We don't usually stay in the hotel type of places but by the time we passed in front of it and since we have checked a couple of places before (one overpriced, the other smaller place had no one around to answer), we gave it a try and got an airy double fan room with balcony and sea view in...

The fan could not spin when the mosquito net was up. The bed was built for a midget so everything from my calves down hung off and hit the mosquito net. The pillows must have been rocks in another lifetime. The mattress had prickly things sticking up from it. The smell from the kitchen (which doesn't have great reviews) stunk... More

Gayana was about the 6th place we checked out in Tangalle before agreeing to check in. The price at 2,500 rupees was reasonable, and the rooms were spacious, bright and airy - with a good-sized balcony overlooking the beach. All rooms have large comfortable four-poster beds with nets in place. The young lads that actually run the place are friendly... More

Our driver from a tour dropped us here and asked if it was ok. It seemed good value at 5000 rupees a night B&B, a/c for 'double' room. Double rooms in Sri Lanka seem to be 2 singles pushed together. Our balcony was a decent size overlooking the beach. There were some ants in our room but they didn't give... More

After trying two hotels in Tangalle which were full our driver took us to this one.We were shown a room which had old decor but faced the sea.Being fed up with travelling we reluctantly decided to stay as...

Cost – Rs2000 per night no air con (Rs3500 quoted for air con) Location – When we first arrived in Tangalle we got a tuk tuk up to the west area of town(Goyambokka) as the Rough Guide suggested there were some nice accommodation options up there.

Rooms were clean and the location were nice, right on a beautiful beach. Good value, on the downside it was impossible to locate the staff except for a few young boys who helped as best they could. The reception and restaurant was deserted day and night.
