Great beach location, room upkeep needed
This is a good hotel situated right on the beach. The room had all the basic essentials. We stayed in a budget room. The walls were full of stains and the mosquito net smelled like it hadn't been washed in months. Budget should not mean the room is not maintained. We stayed 5 nights. The food was delicious, a bit overpriced for the serving size but we enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. Over all, a pleasant stay, helpful and friendly staff. I wish I could give a higher rating, but there was no reason to walls of such a nice hotel should be in that bad condition.

Great location, if you can stomach the night noise
We stayed in one of their small cabins nearer to the beach, we couldn’t fault the location as it’s virtually on the beach, and close to the road with cafes/restaurants… but one thing to note, it’s LOUD, every night we had music playing in the beach bars until the late morning hours - up until 5am in some cases.

A/C not working.too much noise comes into the rooms at the front,so much that I didn’t sleep, felt like I was surfing all night the noise from the sea and then there’s the music from the various bars still pumping out past 4 am Great for vampires but others who sleep take note

Staff was attentive and very friendly. The beach is about a 20 second walk from the rooms. Overall everything was clean and well thought-out, will stay again in the future.

Good Hotel Overall, But Could Be Cleaner
Overall, the hotel was good. The staff was extremely friendly. We were late for our check-in and felt really bad about it, but the woman at check-in was totally understanding. Also, I had my clothes laundered while here, and that went incredibly smoothly. The rooms were a bit rundown, and the bathroom could have definitely been cleaner. (There was a massive wad of hair in the center of the bathroom when we arrived, so I am not sure how that was missed.) Also, the decorative throw pillows were gross and stained. I wish hotels would just do away with these pillows altogether. The location is great! It is in a lively area of Mirissa.

Bit of a cat fish.
Felt a bit cat-fished by the advertised photos, the rooms in the pictures were clearly not the ones we were given (I think they have delux rooms with own private balcony) communal areas were very clean and excellent central location.

Brilliant value for money
Nice little hotel right on the beach. Restaurant attached. We always managed to get a sun lounger on the beach, but I think non guests were allowed to use them too. Cute little bungalow. Wifi ok, fell out sometimes. Good AC and a fan. Small room with no where to hang clothes or unpack to. This was the only negative. Really good breakfast, tea or coffee, fruit platter, eggs and toast. For the price we paid I thought it was excellent value for money. We arrived early and they let us have the room at midday.

Beautiful location right on the beach and centrally located close to many good restaurants. Helpful staff and comfortable rooms. Drawbacks were poor water pressure in the shower, and a very other than a couple of friendly staff, the rest of them were young and awkward to deal with.

Dear Sir,Hope you can understand what Budget Room means. With the basic needs, for a cheap price. We have posted all the photos, including the bathroom as well. Its not fair to give a negative review which you simply choose with knowing how the room looks like.

God price, great location
Stayed for 4 nights, first two in a budget room, that was a little to basic for us. Bathroom had ventilation where mosqitos got in and you couldn’t air con that space. Last two nights in a standard room, a lot better then the budget room. Reception was only opened during day, but the seemed to live upstairs so you could get a good of them anyway. Very helpful staff

Riktigt bra boende med gratis vatten
Riktigt fint boende precis vid stranden. Gratis vatten, vilket var ett stort plus. Finns ett fruktstånd precis bredvid hotellet också så man kan lätt kan köpa sig en papaya. Något stökigt på natten, men inte alls så farligt. ACn funkade perfekt.
