위치는 좋습니다.
방에서 냄새가 나서 지내기 어려웠어요
Вид с балкона,отличный персонал,заботился убирал,и охраняли,обходили ночью с фонариками территорию,всегда спросят все ли у вас в порядке.Расположение,все рядом.
Очень не удобные подушки,кондиционер недостаточно охолождал,было душно. Брали номер,для приватного отдыха на балконе с видом на океан,в итоге балкон на три номера,нет приватности,ночью кто приходит включает свет,мы ложимся рано,а кто сидит на балконе и курит,шторы пропускают свет,нет обстановки уединенности,при этом это самый дорогой номер в гостинице.
Posizione, staff gentilissimo.
La spiaggia fronte hotel non è molto bella.
Very very clean and that’s not super often! Without any bad smell even in a bathroom. Grate location without to many people but still next to beach, restaurants and everything needed. Everything is around. Also very helpful staff.
Near the beach. Very nice staff and hostess.
No sunbeds on the beach for this hotel. However neighbor restaurant had, so no problem.

Super Lage direkt am Strand, sehr einfaches aber sauberes Hotel. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich.
Прекрасное расположение, было ощущение, что отель стоит в океане, удобная кровать, выбор подушек, холодильник, чайник, все чисто и все работало, рядом рестораны, магазины, но при этом ночью нет шума ночных вечеринок. Отличный отдых
Should be given a 11 in every aspect
Das Hotel ist am Strand, viele Treppen 1 Balkon übers Meer für 6 Gäste.Zimmer war ruhig alles funktionierte.Pizzeria unten vom Hotel.
Viele Treppen das war alles
Staff very friendly, was able to check in early. Very clean, plenty of hot water for shower.
Bed was uncomfortable for older people. ( Too hard)
Die Lage ist perfekt, direkt am Strand und zugleich an der Hauptstraße. Das Personal ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Die Aussicht ist traumhaft (Deluxe Zimmer mit großer Terrasse).
Leider verfügt das Hotel über keinen Strandabschnitt mit Liegen und auch kein Restaurant. Gut zu wissen wäre gewesen, dass man die Zimmer Reinigung explizit anfragen muss bzw den Schlüssel an der Rezeption lassen muss.
We had a great time. We always return to this cozy hotel, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, attention is paid to cleanliness and comfort. We warmly recommend this hotel.
Personnel hyper accueillant. Très propre et emplacement au top. On recommande à 100%
Tout était nickel !
The staff were very friendly, and offered us a choice of rooms. We chose a larger family room on the upper floor and were very happy with it. The cleaners did an incredible job - the bin outside our door was emptied on an almost hourly basis, and they were constantly sweeping and tidying the balcony area. The hotel is right on the beach, which can be reached by walking down through the adjoining restaurant.
We felt slightly self conscious walking through the restaurant to reach the beach as it was a bit of a squeeze, but it wasn't too bad. It's on the very busy coastal road, so if you're a light sleeper you'll want some earplugs, but we knew this was the case so it wasn't a surprise.
Жили в номере с видом на море, под широкой террасой плескались волны. Вид - замечательный. Можно окунуться тут же. Рядом плавают черепахи. Внизу - ресторан. Комната уютная, со всем необходимым - посуда, чайник, холодильник. Спокойствие и созерцание моря. Заботливый, внимательный персонал.
Stunning ocean view and an ideal location прямо on the beachfront. There are many cafés and shops nearby, which is very convenient. The rooms were clean, and the staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist us with our questions. We really enjoyed our stay.
Everything was perfect, no complaints at all.
The amazing front terrace with the view direct on the sea for sundowners and sunset , huge king size comfy bed, owner & maids super welcoming and helpful. Walking distance (5 minutes) to the surf breaks and all best restaurants & cafes.
All was good. Maybe it could be just a little less $$
Ottima struttura!
Perfekte Lage, direkt am Hauptgeschehen, auf der anderen Seite der Strand. Personal nett und zuvorkommend. Handtücher etc. Wird immer alles direkt ausgestellt. Konnten ohne Probleme 2 Nächte verlängern.
Es hätte zwischen durch mal sauber gemacht werden können. Wir haben bei 4 Nächten aber auch nicht nachgefragt. Auf Nachfrage hätte das bestimmt kein Problem ergeben.

Direkt am Strand gelegen, super sauber und sehr nettes Personal! Die Chefin war sehr hilfreich und hat uns einen Tourguide vermittelt. Auch ein Wasserproblem wurde schnell behoben.
Nice big room. Great restaurants nearby
Perfect location, clean and easy going

Personalul
Camera rezervată era cu vedere la mare , dar nu avea vedere la mare. Am primit totuși un upgrade la o camera mai mare
Удобный отель для короткого проживания.
Direkte Lage am Meer. Auch vor dem Hotel war man direkt auf der Hauptstraße und konnte die vielen Restaurants nutzen. Besonders empfehlenswert das italienische Restaurant direkt unter dem Hotel. Zimmer mit Meerblick war toll, ebenso die Terrasse.
Bei Sturm kann das mehr schon etwas aufbrausend und laut sein. Hat uns jetzt aber so nicht gestört. Zum Baden im Meer muss man ca. 500m links oder rechts gehen. Direkt am Hotel ist es nicht möglich wegen der vielen Felsen.
Stanze comode, letti comodi, attaccato al mare, terrazza bellissima, a dx c'é un ristorante bar buono x pranzo cena colazione, signora Nimi gentile e carina. Tutti gentili. Rappoeto qualità prezzo ottimo
Spiaggia di hikkaduwa é molto stretta con poco spazio x i lettini prendisole.
Very good value for money. If you want the Ritz go pay ritz prices
Great location, right on the beach
Room a bit smelly and all surrounding a bit grungy
La stanza era pulita. L’hotel é fronte mare con accesso diretto alla spiaggia. La proprietaria é stata super gentile ed essendo bassa stagione ci ha fatto rimanere più a lungo rispetto all’orario previsto dal check out.
Great location, right on the beach and close to all the shops and restaurants. Good size apartment with 2 rooms , kitchen and bathroom. Large outdoor deck with table , chairs and loungers Owner was very friendly and helpful
No mention ,that I could find , on my booking that getting the air conditioning control would cost my an extra $15 per day !! We decided to just use the fan which was fine as the weather was cloudy and the sea breeze kept us comfortable .
Amazing beach front view
Nothing
That it was on the beach and the woman running it was very helpful and a pleasant demeanour.
Location..
The flush in the toilet wasn't flushing properly.. Needed to be doubled
The facility was in the beach front. Nice touristy area.
Basic facilities in the room. I assume that is what offered for the price. Lighting was limited.
Clean, well equipped rooms, amazing location and very friendly people.
Everything was good.
Nice basic hotel, centrally located, just in front of the beach. Downstairs there is a lovely restaurant,where you can sit with your feet in the sand. The lanlady a very sweet woman
My room had a window that it could be not open, perhaps not all the rooms are the same, anyway,for the price I paid,It has been an excellent and clean location.
I recently stayed at Hotel Apollo and had an amazing experience. As a solo traveler, I was looking for a comfortable and welcoming place, and this hotel definitely delivered. The double room I booked was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home.
All good
Location perfect...right on the beach. Room clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful
Not applicable
The property is on the beach with a perfect location for everything you need in Hikkaduwa. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The staff are very nice and we really appreciated all the good talks with them. The restaurant connected to the hotel is also really good, with proper italian cuisine. (Try the pizza, trust me)
Nothing
I recently stayed at Hotel Apollo and had a pleasant experience. The location is ideal, offering easy access to nearby attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in smooth and providing helpful recommendations for things to do during my stay.
Nothing all was good
Beach location. Lovely staff. Fridge in room. Turtles laying eggs right beside the hotel.
Power cuts - not the hotel’s fault but maybe they need to invest in a generator.
The Hotel is at a great location and is actually much nicer than on the pictures. Local owner and staff are super friendly too. A home away from home
Very peaceful and clean place, the staff was friendly and helpful. They didn’t serve breakfast, but there was plenty of nice breakfastplaces just around the corner. Great location!
The hotel staff are incredibly friendly and efficient. The rooms were immaculate and very comfortable. Worth for the money and the location was absolutely perfect within walking distance to the beach. Simply love it!
Location superb and we had the apartment with its own large terrace with sun beds and overlooking the beach.
The hotel was obviously preparing for the season so quite a lot of maintenance being done.
Amazing place! The view is gorgeous, the panoramic window overlooking the ocean is just a dream. We were received very warmly, they were always in touch, but at the same time no one bothered us during our vacation. We were very comfortable, thank you very much! We will come again with great pleasure!

Location was great and the owner Ms. Nimi was a wonderful host. Me and my family had a safe and comfortable stay. Highly recommended.
Lovely place
The view was the best experience for us. No meals were provided, the facilities were satisfactory. There was a big refrigerator, which was nice to store our drinks.
You have to book the 'Deluxe room with Balcony' to get the sea view (a little expensive than the normal room). Though 'Double room' indicate the sea view, there was no view from those rooms. There were not much of a balcony but a very narrow corridor. There were no tea and coffee provided, though we had the kettle. A/C was barely functioning, so needed to keep it on through out.
A very pleasant hotel and welcoming crew, had a nice room with great View to the beach, the terrace is public but i had my quite area sitting there. Nice Big refrigerator. The a/c was cold and refreshing from the hot noon
Cozy and nice hotel at the centre and on the beach. Room was very comfortable and good AC. Host family is very friendly and helpful.
Best place to stay and superb location and clean rooms and beach also great ☺️
Good location..ocean view rooms are good
Good location with beach access
No comfortable lounge
The staff was amazing. So kind and helpful. The location was awesome too.
The air conditioner didn’t work that well which made the room damp.
Location is nice and so is the owner lady - very helpfull:). Value for money is ok. Good option for your first days before you move more south (monitor lizards can be seen close:)). I do not remember having mosquitos there - big plus!!!
It is kinda basic and the bed was too hard for me:)
Location is amazing. Right on the beach and within walking distance of all shops and restaurants in Hikkaduwa. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
The room wasn’t exactly as expected. Listing for this deluxe double room mentioned seating area, tea and coffee making and a mosquito net, none of which it had. Main reason for booking was for the balcony and sea view which was in fact a terraced walkway down to the beach which also had an area for all guests to wash their feet before entering accommodation. Very warm to sit out there due to a/c units to other rooms. Our view of the sea was pretty much interrupted by another couple in another sea view room who sat at the end of the terrace.
Most sentral in Hikkaduwa. Clean rooms and god value!
Great location
No hot water
The staff is the best, so friendly and always ready to help us. Location: 10 ✅. If you wanna stay many days I recommend you to book the big room (with kitchen). Thank you guys for everything ❤️
Really friendly owners, help with everything you need. We could stay longer in the room until our flight in the evening. The Apollo is right now in the middle off hikkaduwa, but in a quiet place. Close to turtle beach and a big shopping center.
Moskito net
The view of the ocean
The room and the location are different from the photos.
great location - close to the turtle beach, swimming and local restaurants/bars, clean rooms and bathrooms, staff friendly and accomodating even letting 5 of us check in early, great AC and fans
nothing bad to say but maybe a recommendation for mosquito nets?
By the seaside , great owner
beachfront and hear the sound of the sea all day long
Beach has been washed out due to natural reasons
Good location on beach and main road Very friendly peopl
No restaurant Room not cleaned often Cannot pay by credit card
