Mermaid Inn

Facilities and location were excellent

They had curfew (yes, like in a boarding school), so we couldn’t arrive later at night, and they didn’t tell us in advance, so one night we almost got locked out, just because we weren’t told. Also, they did not speak a lot of English, and it was hard because they did not make much of an effort to use their translator to help us when we needed.

The stay at the Property was pleasant, but some experiences were bad.

The A/C in the rooms was not working Bathroom doors did not have locks An extra bed for an 11-year-old child was not offered. The staff tried to justify that the AC is the best and why there was no latch to the washroom Overall, a mediocre experience.

It was a comfortable and nice stay

The Mermaid Inn Mirissa is tucked away from the main street yet only 10 minute walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. The rooms are spacious with huge beds and spotless clean white bedding which is changed along with the towels every couple of days. The rooms however are cleaned daily. There is a small fridge in every room and a kettle. Small amounts of teabags and coffee are provided. The rooms are air conditioned along with a ceiling fan. The bathrooms are quite large and also very clean. We had piping hot water throughout the day. On the shared balconies each room has a small table with 2 chairs. A clothes drying rack is also available for each room. Downstairs behind reception is a washing machine for guests to use, you just supply your own detergent. This was a boon after travelling for 2 weeks prior to our Mirissa stay. Dayani and Dambulla who own the hotel are friendly and gracious hosts. Upauli who works for them is friendly and despite his limited English and our more limited Sri we managed ok. He works tirelessly from 6am in the morning tending to the lovely gardens and grounds before moving on to cleaning the bedrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, it's a gem of a hotel for a very good price Would definitely return.

Отличное место для отдыха, прилетаем на Шри Ланкау, всегда останавливались в этом уютном отеле. Для проживания есть все, горячая вода, кондиционер, кухня, обеденная зона. Тихо и спокойно, нет рядом шумных заведений. Очень чисто, хозяин отеля замечательный, дружелюбный человек. Я много путешествую, бываю в разных странах мира, и сам знаю, что честный отзыв, играет большую роль, в месте, где останавливаешся. Так вот, мой отзыв, в точности отражает действительность. Есть холодильник большой, стиральная машина, в номерах убираются и меняют постельное. На кухне есть все, для приготовлегия пищи. Рекоменлую к остановке, как на долгий срок , так и на короткое время. До пляжа 7 минут пешком, не торопливым шагом.

Все было хорошо.

Great location, 10 minute walk into town and beaches. Room was very clean and area was quiet. Outside area was lovely and relaxing. Would stay here again.

Very clean, well maintained room and bathroom Nice, quiet area with lots of amazing restaurants and cafes nearby, yet close to the beach (~10 min)

Everything was great

Sehr sauber und neu. Es wird täglich gereinigt und es gibt einen Kühlschrank :) Außerdem war es möglich Wäsche zu waschen.

Alles super :)

Great location, only 5-10mins walk to Mirissa beach, 30min walk to Turtle beach where we snorkelled and saw a green turtle! Staff were friendly, the room was spacious and clean, comfy bed and good shower. Within 10mins walk of many good restaurants too

Staff werent always very responsive to messages if we needed assistance and not always someone at reception

Lovely property, kind hosts and the room was spacious and clean. It’s a short walk to the main street, so close to the beach, restaurants and bars. We had breakfast one morning too which was tasty and filling.

It's a quiet little guest house in Mirrisa. The room was nice and spacious. Amenities like towel, kettle, mini fridge, tea and coffee were provided. Close to all the good restaurants and cafes. We were out the full day exploring mirrisa, welligama so we just needed a basic room to feel in for 3 nights so overall it was a wonderful stay

If you don't have a bike or scooter it's a little far from the main road and beach 8-10 min walk. The guest house should provide a few more extra bedsheet or blankets because with the AC on it gets a bit cold in nights

Great location, walking distance to the beach and other areas of Mirissa. Clean, comfortable and spacious room.

It was clean

Staff very cold approach

Hezké ubytování Blízko centra V blízkosti výborně restaurace Cca 15 -20 minut od pláže Snídaně pro 2 osoby za 7$ průměrná

Ubytování v zatáčce - každé auto, které projelo troubilo

Nice place, good restaurants nearby, near beach (10-15 min walk).

Breakfast was ok, to much European

Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und konnten sogar schon um 6 Uhr morgens einchecken. Das Frühstück mit Omelett, Pancakes, Früchten und Toast war sehr gut. Vielen Dank an die hilfsbereiten Gastgeber, die immer ansprechbar waren. Selbst die Waschmaschine konnten wir umsonst benutzen.

Persönlicher Kontakt mit den Hotel-Eigentümern - die jederzeit für uns ansprechbar waren. Täglicher exzellenter room-service. Familienbetrieb! Gutes reichhaltiges und abwechslungsreiches Frühstück. Gute Restaurants jeglicher Preislage fußläufig erreichbar.

da fällt uns gerade nichts ein, muss ja auch nicht🥳

Le logement est très bien placé et les chambres sont spacieuses

Good beds, mosquito nets, aircon, decent shower. Lovely staff and garden.

Beautiful property, very clean, not far from restaurants and other activities. Nice & happy host.

Nothing

Mooi, sfeervol klein familiehotel. Ruime, schone & mooie kamer. Het echtpaar en de man die er ook werkte waren zeer vriendelijk. Fijn waren oa ook de klerenkast, grote tafel, 5lt flessen water (voor gewone winkelprijs), het grote terras met droogrek en goede stoelen. Lekker & wisselend ontbijt. Leuk buurtje.

De warme douche gaf een dun straaltje

Incredibilmente bello! Accoglienza molto gentile. Personale disponibile e premuroso.

Best stay in Srilanka so far

La struttura era pulita e accogliente e l'host è stato gentilissimo!

Niente

La habitación grande y limpia, con una buena ubicación cerca del centro. A destacar la amabilidad del personal.

The property has good location, around 10/15 min to the beach. There are a few restaurants in the surrounding. The staff was helpful and nice. Apartment was comfortable with equipped kitchen.

Shower drain was quite slow so the bathroom got wet quite wet.

Amazing value for money. The owners are so kind - they arranged a scooter for me and my boyfriend and we were able to park it on their driveway so it was safe during the night. Also, we stayed during the Sri Lankan New Year and on the morning of NY they made free breakfast for us which was kind of them but also very thoughtful because most restaurants are closed on that day. Apart from that, the room was spotless, the AC worked as it should have and the balcony area was just another thing that made us fall in love with this place. We stayed in 7 other places prior to this one and it was definitely our favourite. I can honestly recommend booking this place when visiting Mirissa. Thank you!

Amazing breakfast and host, great first experience in Sri Lanka being introduced to all the local options Comfy beds with good a/c

I loved the room which was really big and the owners were fabulous and very helpful.

The location was ok but it is certainly not a quiet street and there was a constant stream of tuk tuks a bikes coming down almost hitting me all the time. Also for 3 of the nights I was there I got kept awake by dogs barking all night!

Really lovely place. Staff are really helpful. I loved my stay here

The host family were so incredibly kind. The room was lovely with all the amenities listed. The location was perfect for me. It was a quick walk to the beach but on a quiet road. Would very happily stay there again. Because the family have so many tall mature trees it is also a lot cooler in the garden which was a welcome treat on hot days.

The staff were all so pleasant and helpful. Beautiful building and furniture. Very comfortable beds, aircon, and mosquito nets. A bonus of a private kitchen with refrigerator.

Nothing!

The family that owns this hotel is so sweet, the bed was comfy, spacious room and bathroom :)

Nothing

We were able to do our laundry for free which was very convenient The staff is very helpful and the location is great 100% recommend

Super friendly hosts. Clean. Good location. Nice property.

Quiet location. Clean and comfortable room. Water heater is nice. Walkable distance to shopping, cafes, restaurants and beach.

Needed to ask for toilet tissue refills after staying multiple days. It would have been nice if it was restocked regularly.

-Lovely elderly couple managing the guesthouse - i felt like i was staying at granny’s house -Great location -away from busy road- yet close to many cafes -comfy mattress -warm water for shower available

- there was an issue with the sockets in my room- i had to charge my devices in the reception area- didnt bother me much; but would be a good thing to change the sockets 👌

The host made such an effort to help us celebrate our honeymoon. Room was perfect, good WiFi, kind hosts which helped us do our washing. Would highly recommend.

Spotlessly clean and useful amenities such as the shared kitchen for basic self-catering plus drying racks for wet swimwear etc. A great location near amenities but away from hustle and bustle of Mirissa town. Thank you for a great stay.

Spotless. Lovely garden. Good location just a bit away from the busy strip. Kind hosts. Everything was perfect.

Nothing.

The place is well maintained and in a good location. The rooms are very nice

The owner threatened few times he will kick us out because of our kids noise. So if you come alone or with a partner it's great, with kids think twice.

Everything was fine, but room was a little small.

One of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka, great value for money, super helpful staff, big rooms including a big ensuite with plenty of hot water. They offer laundry service too. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night, would highly recommend.

A great stay in this centrally located Mirissa accommodation less than a 5 min walk from the beach. Incredibly priced, the room was spacious, spotlessly clean and a decent aircon system that was required during our stay. The lovely family running the place were responsive to all our needs. We would recommend to anybody planning a short stay in Mirissa.

nothing - great.

The couple that owns the accommodation is really sweet and helpfull. When my wife had a medical emergency they drove us to the hospital. The rooms are cleaned every day. Location was good. Close to some restaurants and less then 10 minutes to the beach.

The personell is very friendly and nice. The house looks Beautiful and the entrance, gate and garden is nice. You get a bottle water in the room.

The room ia crazy hot, no AC, only fan and prob 4-5 degrees hotter than outside and is very humid. Had to sleep with fan on full speed - which make it sound like an helicopter. The electricity is out several times - and then you hear then flicker with the electricity box and fan comes and goes. Shower had mostly cold water and no toiletries and is also in poor condition.

Lovely host, great value for the price, really good location - set a bit back from the beach where it is a bit calmer. Near a convenience store and great restaurants, would stay again.

This was an exceptional find just a 3-5 minute walk from the centre of Mirissa town. The place is really nice and looks better in person than in the photos. The rooms were spacious, have great air conditioning and an exceptionally tidy bathroom. The bed/mattress was one of the best we’ve come across during our time in Sri Lanka. The owners are friendly. There are tonnes of eateries just 2-3 minutes walk away. Would happily stay here again if we’re back in Mirissa.

The shower in one of our rooms didn’t work when we arrived, but the owners quickly fixed this.

Best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka. Very close to the main beach, restaurants, markets and all the other things you need. The AC worked great, good wifi on the terrace, the rooms were cleaned daily. Everything was fantastic.

This property is an excellent stay in Mirissa, if we could give it more stars we would! The host family is incredibly kind, friendly and always greet you with a smile throughout the day. They provided us with a kettle and a charging adapter also for convenience. The facilities are great! The beds are comfortable, room clean and they have a full sized mosquito net around the beds. There is even hot water! The location was brilliant, there’s plenty of delicious food around, and in a short walk you can reach the Main Street. We ended up extending our stay because it was so great here.

Nothing.

So, this was my sixth accommodation in Sri Lanka and definitely the best one. Hosts are very nice and willing to help,room was clean, great location. There are shops and restaurants close by,the beach is like five minutes away and also a bus stop.Would definitely recommend it to everyone.

A super lovely host family, good facilities and what I personally liked best: Not directly in the hustle and bustle, but still close enough to reach everything on foot.

Good hotel in Mirissa, 10 minutes from the beach at a good price. Hospitable and pleasant staff (or owners).

The Mermain Inn in Mirissa was an excellent choice for my stay! The location was perfect, just steps away from the beautiful beach. The owner lady is was friendly, greeted us with a refreshing drink and making sure I had everything I needed. The room was clean and comfortable, offering a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring. The owner lady also helped us arrange a cab to our next destination to bentota.

The wifi strength was not good in all the areas of the room

friendly owner, clean room, kitchen, fridge, stable wifi

Very comfortable, great location, clean, great staff. I Highly recommend it.

everything

Price considered, this place is a steal. They have a small kitchen with essentials (no oven) free of charge. The room was clean and as you would expect.

Very loud at night! Dogs barking and noisy street… Breakfast was the worst we have had in Sri Lanka. No Wi-Fi? We didn’t find one and got no introduction. Lights and kettle didn’t work when we arrived, but they fixed it very quickly though. Also, they went into our room the change the kettle when we weren’t home, which was nice of them, however we didn’t give our permission for them to do this. Nothing missing or anything, so this was solely a good deed, however it would have been nice to have allowed for this to happen :/
