Konaklamamız gerçekten harikaydı! Özellikle yemyeşil bahçeye bakan balkonunu çok sevdik. Ev sahibi ve ailesi son derece ilgili, yardımsever ve güler yüzlüydü. Konaklamamız boyunca ihtiyacımız olan her konuda bize yardımcı oldular. Ev çok temizdi, kahvaltı ise gerçekten mükemmeldi. Konumu da oldukça güzel; çevrede çok güzel restoranlar var ve plajların tamamına yürüyerek ulaşabilirsiniz. Meşhur Dream Cabana salıncağı hemen karşısında, kaplumbağalar ise çok yakın mesafede. Sri Lanka’da 10 gün geçirdik ve bu süre boyunca 5 farklı yerde konakladık. Hiç şüphesiz, kaldığımız yerler arasında en güzeli burasıydı. Kendimizi evimizde gibi hissettik. Her şey için bu güzel ve yardımsever aileye çok teşekkür ederiz. Sri Lanka’ya tekrar gelirsek kesinlikle yeniden burada kalmak isteriz. Kesinlikle tavsiye ediyoruz!
Cosy apartment, jungle-brutalism style, balcony with a great view
Das Studio ist ein wunderbarer Ort und die Gastgeber sind super herzlich. Das Frühstück ist ein Traum! Alles sehr sauber, voll eingerichtete Küche und ein grosses, bequemes Bett mit Moskitonetz. Wir können das Chilli Studio Apartment nur empfehlen.
By far the best place we stayed in during 2 weeks in Sri Lanka, great value for money. The interior design is impressive, and the apartment is very spacious, with a nice terrace. The bathroom was also spacious and modern, with a separated shower (which is quite rare in this region and was highly appreciated). The breakfast was also excellent (loved the hoppers), wifi and AC were working well. Thank you to our friendly and helpful host and his family!
Just some tiny ants in some areas of the apartment, and there could be a bit more lighting - but apart from that everything was perfect!
Wonderful location withing seven minutes walk of Turtle beach, where you can feed and snorkel with turtles. - Go early at sunrise and you will be amazed. Private, furnished balcony at the back of the property was very comfortable, with resident pond heron, and passing mongoose and monkeys on a daily basis. Restaurants, local stores and a good bus service within a few minutes walk. Genuine, warm welcome by the host Kumara and his family - and the included breakfasts on a daily basis were served on our balcony and were delicious. Wifi was strong and reliable and the bathroom had an excellent shower and good hot water. The bed was comfortable and the studio had everything we needed.
Проживание просто чудесное, чисто, уютно, всё работает: холодильник, плита, душ и т. д. Завтраки договорились в 8 часов, и ровно в 8 нам стучали в дверь. Решали все вопросы, от трансфера до покупки креветок и рыбы, всегда на связи. Студия с балконом просто чудесная! Спасибо за отличный отдых! Здоровья этой прекрасной семье!
One of our favourite places we stayed in Sri Lanka! So open and spacious with your own fridge and kitchen! The family are super welcoming, provided plenty of breakfast! The property is just a short walk from the beach and on the outskirts of Unawatuna so a lot more peaceful! We got a tuk tuk in for 500 rupees each night to go for dinner
Everything was fabulous
The studio was so tidy, neatly arranged on short notice. And it exceeded my expectations in so many ways, from the facilities (shower, kitchen, furnitures, balcony) to how spacious it was. A/C plus ceiling fans make an ideal combo to adjust the room temperature as desired. The details on the decoration were so well curated. And the sri lankan breakfast was incredible, with plenty of delicacies so rich in flavors. Kudos to Kumara and all his family for arranging this great accommodation in such an awesome destination
. The location is pretty close to the train line. And they come loud in the morning. But I guess most places in the area would have the same issue . There's no sign indicating the location . The floor was slippery, maybe from waxing? . The room could have an option of main light. It felt dark even with all the lamps on
The property is absolutely gorgeous. I stayed here for 3 nights and would recommend it to anyone visting Galle. The interior of the room was very pleasant and the kitchen had all equipments one could need. The room and washroom was all very clean and exactly as expected. The host and his family live downstairs and are very sweet people- available if we need any help. The property is also just 5 mins away from the Dalawelle beach where one can swim with the turtles. The outdoor sitting was so comfortable as well- an amazing place to enjoy the yummy complimentary breakfast they provide- excellent sri lankan food with a large variety of fruits.
It was very comfortable had everything you d need. The price was excellent and a short walk to the beach in a quite setting. The family that host the studio are so kind and helpful Breakfast huge too much but tasty.
There was nothing not to like
Понравилось все. Хозяева очень доброжелательные, услужливые, позитивные,готовые решить любые вопросы и помочь во всем. Условия проживания отличные, есть все необходимое и даже больше. Шикарные завтраки это отдельная песня. Все ООООчень вкусно и разнообразно. До пляжа с черепахами 5 минут пешком, рядом все необходимое есть. Очень хороший вариант по соотношению "цена - качество". РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!!!
Минусов нет вообще
WE LOVED EVERYTHING about the Chilli Studio a beautiful well kept private large apartment with a comfy bed, massive fully equipped kitchen and large balcony for you to eat the wonderful Sri Lankan breakfast prepared by Kumara and his beautiful family. You might even spot a monkey if you are lucky. Kumara made us feel so welcome he kept in touch with us to see if we were Ok and if we needed anything. He organised our trip to Udawalawe for us as well which was an amazing day. Thanks Kumara and your amazing family for the best stay we will never forget...Leanne and Melissa x
This is a great place to stay..,,lovely clean studio with a private balcony upon which a delicious breakfast is served. Very comfortable bed. The studio is well equipped with all needed to prepare own meals if required big fridge:freezer cook top kettle blender etc It’s spacious and well decorated and would definitely be suitable for longer stays than the 3 nights we stayed. Above all the host who lives downstairs was extremely hospitable and friendly and organised Tuk tuk driver at reasonable price for our onward transfer. There is a train line at back of property but this isn’t a problem at all and didn’t disturb us. I would recommend Chilli studio without hesitation and would stay there again if in the area.
Nothing to dislike….all good.
Our 2-week stay at the Chili Studio apartment made us feel right at home. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed into the family. Forget hotels—this was a genuine experience, a chance to be part of a Sri Lankan home. The highlight of each morning was the Sri Lankan breakfast made by Mama, with dishes like hoppers, string hoppers, and coconut sambol, along with dal, fresh fruit, and a cup of tea. All this while watching the squirrels and monkeys! You're immersed in nature yet close to all the local amenities, and the beach is just a three-minute walk away. Unfortunately, we got sick for a couple of days during our stay. This is when the true heart of this home shone through. In addition to regular check-ins, Kumara was kind enough to give us some Ayurvedic syrup, and his mom made us vegetable soup that made us feel so much better. It's true that the apartment is near the train station; however, this won't bother you if you're an early riser and plan to spend your days outside. The trains run approximately every couple of hours from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. We will definitely visit again and stay at the Chili Studio 🌶️
We had an amazing experience here with Kumara and his family. Thank you for the hospitality, attention to detail and care. We stayed here for five nights altogether, and we felt comfortable the entire time. The apartment is a large space, full of character. It is very clean with a great outdoor area to relax in. We had a tuktuk which made it easy to get around, we were allowed to park inside the property too. The breakfast was amazing - we couldn't finish them - you can count on starting your day with a full stomach. Honestly - thank you so much for making our stay in Unawatuna so memorable and special.
Amazing simple place.
Self contained, private studio apartments with a well equipped kitchen and lots of space. Balcony was a really nice space to relax and watch the trains go by. Great breakfast served by Kumara’s family who stay downstairs
If you’re a light sleeper the train runs just behind the apartment, but we quite enjoyed watching the trains go by and it didn’t bother us
Stunning room! Could watch peacocks and moneys from the private balcony.
