DDaniil BessonovGood service! Before leaving they sprayed mosquito repellent, and my girlfriend has allergies. They washed the whole room and changed the bed linen. The room is cozy, there is a refrigerator, air conditioning, but we did not like the mattress, it was made of foam rubber and without springs. Also the hotel is near the road, and in the morning cars started driving and I could not sleep anymore. The hotel is not bad, there are some disadvantages.

DDaxiezhendenanI traveled alone in Sri Lanka for 8 days and 7 nights, and I stayed in B&Bs all the time. This was to control the budget and to get a deeper understanding of the people in Sri Lanka. This B&B was the best one among all the B&Bs I stayed in Sri Lanka. I arrived late, and the hostess and her daughter were waiting for me. The room was very spacious and clean. There was no breakfast in the order, but I spent 5 US dollars to try it and it was not bad. The only drawback is that it is a bit far from the city center of the ancient city of Galle. If you drive or charter a car, there is no problem. When I left, I forgot to tell them that my email address is: ********************** Hope you can write to me!

LLeniGerLocated in the Galle Fortress, very close to the lighthouse, colonial charm, very friendly staff! Double room with 2 beds on the ground floor, rather dark, unfortunately full of cracks and therefore full of mosquitoes, air conditioning somewhat unreliable, mosquito nets for both beds more like a cloth coffin feeling... No kettle, room rather cramped, cleanliness okay, shower with good water pressure and warm, breakfast plentiful and delicious (coffee/tea, juice, a plate full of fruit, fried egg or omelette with sausages, toast with jam all you can eat, really absolutely delicious!

TTalushaОтель расположен в 7 минутах от ЖД станции и 3-4 от авто, в тихом переулке. У станции имеется пекарня, где есть лепешки с соусом, пиццы, булочки, там покупали еду.
В номере балкон со столиком, боковой вид на море и дорогу. Огромный номер с двумя двойными кроватями, вентилятор, кондиционер, шкаф для одежды, два удобных кресла. Есть чайник, чай, кофе, два бутылки воды, в ванной шампунь, коль, мыло. Есть холодильник. По 4 подушки на кровати. При отеле есть кафе и спортзал (для постояльцев бесплатно). Учитывайте, что это верхний этаж и там нет лифта. Отличный инет. Уборка была один раз при заезде.
Все 4 дня ходили на пляж, пляж рядом с отелем мало тени, поэтому ходили чуть дальше, к мысу, где есть пальмы и рыбацкие лодки, и там же знаменитые черепахи.

TTriptacular7Comfortable, budget-friendly stay near the beach. Great value for money.
Tamara Motels is a family-run establishment located on Galle Road in Hikkaduwa, just a short walk from the beach. The location is convenient—close to shops and restaurants.
I loved the motel's design. I was surprised when the owner told me he built it himself!
The room was clean and spacious, with modern amenities, a huge balcony, a nice bathroom, and a terrace overlooking the railway and the jungle. I slept really peacefully there. Even the sound of the train passing by was soothing.
The family running the inn is incredibly kind and helpful.

AAnnaVichWhat a great hotel! Probably the most comfortable room in our two weeks in Sri Lanka. Very nice bed, good sheets and blanket, AC worked well, and the big bonus - a separate shower from the toilet with properly hot water.
The property itself is also gorgeous. The room is small but has everything you need. Also, ours faced off the street so it was very quiet (save for some peacocks at night 😅).
If I had to suggest an improvement, it'd be the breakfast. It was delicious (western) and plentiful but everything was coming out one thing at a time. So it would definitely be good to improve on efficiency. That said, great coffee - also not served everywhere.

RrjyneОтдыхали в этом отеле три ночи, отель расположен в очень удобном месте, ближайший к черепашьему пляжу, черепахи приплывают стаями. Очень порадовало гостеприимство хозяев, очень отзывчивые ребята, организовали хороший отдых. Номера немного устаревшие, но это полностью соответствует цене, мы платили 1800₽ в сутки за номер с балконом и кондиционером, с горячей водой тоже нет проблем. Рядом куча кафе, магазинов, банкоматы. Отдыхом остались очень довольны, большое спасибо ребятам!

Pph37czApartments were so large. There was a private kitchen with some fridge, kettle.
The room was pretty clean. There was an aircon inside and fan (aircon usage is charging 1000 lkr extra). Bedsheets were clean as well.
They also provide a towel.
As for bath and toilet it was also pretty clean. There was hot water but no shampoo/shower gel in bath cabins. There was only one hanger inside and toilet paper as well.
As for cold drinking water they don't provide it. Internet connection was pretty stable.
Located in 15-20 mins walking distance from Galle fort.
The staff was accomodating and helpful.

GGuest UserHidden away nearby from the busy main road in Ahangama this is a really nice play to stay which I can recommend. Although I travelled with members of my family, we all had separate rooms, which look out onto a green grassy courtyard area with the swimming pool nearby.
Jude as the new General Manager is one of the friendliest and most hospitable people in the whole of Sri Lanka and goes out of your way to make you feel at home in the hotel and welcome in Sri Lanka! I was ill with an upset stomach for a few days while there and he was most helpful in getting me better.
Lots to see and do in Ahangama and nearby areas so it's worth staying here!
