"Great place to stay. Very clean staff were great. Only negative was that wifi was out for our 2 night stay. Great breakfast and pool was very nice. A wee bit out of the way, no shops or restaurants nearby, but very quiet and relaxing."

"We had an amazing stay. The family room was spacious and nice. Every attraction is in walking distance, which is great since our kids 7 y.o. and 9 y.o. don’t want to walk too much. ;)
The staff at The Fourt House is perfectly accomodating and made our stay even better due to their heartwarming art. The breakfast was outstanding!"

"Friendly and happy staff in all areas which says a lot about how the hotel is run.
Had my room unexpectedly upgraded on arrival due to a fault found with the originally booked room.
The room I had did have a small issue with the private jacuzzi leaking but no major issues.
Food and drink were excellent throughout my stay.
Highly recommend staying here to anybody wanting a few days of relaxing peace after touring the country."

"Potential for this property is great though it is not ideally located. Huge breakfasts that ranged from buffet to special order based on occupancy.
Upkeep and maintenance is not up to western standards for a boutique hotel. No bar, no washcloths etc.
An excellent and accommodating staff needs support from the management company Asia Leisure in terms of equipment and supplies."

"wonderful staff. We had a very beautiful sea side room on the top floor.
The pool is a bit small but the location to the sea makes up for the small pool.

The place was beautiful design. Thats what I want in hotels. The staff were lovely. Amaan, Viraj and Nethmi were wonderful. This place is an oasis off the busy city street down to the Fort. If you want to stay away from the touristy Fort area on the coast, with a private beach, this place is for you. The only feedback I have for them is be clear about restaurant times. It said on menu in room 6p. I went down 6.15 and was told my meal would take 1 to 1.5 hours. This won't work for families with...

When we got there we had a few demands, I would say we were being a hassle but to the credit of the staff, the dealt with all our issues exceptionally. They couldn't have gone more out of there way. They listened, they understood and they took action accordingly. When we left we hugged them, we toured around Sri Lanka and liked it so much we returned. When we did return, they hugged us. We're back in Australia now and we're talking about going over there again, real soon.

We stayed here on the recommendation of a friend and it went beyond expectations! The staff were just wonderful - you felt so so cared for and about, to ensure you had the best possible time. I really couldn't recommend Rukman and his team from both The Sun House and The Dutch House highly enough!

The perfect stay to end our trip. Staff were wonderful and we loved the Social Hour at the end of the day. Rooms were large and beautiful and the pool was gorgeous. Highlight really was the staff though. Made the visit special.

If you are looking for a quiet place in Hikkaduwa with the loveliest staff, Roman Beach is your place. Only 6 guest rooms and off the main road, this place was a delight. Great breakfasts and a wonderful pool.

Great location inside the fort walls, so close to shopping, dining and historic sites. Staff very so nice and helpful, and the breakfasts, which were different every day and were freshly made local food, are probably the best breakfasts we've had in any country when travelling overseas. Beautifully restored building with tasteful period style decor. Good a/c plus a ceiling fan

The best area to stay in Katudampe is generally around the town centre, particularly near the main roads like the A2 and the area surrounding the Katudampe Railway Station.
This central area offers the most convenience for visitors. It's where you'll find the highest concentration of amenities, including local eateries, shops, and transport links. The streets here are typically bustling during the day, providing easy access to daily necessities and a sense of local life.
For travellers prioritising convenience and easy access to local transport, staying near the Katudampe Railway Station is ideal. This location allows for straightforward connections to other parts of Sri Lanka, making day trips and onward travel much simpler. It's particularly good for those who enjoy exploring independently using public transport.
Couples looking for a comfortable base with good access to local points of interest might prefer a hotel slightly set back from the busiest streets but still within walking distance of the town centre.
When is the best time to go to Katudampe?
The best time to visit Katudampe is during the dry season, which runs from December to March, and again from June to August.
During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty and enjoying outdoor activities. The weather is generally warm and pleasant, providing comfortable conditions for travel.
For those looking to enjoy the beaches and water activities, the December to March period is particularly good as the sea is calmer on the south and west coasts. This also coincides with the peak tourist season, so you'll find more activities and services available.
If you prefer to avoid the busiest crowds but still want good weather, the June to August period offers a good balance. While there might be occasional short showers, these usually don't last long and often bring a refreshing break from the heat.
