Anveela

Rooms are spacious and the host was accommodative

Rooms don't have TVs and internet connection was crappy. One of the 2 bedrooms in the apartment do not have ac. There are no proper blankets provided - the excuse from the owner was hot & humid weather. The food provided was modest, however, the charges (10 USD per person) was exorbitant. No prior information on the applicable charges for using the laundry facilities. Only 3 staff (including the owner) catering to the requirements of the inhabitants, and lack of lift/elevator made life difficult.

The super friendly host took the time to welcome us, give us tips for dinner, arranged a tuktuk and told us about the culture and way of Sri Lankan living. The apartment was spacious, very clean and near the beach. The pool and garden were very well maintained.

Great stay at Anveela. The staff were very friendly and helpful with all our needs including helping with recommendations, tuk tuks and overall information. The breakfast was great and very filling which resulted in not needing to eat lunch on a few of the days. If you enjoy Sri Lankan food then you'll love the breakfast. There is of course bread, spreads and omelette if wanted. Rooms were spacious and we had an air-conditioned room which was nice when it was hot although the rooms stayed relatively cool. The pool is very nice for a swim at any time of the day. The whole property is extremely clean which including pool area and breakfast which was free from sand and dirt. I do recommend and thanks to the staff for a great stay.

Feels brand new, very spacious. Probably the cleanest apartment in Sri Lanka - mean it! Equipped with all furniture, fridge / freezer combination etc. you need - not more and not less :) subjectively, some decorative elements would make the room more cozy. Bathroom with hot water boiler and decent water pressure. Rare and welcome exception in Sri Lanka. Owner (Nilan) and his caretaker were both very friendly and helpful. A noisy fan in one bedroom was fixed within a day. Very clean pool!

Breakfast was unfortunately below Sri Lanka standard. Very low variety and every day a little less food, on the last morning only continental breakfast (we stayed 4 nights). The nearby beach is not the nicest one, but that’s of course not Nilan’s fault :) The pool area definitely needs more shadow / sun shades (there is only one).

We had booked this hotel as our last night relax before we flew home. Unfortunately, we got a text the day of check in saying that due to unforseen circumstances, the people in our room wouldnt be able to vacate. To start with we were very disappointed, although the situation was explained and we understood. But they were brilliant (although they had alot going on) and sorted us another hotel, just down the road which was absolutely amazing, it was all very easy and sorted by them. The owner also contacted us after check in to makr sure we were happy. If we ever come back to sri lanka, we would definately try this hotel!!!

Strong Wifi and ceiling fan with mosquito net was great. Place is very clean as well!

Nothing to complain about.

I would give Anveela 20 or 30 out of 10 for cleanliness alone. Everything and everywhere you look it was spotless, not a spec of dust. Hard to believe the property is 7 years old. Family rooms and the double were very spacious. We had 3 rooms/apartments. All very spacious. Property is a short walk to the beach. The pool was clean and warm even during the evening, not sure if it was heated. Nilan had arranged a tuk-tuk for going towards the city/stores. Return trip costed 600LKR including waiting at Cargill. On New year's eve we saw fireworks from the balcony, which was a bonus.

The nearby restaurants prefer to cater to only their in house guests.

The property was very clean and well located with nice spacious rooms. You are in good hands when you stay here.
