The Classic-hostel-apt-deluxe

The location was good because it was at a backstreet and away from the main road. The kitchenette was convenient for cooking. The tap water is drinkable. Toiletries were provided. The shampoo and soap smelled really good. The shower has a heater. Utensils were provided in the kitchenette. The aircon worked well. The hosts were friendly and nice. There is also a water dispenser outside for guests who don't drink tap water.

The place needs maintenance. The spatula was burned so I had to scrape off the melted parts to make it flat again. There are two outlets in the kitchenette but only one works for the refrigerator, electric kettle and oven so basically you have to unplug one of the appliances just to use one. There isn't a rice cooker, a rice cooker would have been convenient. The refrigerator was a little dirty. The front wall of the kitchenette isn't painted, its just rough bare concrete. Same in the bathroom, 40 perfect of the bathroom walls isn't painted or tiled up but the walls are smooth. There are gecko droppings on some parts of the walls because they come in through the bathroom window same with the ants. The place is dusty because of construction, they are expanding the property adding more rooms and stuff. One day the owner of the property told me that I should turn of the aircon from time to time to give it a rest since it's running 24 hours. That never happened in my life where the owner or manager of a hotel or apartment tells me to shut off the air conditioner. That didn't seem right since I'm the customer who paid for a room with aircon. I told him I turn it off whenever I go out. It didn't make sense when he told me that I should turn off the aircon because I paid to stay in an aircon room.

房間鄰近海灘，附近亦有超市同食店, 更設有廚房可以自己煮野食 屋主親切有禮

房間本身好好, 不過缺乏妥善維護, 例如怕蟻既就慘, 好在我唔怕, 另外風扇係長期冇抹過塵,蚊帳都係, 如果勤力啲清潔下其實係唔錯架呢度, 雖然依家對backpacker黎講都幾好

It was very convenient and hone cozy! The staff was soo lovely and it was clean and quiet which I really liked.

The room got insanely hot without ac, so every night I had to keep the doors open for a few hours before sleep because there is no ventilation.

Günstige Übernachtung um was in Weligama etwas zu erleben.

Tags über wurde es sehr heiß in dem Zimmer und hat sich zu dem Abend nicht abgekühlt. Zudem hat man jedes Auto / Tuktuk vorbei fahren hören in der Nacht.

Super nette und hilfsbereite Familie. Saubere Zimmer. Kleine Außenküche.

Mein Zimmer im Erdgeschoss war leider recht dunkel und an heißen Tagen etwas stickig. Freude hatte jedoch ein Zimmer in der 1.Etage dort war es hell und luftig…

The kitchen inside the room is well equipped: even the microwave which is a rare find across Weligama. The room is bright with lots of lightning coming through. The host is welcoming. The water is free. Nice common area. And amazing location in quiet area!

The property is well worn. Even my bedsheets had holes in it. Because it’s the first floor I was always fighting spiders, ants and even gecko who came couple of times through the AC (how?). The door, which is also the window, is located that way that everybody can see what you do inside - it was uncomfortable when going to the bathroom. And after 6:30 the light from the toilet made it impossible to sleep. For me it was not a problem, bc I get up early to surf, but keep in mind. Lastly, no washing machine was available (laundry only).

Au calme et à 10 minutes de la plages et du centre commercial, partie commune agréable

The location is good, not too far from local restaurants, the supermarket and the beach. There is a local shop at the end of the road.

The bedsheets and underbedding were stained and small insects were crawling on my bed. The room was very hot, with two fans not doing the job. The pillows were worn, stained and yellowed. The bed was also very short.

Nice place to stay, the lady who runs it was very friendly. We had a fan room and there was an extra fan in there which was useful, there is an area to make tea/coffee, the bathroom is clean and the beds were comfortable. For us the location was good as it was about 10 minute walk to the beach but there are accommodations closer but this to us was good value for money.

Clean and good location

Nothing

Die Dame war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Die Lage ist top und man hat eine eigene Küche. Außerdem ist der Preis unschlagbar.

Das Zimmer war nicht so wie auf dem Bild, bzw. hatte ich bei den Fenstern Luftschlitze was ja erstmal nicht schlimm ist aber im Bambusstrauch beim gemeinsamen Draußenbad waren Kakerlaken und ich bilde mir ein sie auch bei mir unter der Decke (unterm Dach) gehört zu haben. In meinem Zimmer waren sie aber nicht sichtbar und mit dem Ventilator dann auch nicht mehr hörbar.

Enkelt rum, men rent! Väldigt vänligt ägare! Enkel kök utomhus, men allt som behövs finns!

Nice location. Room as described. Little kitchen area you could also use with a fridge. Bathroom is shared between three rooms and is kept clean. The location is easy to the town and beach. But in a more local area so nice and quiet.

Meer dan prima. Grote kamer en warme douche! Locatie is op loopafstand van alles.

Het bed was erg hard.

Vriendelijke mensen en groot appartement

Fantastic room, very clean and comfortable. Excellent location, very friendly and welcoming staff. Price is very fair and you laundry service is available for a good price as well.

Owners are the best. Amazing family

No thing!!

The room is perfect , the location is next to the beach , the personnel of the hostel is so kind

Molt net, molt comfortable i molt agradable. Molt bona atenció! Vaig reservar per una nit i m'hi vaig quedar cinc nits!

מקום רגוע ואנשים מאד נחמדים

Neet and clean

Friendly staff

The owner is very nice and we have privacy

AC was not available in the room I took but they have rooms with AC

Fantastic! This was one of my best stays in Weligama. It’s very close to the beach, restaurants, and supermarkets, yet quiet and away from the busiest road. The room was clean and spacious, as was the common area. Plus, you can rent a bike at a great price!

Very good location, close to many restaurants and the beach. It is located not close to the main street so it was quite quiet. Comfortable bed and well working AC. Small kitchen in the room so i could prepare some breakfast.

The smell in the room was very bad. The felling was that this room was not used for months or so.. Owners said they will put some air refresher but didn’t see it.. the air conditioning was helping with this as well. The overall room was clean but for example fridge was so dirty and smelled bad that i didnt put there any food..

Good location, exceptional host!

The hostess was very kind and hospitable When I visit Weligama next year I’m going to book The Classic hostel apt-deluxe again Best location in Weligama-/-within walking distance to beach, restaurants, shops, ATM. Machine. Can hire bicycle as alternative way to see Weligama Clean bedroom kitchen and shower facility Kind Host and family Felt very safe and secure travelling as a solo female Great functional outdoor kitchen Thank you Hostess from New Zealand

The location is great. The room is clean and there’s also a very nice kitchen, where you can cook and enjoy your meal:) Maybe it was a bit hot during the day, but there’s a fan, so it helps. This is a great value for money!

Nothing

Everything is perfect i have nothing to say… except that you’ll never meet someone nicer than the owner Dileepa. She is so soft and will provide any thing you need. I booked 3 nights and i extended 3 more weeks ! It is well located, clean and close to the surf spots (5min walk to the beach) and Nice restaurants. You can access the kitchen, the fridge and the outdoor area. If you hesitate go book, then don’t. You’ll feel like home here.

Clean room, friendly host, nice location

Nothing

I stayed here for a week and it’s the perfect place to re-charge and it’s so comfortable! 10 mins walk to the main center and to the beach. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

Really lovely room, super nice to have the fridge and kitchen and even a living area.

It was an upstairs room and it was extremely hot. The AC and fan work but both were very very loud. Struggled to sleep during my stay. Also there are a lot of animals that would run across the balcony and stairs during the night and make a lot of noise.

Clean, hot shower, good location and friendly owner.

Nothing

Amazing stay - 100% recommend. I booked twin room for 3 weeks, very comfortable bed, room had enough space for some yoga practice, table, mirror and coathangers also in the room. Everything was very clean, good shower - never ran out of water. There is a communal kitchen for use and also drinking water available from a filter which was a great bonus. They also have a bicycle available for rent and offer laundry service. Host and her family are lovely people - stay is close to weligama beach, but far enough away to be quiet and away from the bustle. I would definitely stay again! Thankyou ❤️❤️❤️

Nothing, everything very good.

I definitely recommend The Classic as a solo female traveler. I felt extremely safe and comfortable. It’s also situated with easy access to Welligama, Midigama, Mirissa, and Ahangama which are all a short bus ride away for less than $1! The bus stops right off the main road The Classic. Pros: -great price -universal location -very quiet, safe neighborhood -less than 10 minute walk to the beach -fully equipped and spacious kitchen/dining area -dining area has full speed wifi -free filtered water -the family who runs it are very kind and accommodating to anything you need -nice hot showers -laundry service or bucket available to do your own -even with a shared bathroom, it was always clean and available -two fans and mosquito net made the room comfortable -bicycle for rent

Cons: -WiFi does not reach the rooms (I was in the ones across the street); they need to purchase a second router for the other building -upon arrival the room had a mildew smell due to the island humidity but the owner promptly purchased air fresheners -the rooms could use a small bedside lamp for night time

Spacious, clean room with a fridge, great a/c and a fan. Very comfy bed. We ended up extending our stay by an extra 2 nights

There were no mosquito nets in the room, it wasn’t an issue as there were no mosquitoes around. Overall, the stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The room was clean, and the staff were friendly!

Family was really nice and friendly. Bed was nice and comfy. Would come back anytime.

Lovely apartment! You can go anywhere on foot. There is a kitchen and fridge that you can use. We had a shared bathroom and it was always super clean. The owner is super kind and friendly! Absolutely recommend!

The Design, location, cleanliness, host, and value for money exceeded my expectations. The rooms are built with efficient use of small spaces. The hosts were very friendly and ensured we had a comfortable stay. I liked how the entire facility was designed, especially the room layout, small verandah, garden, and particularly the bamboo bush near the common bathroom area, which gives the place a pleasant coastal vibe. The common toilet was also well-designed, ensuring all guests could use it without any issues

I have a small suggestion to enhance the comfort of the rooms. It would be better to replace the front window side glasses with timber louvers, allowing for better ventilation when the windows are closed at night. Currently, the hot air remains trapped inside, and while the fan circulates air, it doesn't help reduce the heat effectively. Everything else was designed efficiently

friendly lady who runs this place, great lokalite, for the price very good, clean

I loved this place, I stayed in a room with kitchen and private bathroom. But what I loved most was the family who run the property, they were so welcoming and made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. Highly recommend this place. Walking distance to the main shops and beach!

10 out of 10. Highlights: the owners and the property itself. We stayed in a twin room that looks like your own apartment. Clean sheets, towels, a fan and mosquito nets are provided and the shower/toilet is outside clean and with warm water. There are also some chairs outside of the room where you can chill. The location is nice, less than 10min walk from the center/bus station and in a quite area. Furthermore, in the common open area there are some tables, a fridge and some kitchen gadgets to cook for yourself if needed. The area is so welcoming to have some breakfast, chill or as I did, to do some laptop work (wifi works perfectly!) Couldn’t ask for more, specially the owners, they are so kind, welcoming and taking care of every detail and helping with everything we needed. We were planing to stay one night and ended up staying five! Highly recommended!

The owners are amazing. They accepted to do the check-in in the middle of the night because I arrived with the night bus. They offered to cook for me one night (it was delicious). Also the location is super nice, at 5min from the beach, in a very quiet place, just behind a railroad along which you can walk.

The room was quite hot and not perfectly clean but it was more than acceptable for this price.

It was clean and neat and also closer to city

Wow. What an amazing place. Quiet, comfortable, well-located, and the kindest, most attentive hosts. Can't wait to return for a long stay.

The location was amazing and the family who own it are super nice and friendly & always smiling ready to help.

The rooms and the bathroom could’ve been cleaner. There was no soap so we bought our own but had to carry it between sink and shower to wash. There were ants in the room which seems to bite during the night. The room can get quite hot overnight even with the window open

It was near the beach and the host was so lovely - she brought me a candle when their was a power cut! The room was clean with a fan and quiet from any outside noise.

Very clean room, everything what you need, perfect location for visiting the town and surfing. The people are very friendly.

Smooth check in, comfortable bed, clean room

Everything met expectations

Nice place

The tuktuk drivers chatted and listened to loud music in the evening. There was a party going on in the neighborhood.

Big clean room! With Ac & fan

Host was really welcoming and accommodating. Location was perfect, just back from the surf beach. Would definitely stay again!

Charming owners, and very good location to stay close to Weligama Beach for cheap price.

Only 1 bathroom to share, but very clean

Staff was really nice, close to the center.

We stayed here two weeks in the double room with kitchen and it was great! We loved having our own space with a daybed and kitchen. The kitchen had a minifridge, stovetop burner, kitchenware, and a sink. There was a hot water shower too. The wifi worked well for the area.

Thank you for a pleasant stay. The owners are ultra nice. The owner is always cleaning and so the place is really very clean. The accommodation has a great location, close to the beach but quiet. Can make use of the kitchenette, fridge etc. Thank you, we are satisfied and we even extended our stay.

I highly recommend staying here! It’s the perfect little place to relax and for such a cheap price! The family are so friendly and welcoming too 😊

Outside kitchen and sitting area to enjoy your own breakfast Quite modern and new accommodation Overall clean Friendly lady who owns the place

Strange service charge on top of the price after arriving, still no room cleaning in 6 nights stay. Shower either freezing or boiling Ongoing construction right next door

It was close to the beach. Friendly staff

Cleaning once a week. There are always a lot of insects in the room on the first floor. The kettle didn't work. There is a musty smell in the room

Private room with AC was great, comfortable and clean and the non-ac room was small but also clean. The family that owns the property were really kind and helpful and I highly recommend staying there!

Not much

The Family is really lovely 🌹 clean lovely room, nice bathroom and little kitchen. It's close to the little center of Weligama, 5 minutes by walking. 3 minutes to the beach, good restaurants around .

Everything is fine, kind hostess, always clean, pleasant place. One of the best places in Veligama.

Great location. Nice and cosy place. Very simple and basic, has everything you need for life in Weligama.

Very good location: 5 min to Weligama beach and surf spot, a lot of cafes around but located at quite street. The host Dilipha is very friendly and always helps when you ask. Even cooked for me food when I was sick. She is not good in English, so sometimes we use translator to communicate. But often it don’t needed I’m in love with the shower under the sky. Also kitchen area looking very nice. There you can cook or chill or even work. Everywhere is very clean. They do cleaning of common areas every morning

Wi-Fi at the other side from the main building isn’t too good (especially at evening time). But at kitchen all works. The cheapest room is small and with no ac, so it’s better to choose this variant if you not for “long term” stay here or it you will spend only nights at hotel
