Reviewed Jan 19, 2025Near the beach ( I think Mirissa is better) and the fruit seller.
Near the beach but so far is the walking street with retaurants. You have to walk on the road, and after sundown is little bit dangerous. The photos are old I think, because this is the shabby hotel/homestay. We were there 3 nights and there was no cleaning during this time (garbage disposal etc) There was no hot water, we ask, but they failed to turn it on in any time. The door can be locked from the outside with a padlock and from the inside with a slide lock, so it's as if it were open, noise, light, everything filters in. The window cannot be opened because of the mosquitos. And there is only a blackout curtain, which you do not pull, because then they can see in from the neighboring balcony, so there is no natural light in the room The breakfast is 6 USD/person, it is little bit expensive. I do not understand the all good valuation, the accomodation could use a renovation.

Reviewed Mar 14, 2024First of all - the pool, it was great to have it on a super hot days and be able to cool down and enjoy the shade. I swam in it every evening just to cool down from the heat too. pretty good location to walk to several beaches, catch the bus to other towns on the south coast and also walk to the main part of town for dinner. Very friendly and helpful manager :)
The only redommendation I'd have is to update the bedding as it had slightly dampy smell to it. Also, Unawatuna is just infested with rude Russians so anyone who is planning to stay in this town, should be aware of it.
