Отличный, чистый отель! Очень доброжелательный, внимательный хозяин отеля Лаки. Так же в отеле есть русскоговорящий администратор Иван. Вкусный завтрак, чистота и внимание к деталям. Рекомендую отель!
Отличный отель: уютно, чисто, комфортно и очень удобно
Чистота, вкусный завтрак, владелец отеля всегда на связи, русскоговорящий администратор Иван, расположение отеля, внимательный персонал.
Нет такого
Это был мой седьмой раз в этом отеле, и я всегда с радостью сюда возвращаюсь. Номера очень чистые, просторные и оснащены всем необходимым для комфортного проживания. Расположение отличное: рядом спокойный пляж, магазины и кафе. Персонал очень дружелюбный, отзывчивый и всегда готов помочь. Мне также очень понравилось, что в отеле можно заказать вкусный ужин со свежими морепродуктами. Очень рекомендую!
Так приятно было возвратиться вновь в этот замечательный и уютный отель L&D Lodge в Hikkaduwa !!! В котором ничего не изменилось спустя несколько лет...и я была тронута тем,что меня не забыли и встретили с радостью,как родного человека...))) Всё также приятно пахнет полированный деревянный пол в холле отеля...всё также стаф занят ежедневной уборкой номеров и рад исполнить мои просьбы и пожелания... всё также подают на утро вкусные английские завтраки... всё также хозяин отеля Lucky дружелюбен и отзывчив к своим гостям и следит за порядком в отеле))) Всегда рада возвращаться в моё самое любимое место в Hikkaduwa и всегда рекомендую всем моим знакомым и друзьям...
Gute Lage, allerdings nah an den Bahngleisen, den vorbeifahrenden Zug hat man gehört. Da wir nur eine Nacht dort verbracht haben, hat uns das nicht gestört. Das Personal war super nett. Sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich.
Остановились на этом варианте, так как он нам подходил по цене и не пожалели. Дружелюбный и клиентоориентированный персонал, особая благодарность владельцу отеля Лаки, помогал и отвечал на все наши вопросы, всё с улыбкой и на позитиве)
Sehr nette Gastgeber, das Zimmer war sauber und wurde täglich gereinigt. Ein kleiner Tv war vorhanden allerdings keine Stromquelle in der Nähe. Wurde aber auch nicht benötigt. Der Balkon hinten raus ist etwas klein, aber schon überhaupt einen zu haben. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Unterkunft.
Man sollte beachten das die Bahn neben an ist und diese schon laut sein kann wenn man einen leichten Schlaf hat. Ich trage daher immer oropacks auf Reisen.
Localização excelente. Funcionários simpaticos. Quarto espaçoso com chaleira e frigorífico.
Pequeno almoço em pouca quantidade. WiFi com algumas quebras
Loved our stay here. We even stayed an extra night. It is super close to the best beach in Hikkaduwa (turtle beach). Super friendly staff and great breakfast. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Because it was low season, they allowed us to check out late as our flight out of Sri Lanka wasn’t until late night. This was very much appreciated as we could have a day on the beach and we could still shower and feel comfortable. They do transport to the airport too. We really enjoyed our breakfast of eggs and a fruit smoothie each morning. WiFi worked well. Aircon and fridge in the room was effective. Nice small balcony area. We felt very safe.
The location of the hotel is amazing. It's in the center of Hikkaduwa. Take a few steps and you are on the beach. All the facilities, shops, venues are in the vicinity.
The railroad might be a problem for someone, but on the other hand it might be a deal-breaker.
Bardzo czysto, pościel i poduszki bez grzybków, w porównaniu z innymi hotelami, bliziutko do plaży i restauracji. Przyjemnie, miły i pomocny właściciel. Bardzo dobre śniadania oraz przyjazna obsługa. Co więcej, właściciel bywa w Europie, więc ma wiedzę na temat potrzeb turystów z tego regionu. Czytałem negatywne komentarze dotyczące hałasu generowanego przez pociągi i naprawdę śmieszne jest to, co ludzie piszą… a piszą to pewnie ci, którzy mieszkają przy linii tramwajowej.
Nie było nic takiego! Jeśli będę ponownie na Sri Lance to będzie mój priorytetowe miejsce noclegowe 🥃🥃
Muy cerca de la playa, habitación muy grande, con aire y nevera. El desayuno estaba bien.
Cuando pasa el tren por debajo hay algo de ruido, si no está muy tranquilo, pero supongo que pase el tren es parte del encanto del alojamiento
The room was clean, comfortable, and safe, complete with all relevant amenities. The hosts were very professional. The breakfast was delicious - I loved the fresh avocado juice! The property is located close to the Hikkaduwa beach and many restaurants. I would definitely recommend this stay!
Sehr sauber und nettes Personal, ein netter Herr hat uns immer weitergeholfen wenn wir eine Frage hatten
Nichts alles war gut
Ambiente accogliente, camere spaziose e bagno con doccia vetrata. Ottimo soggiorno oltre le aspettative dopo aver provato altri hotel in giro per lo sri Lanka al medesimo prezzo!! Se volete spendere poco e stare molto bene lo consiglio!!! Colazione abbondante, ottima posizione
Si trova davanti ai binari ma questo non ha influito sul nostro soggiorno né sul sonno benché al mattino si senta un pò. Non vi fate scoraggiare !! Da provare!!
모든 조건이 마음에 들었습니다. 심지어 간혹 들리는 열차 소리도 정겹기까지 합니다. 주변 관광 스팟으로의 접근성도 좋습니다. 신발을 벗고 실내에서 생활하는 것이 객실 내 청결에도 도움이 되네요. 좋은 시설 이용 수칙입니다.
Struttura moderna e pulita. Host cordiali e gentili. Colazione molto buona.
Il rumore del treno purtroppo disturba un pochino ma i tappi alle orecchie risolvono il problema
Hotel più pulito trovato fin ora in Sri Lanka! Complimenti! In ogni momento della giornata trovavamo lo staff a pulire. Host e staff gentilissimi e accoglienti. Camera pulita, il letto comodo e non mancava nulla! Buona la colazione!!!
Posizione molto buona per visitare Hikkaduwa, unica pecca per il treno che passa proprio in prossimità dell'hotel... per questo è un po' rumoroso, ma accettabile! :)
The staff and the location was great
Air cons could do with a service, little noisy and smelly
Turtle beach is very close-by. Hikka Tranz is also nearby.
Room key had an issue.
Nice room and good service. Ok breakfast.
Close to the main road, the accommodation its great. Lucky the owner is very friendly and helpful. The perfect place to escape at the seaside
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The location was also perfect - very close to Hikkaduwa Beach and Narigama Beach (everything was walking distance). The breakfast was okay - don’t expect anything amazing as it’s very plain but wasn’t the worst breakfast we tried in Sri Lanka. However, we are not sure why the place has such high ratings. The sheets didn’t smell clean, the bathroom had a weird smell (vomit), and we had two cockroaches in our room which just topped it off. We stayed in 8 locations before this one, of various standard, and never had an issue with the above. It is also advertised that there’s a flat-screen TV, which is true, but was not plugged in and set up, not sure if it even worked. The bedside lamps also didn’t work. I hope that the place takes these points into consideration to improve customer satisfaction. Thank you!
Very good value for money, great breakfast, room was clean, staff so friendly and helpful
C orridors and the dining hall have a moisture smell, which is poorly ventilated
Water pressure was good, no blackouts, the owner is always near, they can easily cook you whatever you bring to them, as they have a kitchen on the first floor, the AC worked great, overall good experience, I would suggest it over the hotel. The breakfast is basic
Had a very comfortable stay! The hotel offers great value for money—clean, relaxed, and welcoming. It's in a fantastic location close to the main street, making it easy to explore. The breakfast was excellent and a perfect start to the day. Highly recommend!
Very clean property. Shoes taken off at vestibule so no outdoor dirt brought in. Breakfast was amazing,served on patio outside. Staff were very friendly and polite.
It’s not that I didn’t like the noise of the trains but occasionally a freight train would go by at night and was very loud but, honestly, you hardly notice them after a few going past.
Great bathroom.. Very, very clean, modern, and terrific hot water shower that worked well.. The sheets, bedding very clean and bed comfortble.. Location was ok off the main road.
I arrived just before 11pm on a late train & sent email to say this..But no one in hotel reception..I walked up road to where sign said for reception.. Banged loudly on metal gate many times & yelled out but no answer..Went back to hotel & sat in reception.Luckily after 30 mins taxi driver arrived to pick up leaving guests & rang hotel.owner.. Trains shook hotel but ok.
Great location. Staff were always helpful.
Great staff and great breakfast
Not much ...close to railway I guess but it didn't affect my sleeping
Great place, very clean and the high level of service. Very nice room and bathroom!
Great and clean place. Trains are not an issue.
Good location. Easy to walk to the beach. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. The staff were really helpful. Nice balcony overlooking the tracks. The trains aren't very frequent so noise didn't bother us. We got breakfast included. It was nice and light compared to some others we had on the trip (few bits of toasts and eggs). Bed was comfy and room spacious.
The only thing was the air con wasnt very powerful but it did work
Lovely spacious room, helpful staff. Clean. Nice balcony. Off the main road which was nice, close to the beach.
Train very loud.
Lucky, the Ukrainian lady (so sorry can’t remember your name) and the other staff working there were so lovely and helpful. Location is really close to Main Street/beaches, restaurants, shops etc. lovely juice at breakfast - long breakfast service until 11am. Room so cheap but still get eggs and toast and jam and very nice butter :)
Towels didn’t smell very fresh, the corridors smell quite strongly and are very hot. You can hear the trains but like once a day and really don’t think it’s an issue.
Nice location close to the beach and to the market. Very friendly and helpful host. Good breakfast.
No credit card accepted. The lobby a bit humid, but the room with air con it was better
Nice places, nice location, nice staff. I would come back 4 sure(if it was a fan there ) !
To varm bed and no fan. Aircondition but it dont like to use it
It was a Beautiful room with a nice clean bathroom and an balcony. There was a well working AC. The breakfast was good and available from 8-11. when we arrived they showed us a map with all the best places to go to.
Everything was good. Good to know that in Hikkaduwa are a lot of Russian people.
Location was very good, close to turtle beach. Employees were friendly, rooms very clean and they helped us with the transportation to and from airport. Also the contact with the owner was very easy.
You could only pay with cash
Very clean, staff super nice and helpful, nice environment
Rooms are noisy due to the railway across the street, so maybe not the best option in case of light sleepers
The room was large and clean. Bathroom was very good with hot water and large shower. Breakfast was good but only western style, local one has to be ordered in advance. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to keep the luggage beyond the check out time and we were able to use the shower after. The location is good, 2 min from the beach.
The pictures don't show well that the hotel is located right at the train tracks, it is quite noisy in the night. On top it's close to the main street that is also very crowded, so the setting is not very relaxing. The guests are requested to leave the shoes outside and walk with bare feet inside all hotel spaces.
The hotel was just perfect. Very clean. The staff was very warm, friendly and helpful.
All the staff were super welcoming. As a female traveling alone I felt very safe here. The room had everything I needed with a little fridge and the balcony. It is very central to both beaches and all the shops. They offer a local breakfast which I highly recommend trying!
I stayed at L&D for three weeks and was happy the whole time I was there. The staff is happily RESPONSIVE to any requests. Anytime I walked downstairs, someone was there to see if I needed anything. Very nice and filling breakfast every day. Comfortable common area for relaxing and nice balconies. I was happy to have a kettle and small fridge so I could prepare my own simple snacks as needed. The wifi worked great. A nice swimming beach with calm water is in easy walking distance as well as several good restaurants.
This did not bother me, but some people might be sensitive to the occasional train noise. Note that the lodge is located next to railroad tracks. I suggest that you request a room in the back side of the hotel in advance if this is a problem for you. They will try to meet all such requests...but you should request in advance.
Everything is great except of the location of the accommodation. It's next to the railway, which is extremely loud.
This accomodation was really nice, great location, really kind staff, clean room, clean shower. It was nice the staff cleaned room in the morning.
Great location, big room, good view, excellent customer service by the staff.
Spacious comfortable room, with lovely glass doors out to balcony. Lovely environment to be in.
Friendly staff
Perfect location, a nice clean room, tasty breakfast, kind staff. I enjoyed to stay here for 2 nights
Good location to go to the beach and Main Street Very close to train rails though, which can be heard very clearly, but only few trains at night Staff was very friendly
The entire hotel smells very damp and there were spots of mold visible Furniture, sheets etc very old Cockroach in the bathroom
Very impressed at the quality and comfort for the price. The bathroom was one of the nicest I’ve had in Sri Lanka so far. I also appreciated the balcony and the small fridge in the room. A/C worked well. We briefly met the owner and he was very welcoming to us.
Some reviews mention the noise from the trains passing by, it didn’t really disturb me as there aren’t many trains at night.
Nice room & balcony and great location. Staff was helpful and nice as well.
The only downside is the train tracks running right next to the hotel. It wasn’t a big problem for us though, just bring good ear plugs :)
Nice and clean rooms, everything worked well, staff friendly. Highly Recommended.
This was my 3rd stay at this place. The staff is just incredible. They provide amazing service. They do have as well 2 more properties if you wish to try different things they have the L&D accomodation and L&D Stay Inn. This guys will provide you whatever you need with affordable prices.
Amazing place to stay in.
We stayed at this hotel for one night and had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The hotel was exceptionally clean, conveniently located near local attractions, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.
The lodge is well located, 5 minutes walk from turtle beach. The room was spacious and clean. The staff was really nice and welcoming.
Great value for money. Very clean, Nice staff and good breakfast!
Everything perfect.
Nothing.
Staff was super nice and welcoming. The rooms were very clean.
Amazing location right by the famous railway. Such friendly staff and amazing breakfast. Bed was so comfortable and massive! Defo stay again.
Very nice people
Incredible place to stay in Hikkaduwa. All the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Comfortable room, nice AC, and good breakfast options. Cannot be beaten for the price!
I note that I was asked to move into a building nearby the L&D Inn. L&D Inn. and L&D Lodge have a good location - close to the ocean. This is a new hotel with modern renovation, a wonderful shower, toilet, large room, beautiful view from the window, air conditioning, lots of light, hot water - everything works. It was important for me to have Wi-Fi, it’s generally ok, but there are severe slowdowns in speed, and once there was a power outage (but not for long). For a small fee, a large kitchen with a refrigerator and a gas stove for cooking is available. I would recommend visiting a nearby restaurant with European and Russian cuisine "Cool Spot", and a supermarket Sandagiri Super Market (Pvt) Ltd.
If there was a mosquito net on the balcony door, it would be even more comfortable.
Great stay in a very clean hotel! Everyday they ask if you want the room cleaned. Location is central and the staff very friendly. We ended up staying two days more.
Fabulous situated property in the heart of Hikkaduwa. Clean rooms with comfy bed, with a warm, powerful shower and cold air con. Owner and staff were very friendly. We read a lot of complaints of the train tracks nearby being extremely loud/shaking the bed etc. Personally feel these comments are very dramatic. We didn’t wake up once during our whole 3 night stay. Nothing to complain about on the train front. Excellent value for money.
Nothing.
The room was comfortable, with big bed. AC really nice breakfast
It was right next to the railway which we didn’t realise the passing train was extremely loud which could bother someone. We got air flux upon arrival, but you could still feel the whole building shaking when the train passed by Weaver so so tired that we slept anyways, but it’s important to point it out.
