Leuke plek voor een goede prijs. Op de eerste dag deed de airco het niet, er werd een monteur geregeld om het binnen een uur op te lossen. Warme douche.
Ervaren veel mieren en soms een etenslucht. Niet alle lampen deden het en de stopcontacten hingen los en er waren er maar 2.
Номер був на другому поверсі, все чисто, зручний балкон з кріслами. Гаряча вода була, це важливо. Розташування готелю зручне. Привітний персонал. Гарні сніданки. Сподобався чай матча на кокосовому молоці.
Aan het strand, in het centrum, ruime kamer, vriendelijk personeel, heerlijke douchegel en shampoo.
Alles was prima!
EVERYTHING ❤️ Definitely will come back !
NOTHING.
Super lokalizacja i przemiła i pomocna obsługa
Location was excellent. Bathroom was clean and tidy.
The beds squeaked and needed repair. Noise from restaurant and bar behind the property.
Vi hadde rommet øverst med sjøutsikt. Flott stort og rent rom. Nytt kjøleskap, aircondition og veldig pent møblert. Vi har reist i Sri Lanka gjentatte ganger og for pengene er dette det beste hotellet vi er på. Vårt 2 besøk. For hva du betaler for er dette et fantastisk sted. God kaffe og enkle bakevarer. Sentralt og eieren er en super hyggelig hotellsjef. Alle våre små ønsker ble imøtekommet uten problemer.
Badet kan oppleves som noe fuktig/varmt siden det er et tilbygg på rommet. Så døren må lukkes så ikke mygg kommer inn. Bagatell vis man passer på ha døren lukket. Dusjen og såpene er fantastisk for prisen.
Очень хорошее расположение! Шикарный персонал, максимально приятные молодые ребята во всех вопросах оперативно шли на помощь и уступки. Отдельная благодарность, что заселили нас рано утром, быстро оформили, мы были после долгого перелета. Помогли заказать недорогой трансфер из аэропорта. Понравилась кухня! С удовольствием вернёмся еще раз и будем рекомендовать друзьям!
Работала одна розетка
De har skikkelig kaffe, deilig atmosfære i bakgården og det er 30m til stranden
Svært lite, blandebatteriet i vasken fungerte dårlig.
Прекрасное место нахождения !!! На деревья утром приходят макаки , павлин прилетает , летучих лис можно видеть ночью . Все супер !!! Но хотелось бы больше удобств в номере и сушилку на балконе .
Все хорош
Nice people with positive vibes, good location (towards beach, shops/restaurants and Galle), good coffee, clean
Staff were very helpful
Expensive for what it is, soap bottles etc were empty, had to ask for towels and toilet roll. Stayed for 6 nights, room not cleaned at all during this time.
Sehr nettes Personal, bester Cappuccino, direkt Willkommen geheißen und ein Upgrade bekommen. Tolles Zimmer mit eigenem Balkon bekommen und alles in allem einfach sehr wohl gefühlt!
Все очень чисто и красиво. Есть своя кухня где готовят очень вкусную еду. Постельное белье чистое и ароматное. Уборка и смена белья по первому же требованию. Тихие и новые кондиционеры. Очень хороший хозяин. Все лично контролирует и сразу же реагирует на все пожелания посетителей. Спасибо. Обязательно вернемся.
Все понравилось
Tasteful, friendly staff and good coffee.
Очень приветливый персонал и вкусный кофе. Номера староваты но были чистые со свежим ароматным постельным бельем.
За два дня пребывания не было уборки в номере. И не меняли полотенца.
Очень отзывчивый и дружелюбный персонал. При позднем заезде принесли по просьбе пиво и воду из закрытого уже бара. По просьбе делали уборку. Достаточно чистая ванная комната и вся сантехника работала корректно. Приятная террасса для посидеть вечером, персонал принес спираль от комаров. Расположение очень удобное, до пляжа 1,5 минуты. Нет проблем ходить с пляжа в номер и обратно хоть несколько раз на дню. Кондиционер удалось настроить так, чтобы не дуло и при этом охлаждало.
Слегка подуставшая темная мебель в номере, что, тем не менее, соответствовало фото и ожиданиям.
Staff are very nice
The location was good and the room was very spacious and clean. Staffs were welcoming and nice. Most of the things are in walking distance.
The in-room WiFi was terrible, almost no connection throughout our stay.. The connection was good in the ground floor, near the cafe, but not in the third floor. Also, the balcony and staircase to room 202 was very very narrow - so if you have suitcases, you might need to reconsider. On our check-in, there was no water coming through the taps - had to tell the staffs and after a moment it came, this happened twice. No amenities were provided in the room, such as - bottled water, tea/coffee. The food and coffee prices in their cafe was very expensive compared to the nearby restaurants. All these led us to shorten our stay in Unawatuna from 3 nights to 2 nights and we moved to Hikkaduwa.
100% recomendable. Las habitaciones super amplias, el baño super moderno y a 100 metros de la playa. Los desayunos increibles y el personal fue super super amable con nosotras. Si volvemos, nos volveremos a quedar en este alojamiento seguro.
Aunque la relación calidad-precio es buena, fue el alojamiento más caro en el que estuvimos.
Location
No amenities Old room. Had cracks and molds The staff would switch off water supply No complementary water bottle
The cute cafe near the hotel which had amazing coffee.
The access to the rooms was limited and tight
Das Personal war wirklich besonders freundlich! Die Lage etwas außerhalb des Troubels und trotzdem alles erreichbar war gut, au h das Bett war gut, das Zimmer soweit ganz schön, allerdings kein wirklicher Meerblick, man sah nur vom Balkon aus einen Zipfel. Das Essen und Café waren sehr gut, aber völlig überteuert. Der Innenhof ist nett und ruhig mit angenehmer Atmosphäre. Das Bad war nicht sehr sauber und eher unschön, nur sehr groß, die Wanne ist nicht wirklich nutzbar, da sie innen "ausgebaut", also nur zum Sitzen ist, aber gut, das braucht man auch nicht unbedingt.
Das Bad war mit offenem Fenster (Mücken, warm), die hohen Decken waren zwar schön, aber so musste die Klimaanlage eine Weile laufen, bis es kühl wurde. Deluxe war das Zimmer nun wirklich auch nicht, es war schön, aber Standard und vergleichsweise für sri Lanka teurer. Ich hatte danach ein richtig tolles Zimmer mit echtem Meerblick, gutem Frühstück, tollem, gepflegtem Bad für 5 € weniger...
Nice place, 2mins from the beach, AC working good, sheets were clean, staff was nice
Nothing
The stay good and worth the money, the staff was friendly, and they accommodated our late evening check-in smoothly. The overall experience was very nice. However, overall impression remains positive.
They did not respond to messages, and it was hard to find contact numbers for the hotel. Despite these minor issues but its not big issues.
Moderna pulita bella zona comune
Tutto ok
I really enjoyed my stay. There was an annual festival happening where locals went to the temple on the beach. It was loud and chaotic, but it was fun because you could see a lot of local people in action.
The location was great and the coffee shop
We booked the sea view room and there was a wall built in front of our room which didn’t make sense
Lovely staff including the owner,very smiley, friendly and helpful all of them. Literally a minute to the beach surrounded by loads of restaurants, lovely garden for chilling. They have a nice cafe. The rooms are very good value for money. I'd stay here again.
If you want a lie in then not for you, very noisy in the morning.
The hotel is centrally located to restaurants, motorbike hire, massage and the beach. It has it's own cafe ( great chai and hot chocolate) and Thai restaurant. Our room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed, amazingly quiet and effective air-conditioning and strong shower. Sometimes we had trouble getting hot water though. A bonus was the shampoo and body wash provided.It has a lovely area outside to sit where you can see squirrels and occasionally langurs. The staff were friendly and kind. Would definitely stay here again.
The place is similar as shown in the website.
Room was huge, AC worked well, bathroom was big and shower nice and powerful. Staff very helpful and they also have a cafe with nice coffee and a thai restaurant what more could you want👌 i will be back for sure
Nothing
Close to the beach and a fantastic Cafe on site.
Very spacious room (room 202)
Perfect location within a 5-minute walking distance from the beach (2 with a path through the restaurant). Great spacious room, clean, very comfortable large beds, all the necessary cupboards and small comfy furniture pieces. Hot water at all times. Very neat bath liquids. Delicious coffees and meals at a cafe downstairs (our room was in the second floor). Most important — perfect, very friendly, welcoming, helpful hotel team!
There’s absolutely nothing to dislike
It's the second time we stayed here. Great location - near the best part of the beach: the waves are smaller than on the left part of the beach, and at the same time far enough from the stinky river on the right part of the beach. Decent soundproofing of the rooms - we've booked two adjacent rooms and couldn't hear each other through the wall at all. They provide beach towels daily if you ask. The people who work there are all very friendly ❤️
Location was good. Extended stay until 6pm. It was cheap for the area it was in.
We had a wonderful stay in a room with a lovely garden view. The hotel is very close to the beach, which made it so convenient for us to enjoy the coastal beauty. The restaurant offered amazing food choices, and we enjoyed every meal. It was also incredibly relaxing to sit in the garden in the evening, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. Overall, the experience was totally worth the money, and I highly recommend this place!
Excellent location, just steps away from the beach, as well as restaurants and bars. It has a lovely terrace and café, which are perfect for both relaxing and working. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, it had a small fridge and strong air conditioning—a definite plus in Sri Lanka! The staff are nice and friendly!
One suggestion for improvement: it would be nice to add a chair and some decorations to the room to better reflect the charming vibe of the café.
Property was clean and in such good location. The cafe is great. The Nutella iced latte was amazing. The staff were so friendly and kindly organised a taxi to the airport for me in the evening and let me leave my bags at the hotel for the day. Would definitely return.
location s nice, close to the beach
highly not recommend you to stay there, the only nice thing about their is location other things are not connected to good stay: First you can't take a shower everytime in the middle of the shower after 2mins needs to run downstairs to ask their kindness to open the water. the tap was compelety fidly moving in all directions can't use proprly, the light bulbs were almost all burned and was dark as 80% of lights didn't work they kept informing that they will fix and provide wifi and later didn't bring anything after couple of requests, the cleaning was not nice it was dirty, it was scareful to touch some dish and kettle as they are dirty (look to the photos), wardrobes don't close lock is useless, we have a sea view room and instead in reality turnened out to be a roof view. we stayed at other places cheaper and better quality of stay. highly recommend you not to go to this place and to find yourself somewhere else
The location is good, a short walk to Unawatuna beach and the beachside restaurants. The room and bathroom were really clean and quite large. The bathroom had really great water pressure.
There's only one plug point near the bed so it's not ideal for 2 people to share but we managed for our short stay. The only major downside to the stay was the toilet seat - it was very worn and not set in place comfortably, with a crack in the middle. It was quite loud in the garden view room, as it's right near the cafe and the music etc. from it carry into the room during business hours.
Our second stay at this hotel the room was lovely and spacious and clean. Great location and really friendly helpful staff would highly recommend
Booked room with balcony and sea view - but trees obstructing the view - couldn’t really ask them to chop the tree down now could I !!
The food was very good and the personal were positiv, service minded and nice. We liked the open part in the middle of the hotel were you could eat, have a drink etc.
Why can not the water tap be fixad and not loose in so many hotels.
Close to the beach, shops and restaurants of Unawatuna. Lovely communal courtyard space where we could sit to work. Great having a cafe/restaurant on site. The Thai food was delicious. Good sized room with balcony. AC worked well. Unawatuna itself felt very safe, and was more touristy than other places we’ve visited (but not hassled) This was good for us, as travelling with children. I let my 10 year old daughter go out to get an ice cream by herself. I was a little concerned about how loud the music was playing in the cafe when we arrived, thinking we were in a party place but it was turned off very early and actually made for a nicer atmosphere.
There was only a very thin sheet to sleep under. I would have preferred something a little heavier. This is a small issue and wouldn’t stop me booking again.
Location
Too many mosquitoes
The food was excellent.
Big and clean rooms with a cozy balcony. AC is strong, and water pressure is strong and better than many other places in Sri LankaThe owner and staff did everything to make our stay perfect. It's less than a minute to the beach. Suoer location in the center of Unawatuna beach. The food is traditional and delicious. It's probably the best place to stay in Unawatuna. I can only recommend this hotel. Thank you for the great time. We will miss it.
The wifi in the room was not really good.
Nice room with a balcony and a spacious bathroom. Fridge in the room and good AC + a fan. Very good shower with hot water. The staff is super friendly and the cafe downstairs is very cozy and has good food/drinks :)
WiFi in the room was not always working, but the cafe downstairs also has WiFi which worked fine. I don’t expect a cleaning of the room everyday but they didn’t empty the trash or anything (we only stayed 3 nights tho). The building/room is quite old.
The hotel was in a great location on the walking street and by the beach. Bilish was a great host and made us feel right at home! Would definitely recommend
Nothing
Great location close to beach ⛱️ bars 🍸 and food 👌 ! 2nd visit to this hotel we stayed 4 nites in room 201 not sure if other rooms have been updated but I think a comfy chair would be great, and it's so hot on the balcony the addition of a simple fan would have been amazing, sorry just my opinion, but still a great place to stay when visiting unawatuna 🌴🌴🌴! Curry and rice Cafe downstairs is very yummy 😋
Excellent location, great staff, spacious room.
Very hot inside the room. Felt like the aircon made everything damp.
Lovely big room close to everything in Unawatuna. The staff at the cafe are really nice and helpful - try their arrack & ginger beer cocktail, it’s the best I had in Sri Lanka!
The windows don’t close properly in the bathroom so there is a constant influx of mosquitos to the bathroom, we didn’t really mind but may be an issue for some.
Location, room, staff, food and coffee.
Great location near the beach, with comfortable rooms that offer excellent value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the stay even better. Highly recommend !
Staff , room , location, Thai food
Nothing
Great location - near the beach and on the lively street. Clean and spacious rooms, comfortable beds. Very kind and helpful staff. They made us feel at hime.
Simple, but nice and clean rooms, very cosy commmon outdoor area, yummy breakfast. Extremly friendly staff. Only few steps to the beach.
We got a free upgrade to the sea view room, which was super nice. Spacious room, super location, best shower we had in Sri Lanka and very kind, relaxed and helpful staff. After three weeks traveling Sri Lanka I think this was our best stay and would definitely recommend
There are some bars with music in the beach area that can be heart at night. Nothing the owner can do about this and the sound insulation of the room itself is good (and was sufficient for us), but might be something to keep in mind for light sleepers
The staff was amazing, food was amazing and also the location was top notch!
Towels were little dirty and we had cockroaches in our room.
Incredible location, friendly/helpful staff and great ambiance. The room was also gorgeous (we could see the ocean from our suite) and well maintained, no bugs and good air conditioning. They also have a delicious cafe and restaurant. This place is an incredible value as well.
No complaints. Wish I stayed longer.
I loved this place, best coffee ever, Thai food with a Thai chef. Amazing food. Few steps over to the beach. The rooms was great size and king size bed so comfy with nets, air con works great. Court yard looks boutique. But what made my stay was the staff and manager, always smiling and went above and beyond to make our stay great. Beach was calmest to swim I'd seen on the whole south coast. I was very sad to leave and can't wait to come back, next time for longer.
Nothing at all
staff were so friendly, best spot in Unawatuna
Great location and staff were super helpful and friendly The vibe is awesome and we didn’t managed to try the food but it looked great!
Be prepared for bugs and lizards in your room! The standard of the hotel and restaurants doesn’t reflect the room as they are quite dated.
A place with a proper espresso machine! I could've cried when I had my espresso after 2 weeks of only having watery coffee, it was that good. Anyway, room itself was great: working A/C, spacious, good shower temperature. This place was great value for money. Only around a 5min walk to the beach.
The room was so spacious and clean. The balcony view was stunning and location was awesome. They let me check in a little early which I appreciated.
The Wifi was pretty much non existent. I also got charged higher than quoted on booking.com.
What a fabulous find. This gorgeous little place is absolutely excellent budget value. The top floor delux room has a fabulous sea view, big room and bathroom. Simple, spotless, comfy bad and really good AC unit. The coffee garden was delightful, a cool and quiet green space for relaxing and some folk were co-working there. Good coffee and WiFi connection. Best of all the staff were absolutely fabulous, friendly, super helpful and efficient…
More towels please…
Very good location. Their cafe is excellent, and they have nice big rooms with a view.
Owners were really lovely and location was great
Loud music from a nearby bar at night. Not a major but something to keep in mind if your a light sleeper
Really good location with really lovely staff. We had a good sized room with a comfortable bed and nice balcony the furniture is old but ok
After 4 days with no clean towels and running out of toilet paper we asked about cleaning and we’re told we should hand our key in and ask for it to be done if we had known earlier then we would’ve done
We had an incredible dining experience at Una Hotel & Olu Cafe, truly the best authentic Thai cuisine we've ever tasted. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of nearby attractions. The staff were exceptionally friendly and hospitable, making us feel right at home. The owner was incredibly attentive, ensuring our stay was tailored to exceed our expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone and can't wait to return. Our stay here reminded us that true luxury in hospitality is being pampered and finding peace.
The staff was great, room great and sentral.
Keep the bathroom door locked because mosquitos. Bathroom little moisture.
