We had a good time at DCanal. The property is nicely decorated, is very clean and has a lovely pool and garden. To say the staff were great would be an understatement. They were very friendly and always checking if we needed anything. The buffet breakfast was lovely and freshly prepared every morning. My only critique of this property is it is a 15min walk to the town & beach but they do provide a free tuk tuk service from 10am to 7 pm. The beach bar pictures shown here are not on this property. Aside from breakfast there is no meals available at the property or around the property so you need to go to the town. There are only three rooms and three bungalows on the property so it is very relaxing and peaceful compared to the busy town centre. The property was surrounded by beautiful lush trees where you can watch lots monkeys and birds. Also a canal that runs along the property has water lizards, fish and birds you can watch as you enjoy breakfast.

D Canal was the highlight of our hotel stays in Sri Lanka. The decoration at the hotel was beautiful and unique. The chef made his own Mango, papaya and lime jam which was to die for. It was definitely the tastiest breakfast we had during our trip. The pool was very relaxing and the staff couldn’t do enough to make your stay enjoyable. There is a free tuk, tuk to and from the property from 10am to 7pm which was very generous. I wish we had stayed longer and will definitely be returning.

Great value for money. Great location. Amazing! 5*

This was one of our best stays in Sri Lanka. Not only the property was immaculate, but also secluded meaning it was peaceful and private. The books we had was very nice and incredible value for money! Service was well beyond expectations. We were really blown away by the friendliness everyone showed us. I would go back in an eyeblink! Thank you so much to everyone. Ps. The homemade mango marmalade is delicious!

Everything about this little boutique hotel was perfect. Only a small number of rooms, but with plenty of friendly staff for everything you need. Quiet & serene, a home away from home - but only 5 mins a (free) tuktuk to get to the town & beach.

Beautiful property, very well decorated and surrounded by nature. It is a little far from main road in Mirissa but honestly that was a plus, they offer a free tuk tuk to/from main road and I much prefer the quietness and secluded area where the DCanal is located. Very good breakfast, super friendly staff and a very authentic experience. Loved everything about it!

Beautiful haven surrounded by wildlife

Really beautiful haven in Mirissa, sitting right on the river and with a lovely pool. Sitting on the balcony, we saw monkeys, lizards, bats and a woodpecker. The furniture was all beautiful and they'd thought of everything, it was very comfortable and the AC was very powerful. The manager couldn't do enough to help, giving fantastic food recommendations, arranging free tuk tuks to get to town and welcoming us to use the pool after we'd checked out

Some pluses, some minuses

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Willing to make any arrangements we needed, which was super helpful. Away from the beach which was nice and quiet. Free tuktuk use to the junction was a bonus. Swimming pool was like a hot tub- not at all refreshing - rather just for getting wet then getting out before overheating so that the breeze could cool us off. Room was massive. Bed was comfortable - loved the mossie net around the bed. Room did not get made up or cleaned during our two night stay. Towels were a bit smelly once they were used. Curtains across the doors and windows were badly hung (? Falling off) making them very very hard to open, so gave up. Lighting in the rooms is horrible to actually try and see by, would probably call them romantically dim. Shower was great. Breakfast was a good selection. Lovely garden.

Excellent hotel with extremely friendly and helpful staff. I spent two nights here and everything about the hotel was great. The room was clean and spacious with a large balcony. The breakfast was excellent and the swimming pool is lovely. The hotel is set in a mini oasis with plants and trees everywhere which are lit up a night. It’s about a 15 minute walk from the main road however the hotel provide a free Tuk tuk service to the main road until 7pm. I never felt unsafe walking back to the hotel at night and all the locals are very friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel and would like to say a big thank you to Pria and the rest of the staff who made me feel very welcome during my stay and also organised an early morning canal tour along the canal which backs onto the hotel where I saw a variety of birds as well as water monitors.

First of all a huge thank you to the team; Milan, Dinudu and Pryinka for making our stay amazing. This is by far the best hotel in Mirissa and you receive a five star service. He accommodation is super clean and the rooms are well equipped, spacious and beautifully decorated. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and the pool area so tranquil. I would highly recommend.

Such a peaceful, friendly place

Little out of the way, out of the bustle of Mirissa main road, but such a peaceful getaway. The hotel and its premises are so nicely done. We could just relax there all day. Wake up late for a nice leisurely buffet breakfast laid out so lovingly by the friendly staff, spend some time looking at wildlife, take a free tuk tuk down to the beach for lunch and wander back to spend the evening at the pool with some dinner from town. We had a great time. High recommendations to the staff for making us feel so welcome

need some improvements

hidden oasis away from the busy main road Mirissa, interior design was exceptional (as seen on photos, but not as big), however naming as "boutique hotel" only stays with the hardware, The friendly multi task old man that cooks breakfast, calls tuk tuk, gardening and etc. seems to be the only person working, and he's around the property until 7pm, you only see front desk manager on duty during morning for payments, meaning you'll mostly find the entire place left alone. This place is absolutely stunning settled beside a canal surrounded by nature at first glance, but if you take a look at the entrance of the house, the canal is trashed with cans and plastics, which makes me sad. If the owner can do a little further, I'm sure the place can remain its high ratings.

Peaceful oasis and close to Mirissa!

Our stay at the D Canal house was amazing. We have stayed at a range of places throughout Sri Lanka — D Canal house was the best of all of them. The houses are amazingly furnished with the most beautiful showers I have yet experienced. For dinner you are close to the best roti house in Mirissa and the pool is amazing to lounge in while watching the local wildlife. Mirissa is full of energy and noise... the D Canal house helps you escape from this where you get a chance to relax in peace. The staff were delightful and the most cheerful! We would come back here in a heartbeat! Thank you D Canal House!

Ein kleines schönes Hotel mit wenigen Zimmern/Appartements und toller Lage. Nicht umsonst gibt es in letzter Zeit fast nur positive Kritiken und ich finde, das ist auch richtig so. Das Hotel hat einen sehr schön gestalteten Garten und auch die Zimmer sind stilvoll eingerichtet. Das Personal hilft Ihnen bei allem, von möglichen Programmen über gute Restaurants bis hin zu Reisen. Auserdem gibt es einen kostenlosen Tuk Tuk Service bis zur MainStreet. Wir hatten geplant, zwei Nächte zu bleiben, blieben aber letztendlich drei. Wir hatten hier die beste Zeit auf Sri Lanka. Als einziger negativer Punkt kann erwähnt werden, dass die Beleuchtung in den Zimmern leider schwach ist.

The tuktuk service to the main road is a very nice thing to have, tho' we usually walked, wich wasn't that bad either. The rooms were big and nice, the pool area was also very nice.
