When we arrived to the hotel, we were tired after 8 hours in the bus from nuwara eliya. The manager shown us clean and nice room, gave us drink, sat with us and showed us the highlights on the map and gave us few useful advices about beaches. We also provided us motorbike. The stuff was helpful, whenever we wanted something, they were ready to advise, show..they like to talk to us.
Rooms were cleaned very good.
Breakfast was ok, fruits, eggs, toast bread, jam, juice and tea or coffee. /I wasnt much pleased about it on the beginning but after 3 weeks in sri lanka's others hotels I have to say this was luxury/. There also belongs small restaurant on the beach to the hotel.
If you stay in tangalle, dont worry to choose this hotel.
/also has a pool and every afternoon you can watch family of monkeys living near :)/

I enjoyed my stay at the French. Everything I asked for was arranged quite fast (laundry,scooter bike rental, Tuktuk). Breakfast was nice, not bad, not too great bit the view at the rooftop terrace was rally nice in the morning. Don't forget to visit Goyambokka beach!

I stayed at the French Residence after there was a double booking where I had planned to stay. The owner was really helpful and friendly, as were the staff. When I asked if I could have a Sri Lankan breakfast they were more than accommodating and everyone made sure my trip was enjoyable. The pool could be cleaner but the rooms were clean and bright and led to a semi private terrace area. All in all a great place to stay!

We came there after good reviews we read about French residence, but were very dissapointed. The room was not as clean as it should be, the bathroom shower curtain coould be changed already as it was ''mystirious'' colours... the pool was not clean at all, even if an old man was walking around it most of the time. The location is not its best also, but at least the breakfast on the roof top was great.

Room tip: the garden view room is actually the road side room

This guesthouse, located 10mn walk from the bus station is located near the beach. The rooms are beautiful, clean, nicely decorated with everything you need. You can have breakfast on a nice terrace on top of the building, and there is a swimming pool in the garden. You will feel great in this guesthouse where every floor has a little terrace. There is also a lounge area where you can read books or watch dvds from a selection there. The personnel is extremely nice and helpful. When I forgot my phone in a tuk tuk, the manager and his staff did everything they could to help find it back (searched the whole area in a tuk tuk with me!) and we found it! A laundry service is also available for a cheap price. Definitely recommended. Tim & Céline
