September 2017

We enjoyed our stay at the travellers nest. When we first arrived we thought it seemed a little quiet but on the second night there was a few guests staying. The hotel staff were very friendly and extremely helpful arranging tuk tuks and taxis to take us around. The room was also pleasant and clean with a surprinsgly good shower. In addition, there was a nice balcony to chill out on in the evenings with a beer ordered from the bar.

Nice stay, with excellent Sri Lankan food

The hotel looks good, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We got upgraded to the suite. We had a dinner included in our stay, but this was set menu (by one of the guests having dinner). The first day we had Sri Lankan food, which was excellent. The second day we got a cold dinner. The breakfast was great. In our stay, there was some problems with the bathroom, since there were both cockroaches and ants there. But all in all a nice stay, and a very friendly staff.
