    I wish I could give this place more stars to be honest. The hotel itself is quite nice with a great common area. However, linens were the worst we've seen yet, just very thin, stained and with huge holes! Rooms were big and clean and with ac, but it wasn't working when we checked in. Don't be scared to call this out as they needed to both did the fuse switch from main switch and replace batteries in the remote. The fan was just not enough to keep us Canadians cool so ac was a must for us. Breakfast was good and well priced. Staff speak limited english but with a bit of humour and patience could get by and they did help us with restaurants and a taxi. Location is close to the beach and restaurants which was good.

    This is a simple hotel with good sized rooms, fans and AC and in our room, a shower, toilet and basin and a small balcony. For the price paid it was good value. Tea for two in the morning was lkr 140. Mt Lavinia is close by with beaches and restaurants.

    (Translated by Google) It's a rustic hotel, but it also has a balcony and you can taste the resort feeling personally. (Original) 素朴な宿だがバルコニーも付いてリゾート気分も味わえる個人的にはお気に入りです。

    The staff is very kind. But the cleanliness of the hotel needs to be rethought. The air conditioner in the room I was in was not working properly. The wifi facility is also not working properly. Located very close to the beach. It's a bit difficult to sleep on the mattress here. But the room is very big as well as very nice. You get a slightly higher service for the amount you pay. But there are many things that need to be done to satisfy the customer.

    Delighted facilities worth for money and friendly staff

    Good place to stay. Few mosquitoes can trouble your sleep. Water bottle is 3x expensive. Very close to the beach and the staffs are friendly.

  • 3/5 Daniel “Lebs” L. 8 years ago on Google • 185 reviews
    The rooms are OK, large and with AC and en suite bathroom. Arrived at the airport late and during a holiday and the airport transfer service was expensive at $42 USD (45min ride though). The hotel was also very expensive due to inflated prices because of their new year. Inflated price was definitely not worth the stay. Top floor shower had little water pressure.

    Realy realy nice liked it all. The workers were nice and fun. Really nice and clean rooms. Nice garden, nice everything only problem encountered is the mosquitos in the lobby. They are really annoying when you eat. But really good place if you sum it all.

  • 2/5 Veddel J. 7 years ago on Google
    The house and some of the staff are actually nice, BUT! The rooms, especially the bed, sheets, pillows, towels and bathroom are very dirty!!! If it would not have been so late we would have left right after arrival.

    (Translated by Google) Oh the soooo clean Ivory Inn! I would hardly have mentioned it, but since people speak so high of the cleanliness in this house, I will also share my experiences. Nothing was clean here, thin, torn bed sheets, no blanket, not even a sheet to cover, hair and stains on the shelf in the bathroom and on the sheets, dust everywhere, no end of mosquitoes, no mosquito repellent. Only on request did I get a mosquito net and a plug for the socket (when I asked why these things weren't in the room before I moved in, they told me they were too expensive), which made the 2nd night more bearable. No water in the room, a towel and toilet paper you had to beg for. On the last day, even a fat cockatoo raced back and forth in the room. At booking.com they said you paid on site, but my credit card was still charged. And with more than stated when booking, namely instead of $ 40.78, € 44.52 was debited! Instead of € 37.90! In addition, it is stated that there is a communal kitchen. I still had groceries so made sure of that when booking. I also had to laboriously ask for them. The best thing, however, is that you should pay this 500 rupia! This is nowhere to be found and I find it impossible, for 500 rupia I can get a finished dinner in Sri Lanka! In front of the hotel is a large piece of sheet metal that is supposed to cover a recess. Every time a car drives over it can be heard very loudly. The rooms are also very noisy. Next to me was a gentleman who was there during the day. Telephoned for 20 hours, in the room, in the bathroom, on the balcony ... that also bothered me a lot. Beach is nearby, but the way there was a bit of an effort. In my opinion, the city is neither beautiful nor safe, the only advantage of staying there is its proximity to the airport. (Original) Ach das ja soooo saubere Ivory Inn! Ich hätte es kaum erwähnt, aber da man hier in so hohen Tönen von der Sauberkeit in diesem Haus spricht, werde ich auch meine Erfahrungen teilen. Sauber war hier gar nichts, dünne zerrissene Bettwäsche, keine Decke, nicht einmal ein Bettlaken zum zudecken, Haare und Flecken auf der Ablage im Bad sowie auf dem Bettlaken, überall Staub, Mücken ohne Ende, kein Mückenschutz. Erst auf Anfrage erhielt ich ein Mückennetz und einen Stecker für die Steckdose ( als ich fragte warum diese Dinge nicht schon vor meinem Einzug im Zimmer sind, sagte man mir, zu teuer), was die 2te Nacht erträglicher machte. Kein Wasser auf dem Zimmer, Handtuch und Clopapier musste man auch erbeteln. Am letzten Tag raste sogar eine fette Kakalake im Zimmer hin und her. Bei booking.com hieß es man bezahlt direkt vor Ort, trotzdem wurde meine Kreditkarte belastet. Und zwar mit mehr als bei der Buchung angegeben, nämlich anstatt 40,78 $ wurden 44,52€ abgebucht!! Anstatt 37,90€! Dazu kommt, das angegeben ist, das es eine Gemeinschaftsküche gibt. Ich hatte noch Lebensmittel, deshalb habe ich bei der Buchung darauf geachtet. Die musste ich ebenfalls mühsam erfragen. Das Beste jedoch ist, das man diese bezahlen soll und zwar 500 rupia! Das steht so nirgendwo und finde ich es unmöglich, für 500 rupia bekomme ich in Sri Lanka schon ein fertiges Abendessen! Vor dem Hotel liegt ein großes Stück Blech, das eine Vertiefung abdecken soll. Jedes mal wenn ein Auto drüber fährt, ist das sehr laut zu hören. Auch die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig. Neben mir war ein Herr, der am Tag da. 20 Stunden telefonierte, im Zimmer, im Bad, auf dem Balkon ... auch das hat mich ziemlich gestört. Strand ist in der Nähe, aber der Weg dorthin kostete mich etwas Überwindung. Die Stadt ist in meinen Augen nicht schön und auch nicht sicher, nur einen Vorteil hat der Aufenthalt dort, die Nähe zum Flughafen.
