Giragala Village

Hotel

Do not be misled. The photos showcasing this hotel were obviously taken when the hotel first opened. The hotel at best is shabby. It's poorly maintained and quite frankly grimy. From the stained bed sheets (I will be fair — the sheets smelled like they were freshly laundered) to the stained mosquito net that had clearly seen better days. Included in the price is breakfast — but as hygiene is clearly not a priority here at the Giragala Village hotel, I would advise that you are selective in what you choose… If you are lucky to have an iron stomach — then eat up! Having walked along the beach, there are other better places to stay, so do your research! It's clearly all about location for this hotel. It's literally a stones throw away from the public beach and that's why I've given it one star.

We spent two nights here. The whole hotel has come in the years. You can see that on every corner. An overall renovation is urgently needed! The room with sea view had air conditioning, however it was humid and a bit damp all the time.
The view over the sea only compensated due to the lack of hot water in the shower.
The breakfast is very simple. The freshly cut fruit is delicious!
There is no room service (there is no one to clean during the day) and also no drinking water bottle, as usual in Sri Lanka.
But one is right on the beach, has a beautiful sunbathing lawn under palm trees and cooled drinks of all kinds from the beach bar.
We did not test the menu — here I recommend the Zephyr on the beach, which is only a 3-minute walk away!

Very good hotel, came two times, for the first time to snorkel, the second time with parents to vacation. Environment is very good, rooms are good. The breakfast was very good. Like the courtyard, near the seaside, but very quiet, a bit like the feeling of a private beach. The grass in the yard was beautiful, and the sound of the waves and the rustling of the coconut trees was very enjoyable under the high golden coconut trees. The owners are very nice and helpful. Their home is not found on the booking, the boss said the fee is very expensive, so that can help customers save a little money. I live in the time of a person about 250 yuan, with parents to three people about 300 yuan (can live four people), with such a beautiful environment than, here the price is really high ah. Will definitely come again.

Excellent stay a few steps from the beach.

The room was very small. Nice view from the small peninsula in the morning, the price is around 3500 rupees.
