Low water Pressure

The beach is just opposite the resort. Crossing a train trail will reach Lavinia beach. Few restaurants along the beach. 30mnts to the city centre by Tuttut. Staff is friendly and helpful. I got no small note to pay TutTut, the staff borrow me some small notes to settle the bill. Room cleans, cozy and cold.

Excellent.

Great hotel with a very comfortable, clean room with a hot shower! Location minutes from the beach and by the train line. Easy access to Colombo by Grab, train and bus, and we used here as a base for visiting the city. We stayed an extra night as a Grab to the airport only took an hour. Great staff who were friendly and helpful and we ate at the hotel for breakfast and dinner at very reasonable prices. A sociable area for sitting downstairs with a pool table. We would stay again if in the area.

Great beachside stay close to Colombo

Clean, friendly and helpful staff - even our very late check in. Don’t miss the breakfast on the rooftop with a view over the train line to the beach.

It was a good stay.

The property is about 50m from beach. One can enjoy the view of the Indian Ocean from the rooftop while enjoying food. There's a train track running close and is a source of entertainment. Every time a train passes, we were running to the balcony like kids. Breakfast is not included. All meals have to be paid, which is fine. The Chef Madhu is a good cook. He customised the menu for our Indian taste. The owner Mrs. Stephanie is very cordial, always smiling, and is a professional. She works personally and supervised most of the works. It was our last place of stay in Sri Lanka, and we rested a lot. Made a couple of visits to the beach and the city. The city is located about 15 km. Tuk Tuks and Cars are available and we used Uber.

A decent place to stay overnight, you get what you pay for

The receptionist was exceptionally understanding and accommodating. I stayed here on the st Valentine's night before my flight and the receptionist warned me that the hotel was fully booked and might be loud due to the celebration, but i didn't hear anything and had a great sleep before my departure
