The Coastal Hotel

La posizione è l’albergatore molto disponibile

La camera leggermente piccola

The Coastal Hotel is located at an excellent location close to the beach and various restaurants at or even on the beach. It is also close to a well-respected dive shop (DivinGuru). The caretaker, Joseph, is very kind and has helped us multiple times with our enquiries. The rooms are airconditioned, the beds are comfortable. and there is a laundry service. We liked that the place and surroundings are quiet, so it is ideal for families and couples who enjoy a relaxed time at the beach.

I had hoped that the rooms had a mini-fridge, but the caretaker allowed us to store our drinks and medicine in the fridge in the kitchen, which was accessibe 24 hours per day. He also told us that mini-fridges will be installed in due course.

Joseph is an incredibly helpful and friendly host. He took care of us during our stay and was always very attentive and supportive. The hotel is very close to the beach!

The accommodation itself is ok, however the rooms need some maintenance: we found dust mites/bed bugs in the bed, likely because the frame is made of wood. These are small details that need to be addressed and would make a huge difference.

ג'וסף מנהל המלון, נמצא בכל רגע שאתה צריך את עזרתו. תמיד באדיבות ורוחב לב. למעשה הוא שהפך את השהות לנעימה עבורנו

המלון די מיושן ומציע תנאים בסיסיים בלבד

Der Manager war immer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, er hat uns am Morgen frische Früchte zur Verfügung gestellt. Tolle Lage sehr nahe am Strand, entspannt mit einigen Restaurants in der Nähe, von Strand aus kann man eine wunderschöne Schnorcheltour nach Pigeon Island starten.

La proximité de la très belle plage de Nillaveli. Le propriétaire de l’hôtel qui est très gentil et bienveillant.

The manager is really nice and helpful.

The property needs a big investment and maintenance. I am sure it was nice 20 years ago.

The host was extremely polite, warm, thoughtful, and responsive. He made us feel very welcome and were always quick to help whenever we needed anything

There were a few bugs in the room, but it wasn't a surprise as the property is right next to the beach in between a lot of greenery

The strong point of the property is Joseph. He's always present and available for every request, and he makes up for the shortcomings of the property itself. Unfortunately, Joseph alone isn't enough to keep the place running since there are 13 rooms to manage and he works non-stop from 5 AM to 11 PM!! He does everything in the property (coffee and tea for people, cleaning rooms, doing laundry for everyone, fixing problems, buying things missing in the room - like hairdryer)! Good position close to the beach.

The property is dilapidated. The rooms need to be renovated and possibly expanded. The bathroom had a leak from the toilet (Joseph worked to fix it), but the showers also need to be renovated (we had a bad experience during a shower with a shower pipe boken - always Joseph was ready so solve it). The owners of the property should invest money to improve the structure and hire another person to help Joseph. This is the only way to improve. A breakfast service should absolutely be added, also because the price paid, compared to prices in Nilaveli and Sri Lanka in general, is not average.

Our stay at the Coastal Hotel in Nilaveli was excellent. The room was spotless and well taken care of, and we appreciated that we could do laundry there. A special thank you goes to our host, Joseph, who was incredibly kind and always ready to help. He made us feel very welcome and even took care of us when one of us wasn’t feeling well. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Nilaveli.

Very friendly and caring Hotel staff!! Very kids friendly. Clean rooms, good shower. Since our Rooms was not booked the next day we were allowed to stay until the late afternoon. 3 minute walk to the beach.

No Moskito Nets, a Lot of Moskitos in the rooms.

I had originally booked another guesthouse in Uppuveli, however it had a lot of mould, so I didn’t stay and found The Coastal Hotel instead. It was rustic, but clean and perfect for my 5 night stay. It is a 2 min walk to a spectacular beach with a few beach restaurants within a 10 min walk. The reception area has dining tables and a lounge area for the use of guests. The manager Joseph went out of his way to help me on a number of occasions and made sure my stay was seemless. He is an absolute credit to the hotel, extremely hard working, ensuring all of his guests are looked after.

Der Chef Joseph war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir haben kostenlos Kaffee und Tee morgens um halb 6 vor unserer Abreise angeboten bekommen. Saubere Zimmer, bequeme Matratzen. Klare Empfehlung für Nilaveli!

Nichts

Joseph, der Betreiber, hat uns herzlich empfangen und uns alle Wünsche erfüllt. Ein schönes kleines Hotel in Strandnähe mit einem guten Preis- Leistungsverhältnis. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen! Danke!

Proprietario è bravissimo e generoso- bella struttura .

Clean room, close to the beach and great host Joseph. He is so helpful and supportive. Tell him your concerns, and he'll help us find the best way. We need to go out to eat, but there are a couple of restaurants nearby.

Vicinissimo al mare , pulita, accessibile. Il signore alla reception è stato veramente splendido disponibile e gentile. Molti locali sulla spiaggia nei pressi

Location very close to the beach, staff attentive to the needs of the group

Der Besitzer war super hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend! Der Strand ist traumhaft und menschenleer! Es gibt dennoch viele Möglichkeiten für Touren und Restaurants. Die Zimmer sind einfach und zweckmäßig!

De mensen in Sri Lanka zijn allemaal enorm aardig, maar de gastheer van dit hotel overtrof alle verwachtingen. Heel rustig en zorgzaam ontzorgde hij ons volledig. Er zit geen ontbijt bij het hotel, maar Joseph sneed fruit dat we gekocht hadden prachtig op borden en kleine flesjes water kregen we van hem als we die nodig hadden. Hij bracht ons naar mooie plekken met zijn tuktuk en regelde een geweldige driver voor ons naar Dambullah. We kregen zelfs een upgrade na een nacht naar kamers met balkon. Echt super!

De kamers zijn basic, maar helemaal oke, met airco en fan.

Accoglienza e servizio fantastico. Joseph ci ha trattato come famiglia, si è preso cura di aiutarci ad inviare le chiavi dell'hotel precedente che avevamo dimenticato nello zaino svegliandosi alle 5 del mattino senza chiederci niente. Ci ha preparato una colazione ad hoc per il gruppo con frutta fresca, cocco da bere, dolci e piatti locali. La struttura è a due passi dalla spiaggia, appena lontana dalla musica dei localini e quindi molto tranquilla. Ottimo servizio qualità-prezzo per gli standard di Nilaveli con un'occhio in più per l'esperienza occidentale. Joseph ha lavorato nella ristorazione con una coppia di italiani che vivono sull'isola e porta l'esperienza e la cura italiana nell'ospitalità. Ottimo caffè alla mattina :)

Great place, great host!!

Proprietario super gentile e disponibile. Ci ha dato ottimi consigli sulle escursioni e sui ristoranti. Se avessimo dovuto dare un voto solo per lo staff avremmo dato 10!

Camera datata ma soprattutto il bagno lascia a desiderare. La struttura andrebbe rimodernizzata interamente. Aggiungere la possibilità di poter fare almeno la colazione.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft direkt in der Nähe vom Strand und in Gehdistanz von der Tauchbasis von Divinguru. Der Manager bemüht sich, das Hotel zu sanieren und auszubauen.

Die Zimmer wurden während dem Aufenthalt nicht gereinigt.

Le personnel est très gentil et à nos petits soins . Ils ont été très arrangeants !

Closeness to beach. Super friendly and attentive staff

Nothing, but worth knowing that common areas including restaurant currently (July 2024) is closed due to renovations. We were allowed to use the coming rooftop bar area, which was a big plus

The staff were super friendly and always willing to help. They arranged my travel to the airport, diving and visit to the Kanniya Hotwell. I had a relaxed experience.

Nur der junge Mann an der Rezeption, der sich sehr bemüht hat, alles einigermaßen gut zu regeln.
