We absolutely loved our stay at this rare to find classic old style Sri Lankan home away from home place. Stunningly beautiful part of the beach and access to being right on the beach, beautiful calm, peaceful atmosphere and gorgeous building with good natural earthy quality wooden floor and furnishings, with much soul and character and charm! Staff are kind, generous, , and service is petainal human with a loving smile as I find in almost all parts of Sri Lanka. There are now many ‘fancy’ but soul less, impersonal,transactional, consumerist hotels made and run by money hungry giants - whilst it looks great on outside staying at soul less hotels truly does not make things memorable unlike this beautiful hotel. Superb hotel. Fully recommend. Thank you Suite Lanka staff and hotel. We will love stay with you again and bring others. Couple of recommendations- Please continue to serve traditional Sri Lankan exquisite cuisine- and continue its authenticity which is what myself and I’m sure many other Sri Lankan and non Sri Lankan native tourists are coming for and seeking! Stronger power of the shower would be much appreciated. And lastly please stay heart centred and don’t change to become more commercial / mass market etc. We love your unique classic authentic charm! Warm wishes to all x

Dear ThuvarakaWe appreciate your thoughtful and sensitive review and we are delighted that you enjoyed our stay. It has got us thinking. We are planning to add Sri Lankan black pork curry to our menu to add another favourite Sri lankan dish. And finally - after a year of frustration - we have managed to get a more powerful water pump which we hope to put into operation this weekend. Sorry that it was not in time for your visit.

Great choice for families
We had a lovely stay at Suite Lanka. Great location on the beach and very easy and welcoming with children. We stayed for 6 nights with two children aged 3 and 1 and all had a great time. We stayed in a one bedroom suite, which is ideal with children as it's on the ground-floor and easy to pop back from the beach, pool and restaurant. The rooms are large and fully equipped, we borrowed a travel cot that was good quality. The pool is quiet and we often had it too ourselves, which was great for the kids to splash about in. We ate in the restaurant everyday. There's a wide selection including vegetarian and Sri Lankan, all reasonably priced. Only had one opportunity to try the cocktails but they were great.

Rustic getaway
The service was perhaps the best part of the stay. Especially Roshan who was very helpful despite us arriving during load shedding with no WiFi available either. A relaxed breakfast timing was what my day -- didn't have to get up early on vacation time and rush by 9 am like in other hotels.

Dear Maheen Thank-you for your response. Yes, it has been a tough year, post Covid, in Sri Lanka: add on the Easter bombings and many of us had around 3 years with minimal business until November. Then add Sri Lanka's foreign currency crisis which has caused a shoerage of spare parts. But we have battled through successfully, we have a great staff and we have exciting pans for our colonial beach hotel - onwards and upwards. Thanks for us and glad you enjoyed your stay

Suite Lanka is an amazing cozy little hotel. The staff and management were so friendly and accommodating. Always caring for your needs and ensuring you have a pleasant stay. The hotel was the best place on the stretch of the beach, for it’s style and atmosphere. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Galle and staying at Hikkaduwa. Thank you David and the team for being amazing hosts.

Suite Lanka is a small and very relaxing place to stay. We cannot emphasize enough how welcoming and friendly all the staff were and how perfect the environment is for relaxing. Although a relatively small hotel it is perfect for what we were looking for which was just to be pampered and relax

Stunning boutique
Had a enjoyable 3 night stay at this boutique hotel. In a beautiful location, right on a stunning beach. Staff were pleasant, service was good although on the occasion a little slow. If you’re looking to relax and soak in beautiful views this is a great place to stay. The food was very good as well

Séjour agréable à Hikkaduwa
Hôtel de bord de mer très agréable, calme avec chaises longues sur la plage. Personnel à l’écoute. Petit déjeuner complet. Bien placé sur la plage (à distance de la partie bruyante). Bémol : décoration vieillotte, isolation phonique datée. Plus de personnel sur place (sauf veilleur de nuit) à partir de 21 heures. Le classement « 4 étoiles » est hors de propos.

Thank-you for your review. I suppose one person's "dated" is another person's "historic". We are very clear about the sort of hotel we are - and that is why the vast majority of people like us. (The chairs in your room, incientally, came in December from one of Colombo's trendiest stores). Bathrtoom refurbishments are planned for May / June. The 4-star rating is official by the way, but yes, we agree the rating system, is old fashioned and largely pointless.

Absolut et godt hotel
Dette hotel er ganske enkelt fantastisk. Vi boede på et af de store værelser med terrasse ud mod havet. Personalet er meget søde og venlige. Maden er delikat og lækker. Beliggenheden er også rigtig fin, da det ligger lidt udenfor det hektiske turistområde. Kæmpe anbefaling herfra.

目の前が海で、ビーチもすぐなのが良かった。 部屋も広々としていたので、ゆっくりと寛げた。 レストランも海の前で大変眺めが良かった。 朝食も夕食も大変美味しかった。 ホテルのスタッフの人達は、皆フレンドリーで、何かがあると、すぐに一生懸命に対処してくれた。 アットホームな感じがして、ホテルというよりゲストハウスのような感じがして、大変寛げた。 周りも静かで、ゆっくりとリラックスして過ごす事が出来た。 又、是非泊まりたいと思う。

Lite hotell med Flott beliggenhet på stranden. Kjempe god service! Det eneste negative var at det var til tilder veldig høye bølger i sjøen, men hotellet har basseng. Drar gjerne tilbake til dette hotellet.

Response from Roland on 27 Feb 2019
Hallo Hanno, vielen Dank für Ihr feed back. Wenn Sie mit der Vielfalt der Speisen nicht zufrieden sind, dann können Sie gerne mit dem Chef sprechen und Ihre persönlichen Wünsche äußern. Ich wundere mich nur darüber, dass Sie unser Speisenangebot als "nicht vielfältig" betrachten. Zusätzlich zu unserer eigentlich sehr umfangreichen Karte haben wir für die Monate Februar und März noch einen deutschen Chef engagiert, der auch noch diverse deutsche und österreichische Gerichte anbietet. Es tut mir leid, dass die sich in der Nähe befindlichen Ausflugsziele, nicht Ihrem Geschmack entsprechen. Unbestritten ist Sri Lanka jedoch eines der vielfältigsten Länder unseres Planeten. Bitte lassen Sie mich wissen, inwieweit ich Ihnen weiterhin behilflich sein kann. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Roland

Flott botique-hotell med svært hyggelige ansatte
Dette var et fantastisk sted og tilbringe ferien på. Flott område på stranda, med svært hyggelig service og veldig god mat. Bassenget i atriet var kanskje mer til pynt enn til bruk, men stranda var veldig flott. Litt mye bølger gjorde det vanskelig å bade, men dette var muligens væravhengig og kan være annerledes andre ganger.
