offered tons of hot water with lots of pressure. The breakfast was incredible - eggs, toast, yogurt, fruit platter and a big pot of coffee - all complimentary. Nice quiet area.

The hotel is convenient to the beach, dining and the airport. The staff and especially Mr. Gomez were extremely kind and helpful. They arranged a very early 4am car to the airport. Breakfast was excellent. Highly recommended way to start or end your stay in Sri Lanka.

This is a very nice place to stay. Near the beach but an oasis of calm in the hotel. All the staff are very welcoming and helpful. I liked the pool for my water yoga and there was always some shade and sunshine so you could be comfortable.

Good price, but it's an outdated place.

Room was dark and dingey. The whole place is run down and needs work. I stayed for only twenty minutes, then headed to another hotel instead. It's possible that the place looks better in daylight. But to me it was pretty depressing.

I will want to come back here again and again !

A wonderful experience, starting with a warm welcome. Then i saw my fabulous room, which was pristine, with a superb shower room. Very spacious accommodation, lush green garden. Minutes from beach, shops and restaurants. What really made my stay amazing was Mr Gomez himself. He has the gift making each guest feel special and well attended to, resulting in service one cannot fault. My first long haul trip since the pandemic began, an unforgettable experience.

great place close to beach and bars

Great place close to beach. Staff very attentive and rooms very clean. Went with my girlfriend, though the hotel is predominently gay orientated (male mainly). It’s has a boutique feel about it and is very quiet and relaxing. Recommend for anyone looking for a short stay.
