Hikkaduwa Hostels

It was the amazing place i have visited. Had a great welcome from front line staff. Room is perfect and had a great view. Dinner and breakfast was amazing and very tasty. Breakfast bufet had a wide selection of western and local food. I requested to arrange a birthday cake at the breakfast time and they were arranged a tasty cake with special birthday surprise. Overall can be give 10 out of 10.

The Hotel staff are what makes this such a lovely place to stay . It does need a bit of TLC in places( our bathroom could’ve done with an upgrade) but overall our room was comfortable and clean . We had a top floor room with a fabulous view of the Indian Ocean. There was always a good choice of food in the restaurant every day and the staff were always helpful- special mention to Chinthaka who was always so attentive to us and made the dining experience so much more enjoyable - Thank you ! He is a real asset to the hotel . Also a mention to Gerard in the restaurant . The hotel location is great- direct access to the beach and across the road from a large supermarket . We would definitely go back - It was a lovely experience and we would recommend to anyone for a relaxing and value for money holiday .

The hotel is an old star hotel. The big hotel that is relatively far away will be much quieter. The swimming pool will not be like dumplings, there is a private beach, breakfast 48 yuan is not worth it, nothing to eat, every day depends on eating fruit. The staff is good, they all smile, and the beaches of the turtles are very close. The nearby MAMAS is also good for eating.

The hotel, to put it mildly, is very tired, the elevator has not been working for a very long time, there is no cleaning in the room, you have to ask to change the towels, if you throw them on the floor this does not guarantee a replacement, they will pick you up, fold them and put them on the bed... During the season, breakfast is a buffet and they are not bad, but in the off-season the breakfasts are very meager... The coffee is simply disgusting, I have never encountered worse anywhere... But all the shortcomings of the hotel are offset by its location! The best beach, beautiful ocean! And you can simply close your eyes to all the shortcomings and enjoy your vacation! By the way, there are only 10 sun loungers in the hotel, keep in mind...

Hikkaduwa Saffron Hotel was the first hotel on our trip, so I took a lot of thoughts when choosing it. Those who like antique hotels, please come, the cabinet bed, Luohan bed desk, meet all your requirements for retro quality, full of ancient flavor. However, modern washing and air-conditioning facilities will not make you feel that life is inconvenient, and we chose the second floor room, which is super large and has a good view. When we wanted to change to a double bed, we added a single bed for free without saying anything, so we had a good rest. The service of the hotel is very good, we go snorkeling after checking out, and we can go back to the hotel to take a shower. The disadvantage is that the price is small and expensive.

We had a very nice stay at the Riff. I arrived early so the staff kindly helped me use thr library which was very comfortable until the room could be allotted. The food is the best. The chef is amazing and we enjoyed Srilankan and International cuisine. The juices so fresh and we just couldn't get enough of the food. It is so good that we never wanted to eat outside even though the hotel is conveniently located near so many bars and restaurants. The desserts are not only visually appealing but super tasty. We used the SPA, this needs improvement definitely but I am sure they can in due course. On the rooms, good size and amazing views of the Indian Ocean and the beach is lovely. The staff is lovely like all people in Srilanka. However, the bathroom door is all glass opens towards the bedroom, generally in hotels bathroom doors entry is through the foyer area. There is a blind that you have to keep rolling up and down incase u need to get in and out of the bathroom. Very inconvenient. If there is scope, they should work on improving this as this causes a lot of inconvenience while sharing the room and at night could be disturbing with rolling up and down of the blinds to get in and out of the bathroom.

The Tamara Motels,we just remember this name for the best place in Hikkaduwa. Before we went their we heard and read lots of comments and reviews about this motel. When we come over there we realized yes everything is true. We have stay for a three days for at this hotel. Stepping through the garden, i was immediately struck by the beautiful and friendly reception area. Light, airy and very spacious...very welcoming atmosphere. The staff throughout the hotel were very professional, friendly and extremely helpful. This is a family business doing by mother son his wife and cute little baby. They always greeting and smiling to us. They are very helpful and give us the best option for everything we need. The breakfasts were amazing. It is not like other breakfast we had. Bread toast and omlet in it. Its very delicious.The location of the hotel is great. The room was very spacious and well equipped with all essentials. I have no hesitation in recommending this place to the tourists who want to go to Hikkaduwa. Will be back to this place soon..!!!

We absolutely loved this hotel from start to finish. We had a beautiful room with sea view, the pool was fantastic, the food was the best we've eaten in Sri Lanka, but what made it for us were the staff here were just outstanding. Each and every member of the team worked so hard to make their guests happy. They greeted us with smiles, were helpful and so very friendly. The manager Warna is wonderful, couldn't do enough and we loved our chats with him. Sugath's smiles around the pool, attentive at every moment to us and kind to our daughter, getting drinks, towels and balls for the pool (he even cleaned our tuk tuk rental for us!) Sampath was courteous at meal times, explaining the different dishes and Kalani made us welcome from the start as did all the staff here who helped with our bags and kept our room wonderfully clean, I wish I could name each individually as they all deserve a mention! We ate at the hotel as the chef took the time to talk with the guests and he put my mind at rest that he would serve Sri Lankan food that wasn't too spicy for us. The food was wonderful! It was a pleasure to stay and eat here. Overall, with only 6 rooms the hotel feels peaceful, it's quiet around the pool and beach, but it's not too far from the main town for the restaurants and shops. Pool is perfect with shady spots during the heat of the day, plenty of sun loungers and right on the beautiful beach. Rooms were bright and spacious with great air con comfy beds and a huge bathroom and balcony. We couldn't have wanted for more. Thanks to all of you for making the last 3 nights of our holiday very memorable! I hope we can return to Hikkaduwa and Roman Beach Hotel.

I stayed few times at this hotel of which one time 2 months. It is central and close to everything. The rooms are very comfortable and there is also a communal kitchenette. The owner gave me access to the gym for free which was ofcourse a great service. I had room number one which gave me full view to the ocean as well as the backside village which I really enjoyed. I highly recommend this place
