Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Owner Nikki was enormously helpful when our daughter needed to go to the doctor. Referring to a good doctor, arranging transport and giving advice. While there was also a place in the street that overcharges tourists. That's way more than you can expect of any hotel!
Clean. Great pool. Great food. Lovely staff. Central location. 200 yards from a lovely beach.
Nothing. We were warned about party night on Friday. It stoped at 1am as promised.
We chose to upgrade to the nicest room which was great, very comfortable and nice bathroom. The location was great for hikkaduwa and the staff were lovely.
We were originally in the budget room which was a bit dirty and the door didn’t feel like it locked very well. I would not want to be staying here on the party night.

ALSo bathroom cant be closed for noise engine AC from inside the sleeproom Bar and garden downstares oke but on each fryday music loud stage next to bedroom till 5 am!!!!

Местоположение
Убирают только по просьбе
O hotel tem excelentes funcionários, sempre prontos a ajudar com um sorriso na cara, a entrada principal do hotel é muito atrativa e o facto de haver festa á sexta foi muito engraçado. A localização é excelente
Fiquei 4 dias a água não aqueceu em nenhum dos dias, os quartos não era bem preparados para o som exterior sobretudo se não pretendem participar da festa, e as portas não fecham bem, cria uma certa insegurança. No último dia pelas 22h/23h a água parou de correr mal entrei no duche e ficou assim por uns 20 mins. Entretanto resolveram a situação. Não sei se é por ser um quarto económico mas era fora do edifício e isolado não parecia ter quase ninguém naquela zona. Na zona exterior infelizmente muitos mosquitos. Tem que ter uma mudança, n
Amazing hotel ,name says the vibe of the place. Very well maintained super friendly staff. We have tried many Japanese dishes . I recommend kuwayaki 🇯🇵🍱😋❤️
🙅🏻♀️
Everything had been amazing Staff very professional and welcoming guests at the top! Cozy atmosphere Nice rooms with all amenities
Very good hotel. Best staff.
Piscine PDJ Gentillesse personnel Boîte de nuit
Souci de douche à plusieurs reprises, le personnel a tout fait pour mais un peu long
Цена была невысокой
Грязно, шумно…. Это все таки дискотека и надо это принимать в расчет
The staff was amazing food is great good value for money close to everting
Location was perfectly superb
Its in the city centre. Friday night party was awesome.
Lunch and dinner menu had mostly Japanese dishes. No other options.
Staff were very friendly, room comfortable and restaurant was an added bonus, enjoyed a range of food from the menu
Beautiful place , nice and clean . Comfortable rooms .
Fabulous location in central Hikkaduwa near bars and some of the best eateries on the south coast, rooms were a good size with a charming balcony area with great views. Awesome pool area with private nooks for getaway group gatherings. In the Vibration Club, scintillating party space with a well thought out dance floor and raised table areas for chilling. Spectacular performances from local Dj's and impromptu walkabout characters. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable evening for me and my English buddies. A real surprise to find such a down to earth, authentic Hotel/Disco combo on the shores of beautiful Sri Lanka. I'd totally recommend the Arrack based cocktails. A good night was had by all.
The location of the hotel was great! In the centre of Hikkaduwa, very close to shops and restaurants.
Room was very hot, Air con & fan barely worked made the 2 night stay very unbearable. Asked reception if they offered laundry service and was told no. Asked the reception if they could arrange a taxi for our onwards journey and got told no.
1. The bathroom's window was open plan so the bathroom was full of mosquitoes. 2. The window in the room was partially broken so the room was full of mosquitoes. 3. The bathroom door couldn't close and as I was traveling with a friend one of the two of us had to be outside ... And the mosquitoes were able to roam around bathroom and room with joy. (I do understand that this is what you get in a tropical paradise but outside and not in the room that you paid to have broken Windows. ) The ladies at the reception were simply horrible, lack of English and communication skills and laughing when we talked seriously.... I have no words to describe that I don't suggest the place or at least the room 12 and their services The plugs were placed in the most unwanted spots lacking of comfort
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly. The Friday night Valentines party was great fun.
The room smelt a bit damp and there were no towels in our room on arrival. The staff did bring some when we asked. It seemed a little pricey compared to other similar places.
Beautifully presented and in a perfect location!
Nothing
Room, Pool and Breakfast was very good.
None.
Good location near restaurants and the beach
Rooms could do with some attention, the budget ones didn’t feel super clean and there were a lot of mosquitos. We were told about the party on a Friday but it really is that loud that you can’t really sleep until it’s over so you’d need good earplugs.
I have stayed here many times over the years. I always love the Friday night party. Was soo happy to be staying on one of the newly refurbished rooms on the top floor. Well done vibration hotel.. investing money to modernise the hotel. I will be back again very soon
Nothing, everything was great
Had a lovely new years here! The breakfast was delicious as was all of the other food. Staff were brilliant the whole time and even helped remove a big spider from our room 🤣! The facilities are brilliant and so beautiful. Loved the garden and pool area so tranquil. Brilliant location right near the beach restaurants and shops!
Very good location if you are looking to surf or to party
Very basic amenities
It’s in the city centre, the Vibration club is happening and the service, the maintenance of the room is excellent.
If you want to feel real Sri Lanka vibe choose Vibration! Ocean is across the street, club under the balcony and Japanese restaurant in the hotel, what else one needs for the best vacation? 💃 Staff is suuuper friendly, we loved everyone so much just dont wanted to leave, but we will be back 💯 💃😁
Good Location, right across the beach, rooms were clean, staff friendly and prompt, pool was nice if you are not in the mood for the waves and the crowds from the beach
Pool gets dirty from the trees and vegetation and it’s not regularly cleaned but overall, it offers privacy and you can spend quality time there and relax without disturbance from staff, etc
Nice pool area, nature decor, and intimate. Nice common areas. Beautiful room, Greek style. Awesome to stay during the weekly party. Your room opens to the dance floor practically. Beach across the street.
The loveliest place I stayed in Sri Lanka at. The room was clean, cozy and very spacious. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the owner is always around and is super lovely and attentive, always making everyone feel at home. The location is really convenient and the hotel has a great area to chill and hang out when you don’t want to go out.
Lovely staff. Nice location and breakfast
Mouldy bathroom and slightly stained sheets
Beautiful room and also very clean! The pool was also very nice. After checkout they still let us use the pool and showers for the entire day while they looked after our bags.
They offered us free breakfast if we cancelled our original booking, which we didn't want to do because of cancellation costs. A very nice offer but a little weird considering the cancellation costs.
Great location, right across the road from the beach, lots of restaurants right outside the hotel
Hotel pool didn’t have a bar close by and no staff close to get extra towels. Room didn’t have hot water for our 3 day stay, complained was told to turn the tap in the opposite direction and run it for 10min - ran water for 20min still not hot water, not offered a room change, discount or a credit at the hotel restaurant - only on last night was offered a shower in another room on lower level to use for one shower.
Great location, best beach area just passing the road in 50m. Wide range of indoor facilities. Tasty breakfast. Pool. Comfortable beds. Terrase with sun-chairs. Cool Friday parties. Welcoming and helpful staff.
A bit used.
The best place in hikkaduwa, just in front of the surf spot, and the owner is the best🥰
location and service
All good
Good location, close to the beach and the main street, super spacious room, good aesthetics, friendly staff
Third bed in the triple room has a mattress for kids and hence not suitable for three adults. If you don’t ask, room will not be cleaned. Was unfortunately forgotten even though we have asked.
We stayed one night at Vibrations Hikkaduwa. I enjoyed the Friday vibe, and everything went well. Thank you.
The price the staff and the location were amazing.
The loud parties on Thursday nights
Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. They played thumping music until 11pm. No wonder they call it vibration hotel. Definitely find somewhere else to stay. It’s also infested with mosquitos. Air con didn’t work when I arrived and had to change rooms.
Loud Music till 11pm. Mosquitos. Untrained staff. Poor showers. Uncomfortable bed.
Room was great, clean, good air-con, location was perfect, great beach over the road, the Friday night party in the nightclub / garden / live music venue was amazing. Additionally the staff, both when I was there and when I needed to contact them after I had left were beyond helpful.
NA
The room very specious, cleaned, comfortable. The summing pool is nice. good atmosphere. Friendly staff.
they have to take more care about utility facilities sch as water presure, taps,shiwer,tv , A/c services ect.
They have the best Japanese dishes! 😍 Staff was very friendly. They have a nice clean pool. Totally loved the vibe!
good place
Breakfast was very good, served by the guest's wish..I liked fruit so much, it was served in big portion.
Hotel is very nice, with beautiful garden and small fish pond inside it, but therefore you can find moskitoes inside thr room.
Good vibes, good location
Non
I LOVED the location of the hotel which was not away from the main city. Loved the ambience, colors , greenery and the concept. The staff were very friendly and Nikeshala was very professional. We personally like the event which was happening on the premises. Would recommend everyone to visit the premises. Also, would like to highlight the breakfast was good too.
I wish if the toilets had floor rags and the pool was a little cleaner.
Excellent clean property...across the road from beach. We stayed in air con room as an upgrade. Dont stay here on a Friday night if you want an early night as there is a very noisy party...we were pre warned. Pool area is lovely.
The hotel was OK - but the pool was murky which was did not look hygienic enough to swim in and was not cleaned during our stay, the room stank of cigarettes and male aftershave, and there was a misinterpretation at our checkin which took some time to resolve as the room we had seen advertised and booked was not what they had recorded to give us (although the guy was nice and tried his best). The worst part of the stay was a female staff member, who we assume must've been management although I hope not as she never introduced herself and was highly unprofessional and rude. Our second & last night at the hotel, she came over to us at dinner and just starting speaking AT us in an irate tone, saying she permitted us having A/C last night but cannot tonight, acting and speaking like we'd advertised her room incorrectly and it was our fault and she claimed the guy who checked us in didn't speak English (which he did). We kept trying to explain but she continued to interrupt us and wouldn't let us speak. She walked off on the phone and said no more but when we returned to our room half hour later the air-conditioning had been disconnected. There are so many places to stay in Hikkaduwa and I definitely do not recommend staying here.
Booked with a deal and then got a free upgrade to a standard room when checking in as well. The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms are spacious. There was no shower head or air conditioning controller in my room but it didn't prove too much of a problem. The pool area offered a nice change to the beach and offered plenty of shade. It was very quiet out of season but seemed to be geared up to be much more lively in season.
We stayed two nights in this hotel and the overall experience was ok but wouldn't book for the next stay. Lobby/restaurant was nice and the backyard was very big. Wifi didn't work for us. The rooms were quite plain and everything was made out of concrete. We had a budget room with no ac, only a fan. Otherwise the hotel was really calm except the Friday. It you don't like to party and stay up late do not choose this hotel because it will be loud! The party looked great though. Breakfast was ok.
Extremely disappointed with level of service. Toilet seat was broken when asked to fix, did not fix for the whole day. Shower pressure is poor. Service was poor and staff were rude. We decided to leave. After agreeing to refund half of the money they decided not to refund anything. Poor service. Rude staff. Poorly maintained rooms. Would not ever stay here ever again.
