This was the smallest room we had for the entire trip. The room had very basic furnishing and didn’t seem too clean. There was only one electrical point in the room, which could only be accessed by climbing onto the bed. How silly is that! The shower cubicle had stains everywhere and the shower drain was clogged so be prepared... More

We first emailed We first emailed the hotel to make a booking, when they didn’t reply we phoned them to confirm a double room, at 2600. We advised the hotel we would be arriving at 3am after a long flight. The man who we spoke to did not seem very coherent on the phone, despite saying yes we weren’t sure... More

We stayed 2 nights in Silver Sands and had a room with A/C. The size of the room was very good and we especially liked the huge terrace with sea view. Room had a mosquito net and hot/cold water but no TV. Basic, but good and also good price (about 30$). You can directly access the beach from the hotel;... More

I pre-booked one night’s stay here for an early morning flight. I saw a few negative reviews about this hotel but I had no problems with it. It was a good budget option - its older style rooms and facilities but they were clean enough, tho not spotless. It was basic but had everything you needed including free wifi in... More

We stayed here 3 nights in a top floor balcony room which was adequate but not exceptional (no AC). The bed and mossie net was ok, but the bathroom wasn't up to it. The cold tap in the shower needed belting to get it going, the curtain was about to collapse and the drain was blocked, leaving yucky grey water... More

We stayed here twice in Aug & Oct 2011. We stayed in one of the 2000 LKR rooms & for the price they are quite adequate. The mosquito net’s work well but the mattresses are a little uncomfortable. The bathroom is OK & the room is quite a decent size with a balcony. The hotel is located right by the... More

We stayed here for two nights in an AC-room (2600 rp a night). The first impression of the hotel is good. Nice scenery and building. But when you are in the rooms there is only one expression. It's not worth your money. The rooms are dirty and old. I never slept on a bed this bad. The shelves of the... More
