Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Lovely pool and dining area. The staff were very attentive and friendly.
Too near to the train line. Not a problem during the day but the early morning one was no good if you're a light sleeper.
Alles war entspannt,sehr angenehm. Besonders der Manager hat sich um alle Anliegen gekümmert.
Man hört den Zug.....aber ,so ist es eben
Der Poolbereich und die Zimmer sind grundsätzlich schön. Der Manager und ein weiterer Mitarbeiter waren sehr bemüht.
Das Personal war bemüht aber teilweise (auch mangels Englischkenntissen) nicht wirklich hilfreich. Die Türen unserer Zimmer waren extrem schwergängig - erst nach mehrmaligen Hinweis wurde zumindest ein Zylinder repariert. Die andere Tür musste aufgebrochen werden nachdem sich zwei Gäste darin eingesperrt haben. Der Toast beim Frühstück war teilweise hart und die Eier kalt. Die Bahnstrecke ist auch Nachts frequentiert und die Züge gut hörbar. Roomservice gibt es nur auf Nachfrage (was einem jedoch beim Check In nicht gesagt wird). Die Haupttür wird abends verschlossen und man muss anrufen um öffnen zu lassen oder man geht über eine Seitentüre rein (wird einem auch nicht beim Check In gesagt). Beim einchecken gab es kein Toilettenpapier im Zimmer- wurde jedoch auf Nachfrage sofort gebracht.
The lovely staff who made sure i had bags of honey marmalade fruit and curd for breakfast.. Dinidei the manager made sure i had everything. The pool was clean and empty except for me. Swimming at night watching the stars
Design of the shared space is beautiful! Nice small pool and plants everywhere. The staff is friendly and tried to be very helpful although sometimes it was hard to find somebody. They let us have a shower after check out, so we were thankful. Definitely recimmed a Srí Lankan breakfast over a continental one.
The room was a little bit wet and the bathroom had a strange odour. The room was hard to lock/unlock.
Only pluses were the architectural design and the interior decos of the reception area and the room was bigger and spacious
Right next to the southern railway track so it was super loud at night Rooms were specious but not clean Room door lock was broken but not fixed for ages Breakfast was the most hilarious plain and disgusting breakfast I have ever had in a hotel in Sri Lanka and other countries around the world One of the worse hotels I have ever stayed with my family
Amazing and quite place for holiday we really enjoyed our stay at Chariot Hikkaduwa. The food was great and they have great staff to look after the property.
The staff at Chariot are exceptional. They were prompt, courteous and extremely helpful. The property is so unique and well thought out — cosy, quiet and welcoming. The food is delicious and the location is pretty great.
The very friendly staff. We can tell they try their best to make our stay nice even though they seem untrained.
The toilet smells like drain. It’s not fresh at all. It has mould and really needs a refresh.
We stayed for 5 nights in January 2025. The hotel is new with nice architecture and interior. Good ambience by the pool. We had the largest room. Spacious with nice interior and two large double beds and a single. Very good WiFi. No noise from the main, busy road along the beach, trains go close by (rarely). We had several meals at the hotel. Credit to Neil, the chef, who served up one meal better than the other. Dinidu, the manager, and his staff did everything he could for our stay to be at its best. The hotel is small and tranquil.
The manager Davindru and Cristina were lovely and helped make the stay enjoyable. 5 star from them 2 guys. 👍
Hotel looks great first impressions, but the rooms are small and overpriced by a long margin on other places I have stayed in Sri Lanka.
Very pleasant location & very friendly staff. Specifically Mr.Dinindu arranged everything for our activity at the stay. Specially kayak which was our very first experience which was great. I’ll highly recommend this Hotel 🏨.
Very Goid
We booked a triple room, and the room had two king size beds which was comfortable and had enough room. Tasty food with good quantity. Small but a clean swimming pool.
The discriptor mentioned it was a garden view but there was a bare land which did have a good view. We had to pass a unsafty railway crossing to enter the hotel.
Everything was amazing! Very beautiful room, clean, air condition, great Staff, dlicious breakasts, etc. The best place:) and a gift at the end- what was a very nice surprice:) Thank you :)
Location was good . Staff gave a good service.
No card payment facility.
Food was excellent but some continental variety is preferable. The food was very tasty and serving excellent.
All fine for the value
We enjoyed my stay at The Chariot. Location is great and easy to travel from Airport and it took 2 hours to reach. From Check-in to Check-out, we experienced the same hospitality and personal care. When we said we were tired, and they arrange for us to go to room and then they did the check-in documentation which was great. It was a rainy day and could not enjoyed the garden much. Unfortunately, there was a power cut due to repair in National power grid due to heavy rain. Team is friendly. Experienced the Sri Lankan food which was great. Architecture was really beautiful and there are locations for the photography lovers. Highly recommendable resort to stay and enjoy your vacation.
Nothing
t was a sudden visit to the hotel. For a great deal from booking.com. Superb welcome. The location is very close to Hikkaduwa Beach, Galle, Madu River and Mirissa. Delicious breakfast and reasonable restaurant ala-carte food.
Everything is good and noting we don't like
One of the best Boutique resorts we enjoyed in Sri Lanka. It is an 8 rooms resort. but we love their hospitality, personal care, Sri Lanka tasty food. Crab curry was amazing. We love their Cement look finish all around the hotel with Rustic joinery and antique items. Room is spacious with all the facilities; bathroom is bit small. Overall, we got more than Value for money for our stay.
We had few groceries item requirement and team help me within hesitance. We experienced TV and internet issue, Once we informed, they rectified it.
It was my first trip to Srilanka and I had a great deal from Booking.com. I hear about a nick name for Srilanka as "Smiling nation" . I experience the same with hotel staff and other people who I met outside. I highly recomond Srilanka as tour destination, is really safe and Value for money trip. Location - It is beautiful place with easy access to Main road, Railway station and beach. Safety and privacy is high within the property Hotel - Architecture was really beautiful I love it. Rooms are sizable. Design is beautiful. Even though it is a boutique hotel, all the facilities are there within the room including tea/coffee and bathroom amenities. Bathroom is bit small. But It is fit for purpose. We had all facilities within the room such as Air conditioned room, TV , internet connection. Staff- They are so friendlily, helpful and always smiling Food- Food was great.. Tried lots of seafood.. Recommend to try their sea food platter which is great Cleanness - It is well-maintained hotel. Rooms are cleaned well. Thank you THe Chariot Hikkduwa team. I will see you again.
It was a great stay in The chariot hikkaduwa. While we were booking the hotel we worried a bit as there was no much review about the hotel as it is Newly built hotel . But ,!We were so happy about our selection. Great team with grade hospitality. Always supportive. We had a TV issue and they solved quickly and said sorry thousand times which shows the hospitality for customers. When we ate hoppers I felt the same taste how my mom use to make hoppers . Homey feeling which was great. We love the architecture of the hotel. Highly recommend and we will visit again
We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you chariot team. Food is really good.. We love for spicy food. We tried the fish therapy which was totally free.It’s a beautiful boutique hotel .. star level personal care , clean , team is really friendly, food is amazing , breakfast is really good and I had to skip my lunch (LOL) as it was heavy meal.. very close to all locations including 200m from beach Had an opportunity to attend a cooking class which was organised by hotel which was a great experience.We bought curry power from Srilanka. It’s a calm and beautiful place to relax ..definitely I will visit again
nothing
From checking to checkout, we had a great support from team with a smile. I was sick and they immediately took me to a doctor which was a great support. Food amazing , string hoppers and chicken curry was really tasty . Noticed that Personally talked to guest. With the Lightings in the night , it’s like heaven, beautiful. We enjoyed our stay . Thank you Chariot Hikkaduwa team .
It was beyond my expectations. Nothing to say anything about it.
Lovely people, beautiful and relaxing hotel, clean , tasty food , close to beach (5min).. 10 min to hikkaduwa beach ( recommend to go to this beach ) Easily can take public buses as 5 min to main road. Highly recommend.
Nothing to say much.
I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend The Chariot Hikkaduwa Resort to anyone seeking exceptional accommodations and service. During my recent stay, I experienced unparalleled hospitality and comfort. The hotel's amenities, cleanliness, and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. Their warm and friendly demeanor made me feel valued and welcome. The hotel's location, room, dinings were equally impressive, offering stunning variety. I appreciated the all amenities and services, which added to my overall satisfaction.
