NR Villa Nilaveli

The host and his family are very kind and helpful. The host Rafeet helped us to arrange a snorkelling tour to Pigeon Island. He also owns a restaurant that was very good and affordable. The room was large with an outlet by the bed. Location is great. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and a store.

The room was very hot and the ceiling fan didn’t seem to help much in cooling it down. We would have to leave the door open in the evening to try and cool the room down before trying to sleep. The bathroom was also very hot with hot water only.

This is a simple homestay run by a very enthusiastic host. The room is basic but comfortable and has an en suite bathroom and a ceiling fan. It is a cheap place and great value for money. The location is great. It is close to the local beach and a short tuk tuk ride to the main restaurants on the beach. In the morning they made us breakfast - roti and dahl and coconut sambal for a little bit extra.

Very kind - helpful - a great place to stay !

We had a pleasent stay here for 3 nights. The room was clean and spacious and had everything you need and expect for the money. There is a loved garden where you can get delicious breakfast and hang out in the shadows of the trees. The owner Rafeed owns a restaurant too, which is right around the corner and serves great seafood! Speaking about Rafeed we have to say, that he was the most welcoming host we could imagine! Since I am a Tea-Lover we got chay every evening and could sit in the garden. Rafeed also helped us with some problem we were suffering from and treated us like family. He will also help you with arranging different tours and transports, if you like. Rafeed, We wish all the best for you and your family! Hopefully we can meet again at some time!

I was a little bit to tall for the beds ;)

I recently stayed at the Hostel NR Villa Nilaveli, and I can't recommend it highly enough. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the exceptional kindness and care of the hostel manager, Rafid. From the moment I arrived, Rafid made me feel at home, taking the time to show me around the city and ensuring I had everything I needed. His hospitality and warmth truly made me feel like part of the family. The hostel itself is impeccably clean, and every aspect of my stay was worth the price. The rooms are comfortable, and the communal areas are well-maintained, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all guests. If you're looking for a place to stay in Nilaveli, I highly recommend Hostel NR Villa Nilaveli. It's a perfect blend of great service, cleanliness, and genuine care. Thank you, Rafid, for making my stay so memorable!

Rafeet is a very nice host, the room is clean and ok with a good location
