“Has potential but needs a lot of work to come up to scratch.”
Location good for intercity bus stop. Right on the beach. Grounds could be made attractive. A/C worked ok. Great restaurant next door.

We enjoyed everything! The location is charming - with access to the ocean. Comfortable mattresses, fresh bed linen, a rich breakfast, pleasant cleanliness and especially caring staff. From the bottom of our hearts we can recommend this pearl of Matara just a few hundred meters away from the wonderful Buddhist temple on the island.
