Guest Reviews
- ulricag2025 (2/5): Sending a warning! - Sending out a little warning! Check the room before you decide. The beds are horrible, the cheets are not fresh, the WiFi didn’t work , the AC didn’t work had to turn it off. We paid quite a lot for a small room-$120 and it should have cost the half or less.
- Joseph (3/5): Don’t waste your time - Beach front hotel and it was clean We weren’t told about the multiple events happening in the hotel. A large wedding in the atrium/lobby area that we had to walk through. A birthday party with a DJ 5 meters from our room on till 23:00 and we had a 16month old who needed to sleep. We were promised someone would contact us about a refund for this but this never happened. When locked, the door to our balcony could simply slide off the lock so was not secure. Any time we had a question we had to ask at least 4 staff members before we go an answer. When we arrived 4 bus boys/hotel staff took about 10 mins to put robes on hangers and a towel for the shower down and awkwardly wait for tips. Breakfast was rubbish, the 2 staff at the egg station weren’t able to cook any type of eggs correctly. Way to overpriced for what you get. Stay up the road at Citrus instead, it was way better value and actually nice.
- CKY990 (10/5): Excellent - Excellent service and food! The staff were incredibly attentive and polite, always going out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. The meals were well-prepared, flavorful, and a highlight of our stay. From check-in to check-out, we felt well taken care of, and the quality of service truly stood out. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great dining experience paired with outstanding hospitality. Definitely worth a visit!
- leopP9969DM (10/5): Worth the stay 10/10 - I want to start off by saying thank you too all the staff at the hotel. They were AMAZING. Really kind and helpful special shoutout to Vass for making it even more memorable. The pool was beautiful. As well as our room which was 2 double beds. Again Amazing.
- Quest22899801522 (10/5): Very good - We stayed for a week in the hotel in a room of 3 (One double and a single). All food was well made and tasted good, pool was always at a good temperature. The view out to the sea is extremely nice and all staff were welcoming and made our stay enjoyable.
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- 607garikf (10/5): Amazing - We are tourists from Ukraine and we love your country and especially fell in love with your hotel, which is located right next to the ocean. Very beautiful. 🤘 let's get back to you😎 the hotel has rooms with a view of the pool and the ocean. The food is delicious. the staff is friendly and caring.
- Muztangz (2/5): NOT THE PLACE TO STAY - Beach and the Poolside are the only pluses for me. Staff is not bad, but cant say friendly Bathroom are congested, showers are not working properly, Doors and sliders are beaten up, locks are corroded. No Tv No intercoms to contact the reception Empty minibar
- samanthahF5063VX (2/5): Think twice before staying here - On the outset, this hotel looks ok - but I now see they use pre-tsunami photos which are absolutely not a true representation of the bedrooms. The outside pool area is ok, although the furniture is a little tired. When we arrived in late December, we were mortified by our initial room, which was more like a dungeon as it was so dark, and faced a miserable concrete wall outside. The room was damp, mouldy, the furniture old and dilapidated. We complained and the next day they gave us their best room overlooking the beach, with a balcony. This room was somewhat better in comparison, but did not live up to our expectations at all. The room was still old and dilapidated. If it wasn't for the beach and pool view we would have left and gone elsewhere!
- 294ingridab (4/5): Terrible place with great view. - The hotel pluses: Perfect place, a lot of tourist and a lot of beach bars, somedays live music. Amazing view from room. Pool view straight to the beach. Amazing sunsets. Hotel minuses: Staf are not very friendly. They do not let people bring their own drinks or food (in other hotels this will be allowed, no problem) in this hotel alot of problems. The hotel is untidy and dirty. Beach towels are collected after the day, not washed but dried, and given to customers the next morning. Rooms are cleaning but In the roomsthe are damp at night. First night we was sleeping with mouses. A lot of mouses in the rooms. They have a lot of room with wall view(windows straight to the antohrer building wall, no light from windows) In general, I understand that Asia has different standards and procedures, but the hygiene here is very deplorable. Bad breskfast. Bad service. 9;40 am the pool are still cleaning- this is not normal because everybodies wake up at 7am go breakfast and then you want to jump to the pool but… the staf are wery wery slownly. If you ask the towel- they bring it to you from 10-15 minutes. The pool are ready to swim about 10am. The biggest hotelt minuses- bad rooms and weddings party. 2 weddings per day. Everyday local veddings or some b-days: When weddings in outside- nobodies swimming in the pool because the front of the pool are ceremony, photographers. Before booking this hotel i was asked about wedding, and they told me that weddings are different area and do not disturbing any guests. But it is not true. The weddings a little bit disturbing. The best thing in this kitel is great view and location. Nothing more.
- Samantha (2/5): Terrible Hotel - Location, aircon, food, some staff Too much to mention
- A9939EWjuttas (2/5): Horrible and dirty - The most terrible hotel ever. Very dirty rooms, sheets and towels were dirty, toilet wasn’t clean. No sleep for three nights because bed was terrible, felt pows on my back. Tecnomusic was so loud all the time, from morning till night. Payment was forehand, and now we know why… Don’t ever go here of you want to enjoy your holiday.
- Sightseer54155880902 (2/5): Basic hotel but great location - While to reception area, pool and beach location were great the rooms were terrible. You could feel the springs through the bed, there was sand on the floor from previous occupants, plastic shower curtains meant the entire bathroom floor was under water and my doona had an old dried blood stain on it. In the plus side the curries were good and the staff were warm and friendly. It’s overpriced for what you get. While it’s rated 3 stars I’d struggle to give it 2 stars. Also the DJ played loud disco music from late morning until about 11pm so don’t expect a quiet time to nap. However they did turn the music off (at 9.30pm) when I complained about it as we were tired and wanted to go to sleep.
- Thanakrit (4/5): Disappointing - Very old hotel
- Haleem7906424 (7/5): Standard of room rent of this place is not more than 30$ per night not 70$ - Pool was good. Beach was just outside. The garden area was good The rooms were too old. The room door locks are push button knobs. There was no way to call reception from the room. The toilet needs to be renovated. Most of the electrical sockets are ROUND hole type. There was no refilling of coffee, tea & water bottles.
- Y4456XH_ (2/5): Stay away from this place - It is the worst hotel I have ever seen. Dirty bedsheets, with lots of stains. I asked to change them, but new ones were also with stains. All environment in the room is either broken or dirty or not functioning properly. Curtains are dirty and torn in some places. Stay away from this place.
- katrinec2023 (2/5): Rude employees - Rude employees laughing in our faces when we came to the reception with a concern about some other guest shooting firework directly in our direction and towards bypassing dogs on the hotel grounds. The employees didn’t want to do anything about it, was laughing at us and signed to each other that we were crazy.
- Алина (10/5): The best hotel on Hikkaduwa beach - Best hotel on Hikkaduwa beach. Nice beach, beautiful area and good location. Very friendly staff and excellent service. Delicious food and varied menu.
- Akila (6/5): Pleasant -
- Arvid (6/5): Fair enough. - Ok place for families. Kind of boring. A little worn and used.... Food is ok, nothing more. Perfect location on the beach!
- Ben (6/5): Nice on first impression but lacks quality finish - Staff were friendly, room felt like it had seen better days, cupboards broken shower head rusty. Feel like rooms need a re-vamp. Breakfast felt like a perculiar system, not very clear what we were allowed to have and we weren’t told where to go get drinks etc. Pool area was nice and beach is lovely.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Gode værelser, skidt mad. - Værelserne var faktisk rigtig gode, sengen lidt hård - men sådan er det de fleste steder. Personalet er søde men slet ikke optimal, største delen forstod ikke engelsk. I resturanten skal du nogle gange vente for evigt, hvis du ikke selv siger at du vil have et menukort/bestille eller betale. Desuden fik min kæreste madforgiftning af deres burger - øv.
- Sofia (8/5): Bästa läget i Hikkaduwa! - Mycket bra läge vid finaste delen av stranden i Hikkaduwa. Nära till många bra restauranger på stranden. Pool väldigt fin och fräsch. Hotellet är gammalt men sängen fräsch. Personalen helt ok.
- Elisa (10/5): Uno dei migliori hotel di hikkaduwa - Hotel in posizione perfetta, sulla spiaggia. Free WiFi, cibo eccellente e colazione buona. Da migliorare le docce nelle camere e qualche ombrellone in più da mettere nel giardinetto dell’hotel.
- Patric (8/5): - Bra hotell om man åker för en resa med avkoppling. Rummen håller en bra standrad men är lite små om man bor en familj med 2 barn. Närheten till havet och poolområdet håller hög standard. Hotellet var populärt för företagsevent och det var ibland trångt i poolen.
- Martin Laue (6/5): Nice location but completely outdated - We have just stayed at the Avenra for 6 nights and we are leaving with mixed feelings. The good: - attentive staff - great location next to the beach - nice pool area - breakfast is ok The bad: - the rooms are small - not suited for more than 2 adults. If you bring kids - get two rooms, or find another hotel! - in general the hotel is a bit outdated - especially the rooms. A brush of paint will not be sufficient. - you are not alone the in the room. Ants and cockroaches are keeping you company. - don't have dinner at the hotel. Way over priced and not great quality. - poor wifi throughout the entire hotel. Make sure you ask for a 1st floor corner room facing the beach.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best hotel in Hikkaduwa by far - Great place to stay, pictures are actually what you get. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. No other hotel on the strip compares. Breakfast buffett is a fantastic spread. Had a great time.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Average stay in the hotel. The first room had a strong drain smell in the bathroom but the second room we moved to was clean. The food menu lacked variety and service was slow. Both mornings we stayed there we were woken early by the sounds of drumming from weddings. Pool was extremely nice but sunbeds and cabanas were allowed to be reserved for hours even though nobody was there. Overall, ok but would not stay again.
- Maor (8/5): Good - Good
- Rob (4/5): Very disappointed & I can still smell the bathroom - The room was a nice location, and that was all. The bathroom smelled the entire 17 days of our stay(16 days we left a day early we could not take it anymore). We notified the staff several times and then directly to the manager. There is a drain system that is open in the bathrooms covered by a metal screen. It smells like a dirty urinal that has not been cleaned for weeks. After days of complaints they covered it with a bleach soaked towel. So it smelled like a bleachy smelly urinal from that point on. The bathroom is designed to look modern with a shower with no walls or doors but your bathroom is wet after a shower. We had to use one towel to share and one to put on the floor to wipe up all the water. It takes a long time to get anything you ask for which is frustrating when you have plans to do things. It eats up your day waiting around for beach towels or 1 hour for food at the restaurant. It is way over priced for the service and value you receive. I would suggest staying somewhere else.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great Christmas dinner. Thanks reception admins for their assistance.
- Verified traveler (8/5): ヒッカドゥワで２番目に大きいプール - 子連れでのサーフトリップです。 こどもがいるのでプールが大きいホテルということで選びました。1番大きいプールがあるホテルはサーフポイントから離れているかなという理由で除外。 スタッフはフロント以外は総じて良い。 朝食は毎朝同じメニュー、品数少なめ。 部屋は経年劣化しているが掃除が丁寧にされたので及第点。
