It doesn't happen often, thankfully, but this hotel just didnt seem like how it waa sold on Expedia and it wasn't up.to scratch. It is supposed to be a 4.5* and it juat isn't. Im really not fussy, but I just got the impression that the bed hadnt been changed (marks on the sheets) and the floor also had marks- a very clear footprint and a coffee cup ring mark. The manager tried to assure me it had all been cleaned but i Wasn't convinced, but without fuss to be fair, they changed the bedding and cleaned the room and I felt better about my stay. The room had seen better days - buttons missing off the chair upholstery for instance, tatty blinds and a jacouzi bath which didnt work. I had a go at filling it and switching it on but 1..the water was cold as it just filled with a tiny trickle and then 2. the bath basically leaked from a pipe in the bottom, out across the bathroom floor for some reason, which I couldn't stop! It is West facing and being July, it was very windy. There was a ripped canvas orning outaide my window which flapped noisily all night and woke me up a few times. The location is also a bit out of the way. It's not really possible to walk to Unawatuna Beach and Jungle Beach nearby doesn't have a lt going on or the most attractive view. You need to get a Tuk Tuk or taxi,.aboht 15mins to Galle and 10mins around to Unawatuan. POSITIVES: Nice pool, decent breakfast, lovely staff - especially the young guys who work hard.
