Without a doubt the place to be as you are slap bang in the middle of one of the best beaches in Lanka. To your right you have the infamous Mambos party place and surfers paradise, to the left the equally infamous Top Secret bar and beach BBQ. IBH houses the type of people you want to chill out and...

Standard and deluxe rooms look nice but they are not worth the money: old and thin mattresses and the air is smelly and moldy. For this performance it is way over-priced. so we went next door to Universal Beach Hotel and got a standard room at reasonable price. At very reasonable price.

The location, yes it is the best part. You're directly on the beach and you can sit and eat some of the wonderful food that they serve, for a good price too! However, despite the good price of the room, I wouldn't wanted to have stayed there longer than the 2 days we were. The bathroom had cockroaches and ants... More

We stayed here as 2 19yr old backpackers for 2 nights in Jan '13. We paid $25 (3150SKR) per night for a double room, non AC. Room - we had #13 on the ground floor. It was a good size with a big bathroom. Cold shower but that was quite nice. The fan was strong enough to keep the room... More

The location and staff makes this an ideal place to stay in Hikkaduwa. It's about 4km from the train station, but the walk down is pretty interesting with cafes to explore. Their ground floor room neither disappoint nor impress in relation to its price, but it's really the staff who make the difference- be it in their conversations, greetings or... More

We spent there three nights. Stuff was strange like "not for customers". Rooms are big but very dark. Location is the best in the city on the beautiful beach and restaurant is serving the best sea food on the beach. Also avocado chicken salad is GREAT there !!!

IBH is a nice hotel located between Galle Rd and the beach and it is about 50 m from road to beach. Rooms are of good Sri Lankan quality and the staff are very friendly and helpful. IBH's restaurant, called Drunken Monkey, is of basic standard, but the service is mostly very good (fast). In surrounding area you will find... More

Bog standard hotel, basic restaurant, for the same money you can have so much more down at SunBeach Hotel. Hotel is right on the beach, rooms are basic with mozzy net's, staff were nice. Most of Hikkaduwa is noisy so where posible stay up high and face the beach!
