Hikkaduwa hotels

Pros: Beautiful well maintained guesthouse with great location close to the beach, shops and restaurants . The rooms are big, clean and very confortable. The staff is friendly and efficient. I strongly recommend to anyone visiting Hikkaduwa

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything was perfect. Villa is on silent place but is near the centre and beach. Room was big and very clean. Garden and swimming pool was very clean too. The stuff was frinedly and they help us with everything. Breakfast was good. This accomodation was one of the best in Sri lanka

Pros: Great location, very kind and helpful staff, beautiful surrounding, big and comfortable room with huge balcony, very easy access to the beach, great breakfast, clean swimming pool.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great Location for us. The staff were friendly and organized transportation at a local rate. Away from the noise of the beach but close enough to for an easy walk to the beach.

Pros: Great location. Great value for money. Clean and tidy.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Fantastic stay. Breakfast was exceptional, the staff were very helpful & friendly and the pool was great. The room was very clean and the attached kitchenette was useful. A 30 second walk to the beach and the shops start a 100 metres up the road.

Pros: The Pool and the staff were very helpful and friendly

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Top Spot, directly at the Beach, super cute House and couple who hosts you so nice!!

Cons: Nothing to complain about, only a little too high priced

Pros: The whole experience was great. The couple who own the oriental rest and their chef were always helpful and polite. The breakfast and meals provided for us in the evenings were both excellent and good value. The sun loungers and umbrellas on a well designed terrace raised above the edge of the beach were of good quality. The Beach here is very quiet and swimming in the sea was great.The covered area was a good spot for meals and again looked out over the ocean. The palm trees in the garden area were lovely and gave extra shade. Our room was clean and tidy and was serviced regularly it had a nice shaded terrace with views to the ocean through the palms. Shower and a/c were both of a good standard (the bathroom having been updated fairly recently). The property is a lovely walk along the beach (about 3.5km) to the center of Hikkaduwa with numerous places to eat and drink on the way. Because all four rooms are facing the beach the sound of the waves overrides most road noise and so we slept really well. This is an older property that has been very tastefully updated with some lovely artistic touches.

Pros: It is great that the hotel is a bit far from the crazy center of Hikkaduwa with ongoing party, the sound of ocean is clear and you can hear it even in your room. The owner and his wife are keeping the place clean and neat, they have a nice old-man who is a Chef and he knows how to cook tuna in a way that you would be ready to die for another piece of it. Cozy rooms, A/C set perfect and keeps the room cool enough, clean and very good shower room, the chairs right by the room make it more comfortable for you, if you wish to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening.

Pros: Staff and location

Cons: This is not good location during off season

Pros: Great location on the beach. Wonderful hosts who really went out their way to make our stay comfortable. Upon request They arranged for a airport transfer from Colombo airport and a 2 wheeler to get around town. It’s small property with only 4 rooms with plenty of privacy and personal attention by the hosts. Special mention must be made of the delicious breakfast they serve consisting of an assorted fruit platter, yogurt with honey and eggs and toast. Great value for money!!

Pros: Villa right at the beach - you feel like in paradise! Located in a quieter area, you are just a one-minute tuk tuk ride away from the main beach. Very clean beach, relaxed atmosphere. The host and his wife and staff are welcoming you like their own family and you do really feel that you arrived in a place with lots of positive energy. There is a security guard making you feel safe all night (and meanwhile being very discrete) and the chef cooks delicious dinner (for example fresh seafood cought by a friend). Extremely clean. You can also book tours, diving and a taxi. The host really goes the extra mile to provide VIP feeling! If you go to Hikkaduwa, you MUST stay here!!!

Cons: -

Pros: Beautiful location, helpful staff and the owner. They still clean up and want to do everything you see in your eyes. Breakfast overlooking the ocean was wonderful. We thank you for everything.

Cons: Big waves in the ocean. No bars and restaurants around the Oriental rest. To Hikkaduwa city center by tuk tuk for 200 LKR.

Pros: A cut above the rest, it’s a credit to Dale and his team that they manage to maintain their high standard all year round and have done for as long as I have been visiting Hikkaduwa which is over 9 years

Pros: The location, the cleanliness, well maintained garden with beautiful Flowers and Trees the Swimming Pool the fresh cooked food, very happy with the service, we will return. An excellent Boutique Hotel, around and about the Asian Jewel, there are many birds to spot, if you are interested in Birds.

Pros: It was a truly memorable stay at Asian Jewel Boutique Hotel. We went on a family trip and stayed one night there. The staff was so nice and polite. They were always helpful. We stayed in Kingfisher room which was very clean and had a private balcony with a great view of the nearby lake. Room was spacious enough. The neighborhood was calm and quiet. They had a little but clean pool at the front. The food was great and we got to know that their restaurant is much popular for nice food.

Cons: It would have been great if there was a shower cubicle in the bath and coupe of arm chairs in the room, but these are just minor points when you consider the great service provided by the hotel and its staff.

Pros: Location is beautiful and staff excellent, led by English owner, Dale. Tea/coffee making facility and also has a safe, balcony and excellent shower. Restaurant serves the best food we had in Sri Lanka. We ate dinner there twice. Extensive menu with local and western dishes.

Cons: No eggs for breakfast one morning as they had run out, even though only 2 rooms occupied. We were not offered a breakfast box on last morning when we had to leave for the airport at 7.30. A lot of noise (3 out of 5 nights) til 1am due to a nearby wedding.

Pros: We have eaten at the restaurant of the Asian Jewel for some years but this is the first time we have stayed in the hotel. It delivered everything we have come to expect. Probably the best Hotel / Restaurant combo in the Hikkaduwa area. Staff are exceptional as is the overall service.

Cons: Nothing, our stay exceeded our expectations in pretty much every department

Pros: We’ve been to Sri Lanka many times and stayed in many different places but this easily ranks as one of the favourites, so much so we’ve returned 3 times. Beautiful setting, excellent rooms, brilliant staff and very very tasty food.

Pros: Quite simply this was the best hotel we stayed in on our month trip to Sri Lanka. The room was large, clean and well equipped, the bathroom had all the hot water you could wish for. The Hotel pool was perfect for a swim or just to relax around on a "day off". The restaurant served fantastic food, so good in fact we ate ever meal in it during our stay. All in all a wonderful stay, if your reading this review then just book this place, you won't regret it.

Pros: Very good breakfast (especially when included by booking.com Genius status :) ). Nice pool, great place when talking about the beach.

Cons: Quite dark rooms. Acceptable cleanliness of the bathroom. I don't think if it is good price for this quality.

Pros: The room was nice and big. Great view from the balcony. Breakfast was good, turtles right on the beach practically, good snorkeling, amazing large pool, big enough for laps. Great staff. Good gym. Quiet. Good location.

Cons: There were tiny little ants in the bathroom and coffee making area. Also a few mosquitoes in room

Pros: Balcony with sea view

Cons: It's a big hotel, they do married there and unfortunately my room was on the events spots. A lot of loud music in 2 days of my time there

Pros: Food options for breakfast were good. The dinner buffet was a bit pricey but ok.

Cons: We felt compared to other hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka the price and the quality of services was not excellent. The subbathing area is populated by crows, and there is a dominance of eastern Europeans ’saving’ the best sunbeds for hours, only by leaving their towel there.

Pros: The location and the staff were really good It’s good place for family

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Had to wait in the lobby on our only sunny day there to continually dispute their tries at transferring us to another hotel despite our wishes to stay with this hotel, the hotel we booked 11 days prior and called three hours before to confirm that all was ready. We called three hours in advance only because we had read reviews online that the hotel chain called Cinnamon Hotels which Chaaya Tranz Hikkaduwa is a part of, often over books their locations and tries to excitedly "upgrade" guests to a different hotel, despite their wishes. After continual disputes making our long start at the hotel extremely unpleasant, especially after a long day of travelling, we were finally given a room. After that point, we enjoyed our stay, the beautiful views, the pleasant staff, and beachside.

Pros: The most amazing hotel we have stayed in srilanka . The pool is super gorgeous amazing private beach with turtles visitng the beach kids had a wonderful time very cooperative staff the food was amazing!!! Great variety for breakfast . The mojitos at the pool bar were awesome the rooms were super clean amazing room service cleanliness on spot we loved our stay❤️❤️❤️

Pros: Great location with sea turtles coming up to the beach!

Cons: The crows near the pool were so annoying! They woke me up early every morning

Pros: This is one of the cleanest places we've stayed at in Sri Lanka. Ask for a room furthest away from the train track though as the early morning train can wake you up. Good value for money. Close to everything.

Pros: Very clean and helpful staff. Security is always there at night

Cons: Train can be very loud

Pros: Location

Cons: Cleanliness I killed more then 20 cockroaches inside the room and toilet

Pros: It was by far the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka. It’s brand new. Super comfortable. It has a closed shower. The room has a mini fridge. Everything was super clean. Every room has a shared balcony with a table for each room. Every floor has a shared kitchen with fridge, a brewer to make tea, plates, cups, cutlery. Really handy. The wifi works really well, which is so rare to find. They have a washing machine that you can use for a really nice price not for kilo. The location is really nice, next to the beach and the street with the restaurants but still in a more quiet place. I really recommend to stay here.

Cons: Nothing at all

Pros: Everything was very clean, super simple but comfortable enough. Good location right in the center, so about a ten minute walk from either end of the strip. A good place if you keep to yourselves, the staff isn't going to help you much.

Pros: very very clean and very spacious

Pros: Very clean hotel (both the room and the hotel in general). Tasty breakfast. Large room and balcony

Pros: The bar staff and checkin staff were friendly and accommodating. Pool was clean and nice beach.

Cons: The dining area was almost empty at dinner time however the manager was extremely reluctant to allow us to make a minor adjustment to move a table big enough to accommodate our group (3 people) to be at the side closest to the garden rather than surrounded by empty tables. We could not understand the logic for the resistance considering the low occupancy in the restaurant. Eventually the manager did permit our request. Thankyou.

Pros: My wife and her friend were the ones that stayed. They had a great time! I saw some great beach side pics.

Cons: The Lady answering the phone seemed abrupt and hung up the phone on me on two occasions. A bit rude!

Pros: Worst hotel I stayed in Sri Lanka

Cons: Staff, accommodation and food

Pros: Managing Director was very helpful and friendly and assisted us with late check out and complimentary dinner as we arrived at 5am and missed breakfast on the first day. Excellent service from the Restaurant Captain Lalika and Rohan our waiter. We will definitely come back here.

Pros: Beach.

Cons: Parking the vehicle near the main road. No protection at night. Deserts lack fruits . Service not good in the morning. Drinking water not served at the table. Tea and Coffee not available at the table when wanted them. Charging money to play Billiard is not fair. Inside the room, tea packets and milk packets provided , but they were not to standard. Useless.

Pros: Views of sea3%

Cons: 3% charge for credit card payment

Pros: The pool is perfect.

Cons: The beach nearest the hotel isn’t the best in the area for swimming but it is only a short tuk tuk to the more popular beach at Hikkaduwa.

Pros: We had a very restful time, the staff was always there to help you and always had a wave and a smile always,we would come back again Thank you to all of you

Pros: The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Cons: There was nothing we didnt like

Pros: No alcohol is served. It is on the beach and has a pool but quite ugly. Wanted money on arrival. No welcome drink and not friendly as other places on arrival. Our rooms on road side so very noisy. If you walk down beach the bars on beach were great. The water is rough and strong current. If you have kids go closer to centre we’re not as rough. Must visit the tsunami museum

Cons: Cold feel of the hotel

Pros: Great view and location with stunning room views overlooking the water. Right near the coral so great for snorkeling.

Cons: Staff weren’t very helpful and they charged my card and only let me know once it had been done.

Pros: Great location on the beach near many restaurants. Very friendly staff.

Cons: The property probably needs a bit of updating.

Pros: Location and fully functioning generator

Cons: WiFi sluggish and staff were a bit too transactional

Pros: Location and facilities are perfect! Couldn’t have asked For more! Watching the sun set from Our balcony was insane! Pool is perfect as the sea is a little rough, just also got the coast 300m we swam with turtles and snorkeled the coral reef

Cons: Reception staff weren’t very helpful. Didn’t know much about the local area. Also couldn’t explain to me details of their processes so we struggled to understand why the payment was needed in several transactions adding to overseas fee’s. Food in the restaurant was good but staff really struggled when changes were made to the menus due to allergies. The bacon we also had one morning tasted of fish, where it was inedible but staff couldn’t understand and why we were complaining.

Pros: Lovely stay. Staff were really kind and welcoming and went out of their way to see we were happy. Lovely stay

Pros: We stayed in a super deluxe room for 6 days and enjoyed it greatly. The view made our stay memorable, and were treated to some spectacular sunsets. We selected the hotel also for its proximity to the reef (we enjoy snorkelling), and to the local restaurants and bars. There is fresh seafood and local curries in abundance which we found to be relatively inexpensive. The sea turtles congregate on the beach a few minutes walk away, which was another highlight. As for the room itself, the size was good for a couple, and the air conditioning and fan allowed us to keep the room perfect. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows okay.

Cons: The room is rather dour and could be decorated better to reflect its super deluxe category and pricing. We had mosquitoes getting in from the external vents.

Pros: The staff was really friendly, helpful and very attentive. Room was big and comfortable. Excellent location, very close to the beach and many restaurants. The swimming pool area was really nice too. Really nice breakfast!

Cons: There was no WiFi at all, not in the rooms not in the common areas. The first day on our arrival the room was not super clean, but later on (2 days later) when they did the room cleaning it was ok, it might have been a lack of time between the previous check out and our check in. They were having some problems with the warm water, since it was inconsistent.

Pros: - Location was nice, close to sea, laundry, bars and many restaurants - Awesome pool area, absolute Highlight of Vibration Hotel - different breakfast options

Cons: - Smelly room (!!!!!), first we thought it might be the A.C., but it turned out, it's the whole room :-( - expensive laundry

Pros: I liked the bar and swimming pool

Cons: Everything in the hotel wasn't correct. What I told the staff about negatives, they answered: these are small things. I told them: but these are my needs, and for me it is important. Finally they suggested that I pay all my stay cost and look for another hotel, if I don't like to stay with them. I told them that is a bad suggestion. I think booking.com shouldn't let such ignorant hotels in their list.

Pros: Staff was so friendly, much worth to stay for the price.

Cons: Nothing much to concern

Pros: Sri Lankan breakfast Great cocktails Super friendly staff

Cons: They charged 3.5% for card payments Omelette breakfast could improve in portion size

Pros: Perfect stay, great party Friday night , keep in mind if you want to stay you have to be willing to join the party or accept the party is present in your room!

Cons: No WiFi in the rooms when we stayed at vibration

Pros: Nice room

Cons: Party night on Friday. Balcony with view of building site.

Pros: Staff was friendly and helpful

Pros: The refurbished rooms were great. As was the location.

Pros: The room was large and the decor is gorgeous. The room has a beach side feel without being " too rustic " The bathroom was the best we had during our stay in Sri Lanka. You can stand in the shower and see the ocean as they have a window through to the bedroom - this also has a blind if you want privacy. The room was cleaned to a very high standard every day. The staff were very nice and professional. The location is good - close to everything

Cons: The breakfast is a bit expensive so we went out each morning

Pros: First class service all round. Sea view room was amazing, even had breakfast in the room at no extra charge

Cons: Some areas could do with a little maintenance, but thats being a bit picky for Srilanka to be honest....

Cons: Food was okay but not the best. Less varieties.

Pros: Specious rooms with balcony facing ocean. Super clean Direct Access to beach. Equipped with all facilities Facing main road. Restaurants and food options near by (P&S)

Cons: Check in took around 45 minutes since they could not find the booking. No land phone extensions available in rooms to contact reception Tea making facilities were available but all creamers were expired 5 days back.

Pros: Location,sea view,cleanlings,staff

Cons: No wifi,tv is not working

Cons: Foods are expensive and not valuable for money

Pros: everything: the pool the room (eco budget room which got free upgradfe to sea view) great and diverse breakfast). probably the best hotel i've been is Sri Lanka. also the staff is awsome!

Cons: nothing at all!!!

Pros: 10 meters to beach, the breakfast was delicious, and served at the beach. Very friendly staff.

Cons: The room need a bit renovation. My wife and me were the only guest, that was a bit scary. At arrival a tuk-tuk driver front of the entrance said "this hotel is closed", but I said "I reserved here". Then said "ok, go in" - it was strange.

Pros: the location was good but there are many other hotels around that probably better than this

Cons: - staff was really rude - we could not check in on time - room was disgusting and dirty - wifi did not work in the room - we found hair in the food they served as breakfast (at 10am..), we sent the food back, then they served us another bowl of mermalade and that had hair in it as well
