Sweden Inn Guesthouse

off main road so quiet, fantastic hosts

n/a

friendly staff nice balcony . good smart tv nice bathroom

This The location is perfect, very close to the beach and restaurants nearby, the place is a lovely and quaint hotel perfect for a relaxed stay. But the best have been the lovely and genuine owners. I injured my foot and they were so helpful and diligent, making sure I was ok and recovering, they kindly allowed me to extend my stay. Truly such kind people have impacted my experience in Sri Lanka greatly. I’ve had a wonderful time, exactly as travelling solo as a female I felt really safe and well taken care of in their hotel I am eager to to return and will again :)

Sehr ruhige Lage, gegenüber vom Strand und vielen coolen Strandbars. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundliche Menschen. Wir hatten das Budget Doppelzimmer gebucht und haben ein kostenloses Upgrade erhalten, da der andere Raum frei war ohne mehr zahlen zu müssen. Zudem ging unser Flug erst nachts, wir durften noch den ganzen Tag ins Zimmer um uns nochmal frisch zu machen. Uns wurde geholfen den Bus nach Colombo anzuhalten, der direkt gegenüber gefahren ist. Wir wurden generell sehr liebevoll empfangen und haben uns direkt wohlgefühlt. Das Zimmer was wir hatten war modern und sehr groß.

Nachts etwas laut durch Zug und bellende Hunde, aber das ist wirklich kein minus sondern nur ein kleiner Hinweis. Sollte aber nicht davon abhalten die Unterkunft zu buchen.

Besitzer war nett

Hatten das Budget Zimmer. Leider war es nicht sauber. Bad war nicht geputzt. Bettlaken mit Flecken. Wand war feucht und hat geschimmelt. Modriger Geruch

a beautiful room super close to the beach, i wish i had stayed there longer! the host is super lovely , can definitely recommend!

Очень отличный и уютный гостевой домик с несколькими комнатами. Мы снимали две комнаты. Никаких проблем не было с горячей водой, с работой кондиционера и Wi Fi. Хозяева очень дружелюбные и отзывчивые люди. Всегда при первой просьбе пытались нам помочь. Интересовались позже как мы добрались, в связи с последними событиями на ближнем востоке. Домик расположен в очень удачном месте: в близи кафе с разнообразной едой, поблизости дискотеки, есть парковка для байков. Также на втором этаже есть своя кухня. Вообщем хорошее соотношение цены и качества.

We were really surprised. The room is light, clean and really nice. With an A/c and even hot water. Really everything what you need. And the owner is super friendly

Great room, quiet, close to the beach and the family are the perfect host.

Nothing.

We booked the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and were very satisfied. The room was very clean and spacious. It had a large bed with a comfortable mattress. Everything we needed was nearby – just a 1-minute walk to the grocery store and coconut vendors. Across the street, you can buy delicious fresh-cut fruits. The beach is only a 3-minute walk away. There are many cafes, restaurants, shops, and surf schools in the area.

Nothing

The hosts are just wonderful - very friendly and helpful . Bed super comfy and the garden view was fab. Trains run behind the back of the guesthouse quite frequently so you will need ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper.

Nothing springs to mind

The family who owns the place is super helpful and nice :) the rooms were just like in the pictures and location is perfect since it’s very nearby the beach but it wasn’t noisy at all.

The Sweden Inn is the perfect guesthouse to stay at in Hikkaduwa. The host family are absolutely lovely, the wifi is great, there is hot water, aircon, and it is in right in the middle of Hikka, with the beach just across the road and only a few minutes walk either way to whatever restaurant you desire to eat at. The property is very well secured with cctv all around, and a gated entrance which is locked at night. The rooms also feature a safe which gives you that added security for your valuables. The value for money is unmatched and I doubt you can find anywhere better to stay for the price that you get The Sweden Inn for. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka. A lot of hosts have been welcoming but Chandini truly went above and beyond to make us feel part of the family. She constantly put us at ease and provided help whenever we needed it and was always there to greet us with a smile and a conversation whenever we returned to the guest house. The room was heavenly, the shower was hot and the lovely comfortable four poster bed had a mosquito net, A/C + a fan. We got terribly soaked on a rainy drive home and Chandini even hung our clothes on her own washing line to get them dry for our next day departure, and found us a bus to our next destination, making sure she waited with us and flagged it down. So kind. Her son also arranged a scooter for us for the best price we’ve had in Sri Lanka so far! We will definitely be booking again if we return to Hikkaduwa!

Nothing!

We had a great stay. Lovely owners, the room was comfortable, and the inn is close to several nice restaurants and beach areas. I have nothing negative to say, and would absolutely recommend anyone to stay here.

Nothing.

Quit place. No noise from the railway or mainstreet ..

Small room. No chair no closet no hanger on the wall

Lovely sized room with a huge four poster bed which we loved. The owners are lovely people and make you feel incredibly welcome. Great location too just off the Main Street in Hikkaduwa.

The hospitality... Location.. and very clean room.. amenities better than similar priced properties in srilanka. The hostess went out of her way to make our stay wonderful.. always available with a warm smile and some or the other produce from her garden :) We had a slight problem with the airconditioner. Which she got immediately fixed. Overall a wonderful stay!!

Nothing really. Everything was great.

The accommodation is perfectly located, just a 1-minute walk from the beach, right across the street. In the immediate vicinity, there are several charming restaurants within walking distance. The beach also offers plenty of surf schools, making it ideal for surfers of all levels. The entire accommodation was spotless, and the owner was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. A fantastic stay overall!

Well located and solid accommodation. Very good value for money. Very lovely host!

Bathroom and AC in our room both came a bit in their days but still worked fine.

Location and staff

Nothing

The lady and family who owns the guest house made our stay here. Cannot do enough for you and so kind, thank you so much. The guest house its self has everything you need - WiFi, hot water, AC, fridge and a safe in the room. Clean and comfy! Really recommend if you’re staying in Hikkaduwa. Perfect location. Loved our stay here and would definitely come back!

Can’t say a bad word! Our favourite home stay whilst travelling so far:)

It was absolutely perfect for me (solo backpacker in need of a few beach days). The room was extremly good value for money - clean, comfortable, with many pillows and a good mattress. The location was absolutely perfect - three minutes walk to the IMHO best part of the beach in Hikkaduwa, the Northern part of Narigama beach, which is much nicer and quieter than Hikkaduwa beach and is still close enough to the shops and restaurants "downtown". Highlight of my stay were the owners - lovely welcome, sad goodbye, always there with a smile and advice if I needed some, and at the same time absolutely respectful of my privacy. Definitely a highly recommended place to stay!

We were welcomed so warmly by the lady who runs the place. She was so friendly and accommodating from the very beginning. The Ac worked well and the water was hot. The location is very convenient for the beach and close to some nice restaurants.

There were a few small holes in the bed sheet which could do with a refresh

Received a service worthy of the amount paid. Room is comfortable and nice.

The water flow in the shower is not enough. And It took considerable time for the room to cool down due to the extremely hot weather.

Great stay at this property. The landlady even offered us some local breakfast for Sri Lanka New Year. Very well located by the beach side and still very quiet!

We loved everything about Sweden Inn. The beautiful owner was so welcoming, friendly, and speaks perfect English. She helped us get settled and advised us about transport. The room was so big and spacious. The A/C was fantastic. The property is in a prime location, yet was quiet and peaceful at the night time. We would love to come back again!

Nothing!

As it was in the pictures, so was the accommodation in real life. It was comfortable, quiet, well equipped with a safe, fridge, air conditioning and mosquito nets. I was completely satisfied with the room and it was very good value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful. I can only recommend it to everyone!

Had a wonderful stay at Sweden Inn and was warmly welcomed by such a kind and lovely host🙂 I can highly recommend this place, which is located wirh the sea just across the main street🏖

Internet connection is quite good! An excellent guesthouse with very sincere and responsive owners. There is air conditioning, a safe and a good view of the garden. At the low price they ask for this room, these are excellent conditions, which are greatly enhanced by the kindness of the very cool and sincere owners of the hotel. I am very pleased with the accommodation and recommend this guesthouse for an inexpensive but quite comfortable stay

All things were good

The room is very comfortable, you'll fin everything you need. The position is perfect, right in front of the beach and close to nice cafè and restaurant. The owners are the so nice and lovely, the sweetest!!

- Allowed earlier check-in so we could leave our things and get changed for the beach (although the son initially said the room is not yet ready - this happens frequently in Sri Lanka). - Helped us arrange a tuk-tuk for the train the next day. Although it came with difficulties, after asking if she'll come up to tell us if the driver is available she replied "I'm a married woman.".

- The owner (old lady) acted like she's interested in my thoughts or feelings. Even after telling her about how expensive Sri Lanka has been for us and the racist pricing against tourists she tried to pocket 1/4 of the stay's cost - basically the only money we had left at the end of our trip. After the amount of times locals have tried to rip us off on the daily basis this was the breaking point for me which ruined the remainder of the vacation. - Room could be cleaner, shower had leftover hair. - AC barely working, it looks like it was found in the ocean.

Lovely family, super helpful and friendly :) Clean and comfortable stay in a great location. Also, steady hot shower (luxury in Sri Lanka). Definitely recommended!

Good stuff, they very kind and halpfull .The room ease clean and berg ,near the ocean,

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Sweden Inn Guesthouse. I spent one delightful night there, and I must say, its location is incredibly convenient for accessing the main attractions in the city. The overall experience was truly pleasant.

- Cozy, clean house with wonderful hosts! - Comfortable bed - Very fast internet. - Security system. - Very good location - No bad odors outside (I traveled a lot in Sri Lanka, hard to find a room without odor). - Lots of plants around - Good air conditioning - Uninterrupted hot water

I liked everything

Really clean, comfortable room at an amazing location. The family are so friendly and welcoming. Can’t recommend this guesthouse enough!

Nothing.

Perfect place to stay. The room I had was clean and the bed was comfy, I especially liked that there was AC as well as a fan, and a fridge to keep my water in. I was working while here and the Wi-Fi was good and I had a desk to work from. The beach is literally across the road and everything you need is in walking distance. The best thing about the stay though has to be Chandine the host, she is the most lovely lady. Really friendly and generous and she made it feel like I was staying with family.

That was fantastic! Host was very kind, rooms spacious, good internet, you cross the street you are on the beach

Nothing

Beautifull accomodation with friendly owners
