    Beach front. A big, basic room with ocean views. So neat and tidy. Great value for money, walking distance to eating locations.

    One of our favourite places we stayed. Such a great room, with a wonderful view. Good location, and the aircon was lush

    The staff were welcoming on arrival. The room had the most basic facilities needed, including an electric power shower. The location is on the sea front, convenient for the beach.

    Maybe we were unlucky with the room (room 4), but I wouldn't recommend this place for couples. Or anyone who doesn't relish a nightly standoff with a cockroach. The room was infested with insects (a continuous column of ants, mainly, but also a few cockroaches and mosquitoes). The problem seemed to be that none of the windows closed (the catches were broken, presumably by previous guests trying to escape or ventilate, or rusted). The ceiling fan creaked, with air barely reaching the bed through the mosquito net, leaving the room over 30 degrees all night. There was only one plug socket, which sparked every time you put in a device, and it was - dangerously - not screwed into the wall. For the first time in 20 years of travelling we checked out a night early to move elsewhere in Tangalle. Staff didn't seem concerned or surprised, and we paid in full. For £10/$15 more we found a 4 star hotel down the road, which felt like arriving into paradise.

    Property response:

    All I can say is "welcome"to Sri Lanka. tbh. Many friends frim all over Euroope, have praised Sunchaser for all it has to offer. It is budget kind if place but it's location is its highlight. A small issue with a socket is everywhere but maybe you were too heavy handed with it . Ive seen this before but its hardly a deal breaker. So hope you have a good follow on experience and ty for your review. It is all about feedback

    Really a spot to enjoy Sri Lanka to the fullest. Owner and the crew are the best source of information for exploaring the area, small tips of where to find the best meals and sights. Ask them and you will not regret. As a family with a seven-year-old, this was the perfect spot. The host even found a local family to cook non spicy food for our kid and he loved it. It was hotless curry. Really great hosts. Highly recomended!

    The property was directly opposite the beach which made it so easy to go for a morning dip! We had a lovely view from the balcony and were very close to several cafes and restaurants.

    Location right qt beachfront. Warm water with pressure. Relax seat in front

    It was really old and the room has to be renovated. Sockets really dirty. Lock not really good. Mosquito net had holes, and there are lot of mosquitos. Towels really then and not nice smell. Very hot inside, has ventilator but no screens at window to get some fresh air. Although room is not expensive, in Sri Lanka you can find really nice room for same money. We payed room and went around corner to newly build beautiful location, even cheaper

    The atmosphere of this place is amazing. The view from the balcony in the room on the first floor was fantastic + the location of the hotel is in my opinion one of the best in this area, on one side 3 steps to the ocean and on the other 3-5 minutes to the all nearby beach bars and restaurants. I definitely recommend this place!

    Helpful staff, pool table, on the beach. Many many excellent cheap food places nearby

    Booking.com website said breakfast was included, but this was not true. The management was surprised at this: booking.com needs to correct this.

    GREAT location in Tangalle. Everything you need is close by. They can sort a scooter for you or anything else you need. At this price point I would recommend 😁🌴

    I spent 6 nights in this hotel and if I hadn't had other travel plans I would have definitely stayed there longer. The atmosphere of this place is amazing, you can feel at home and the owner becomes your buddy within minutes. The view from the balcony in the room on the first floor was fantastic, the room was large, clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel is in my opinion one of the best in this area, on one side 3 steps to the ocean and on the other 3-5 minutes to the all nearby beach bars and restaurants.

    The Hotel is located directly Infront of the Beach which is perfect. Also its just a short walk to the Center. They have a Pool game which you are free to use.

    The facilities seem to be a bit older. There were a lot of mosquitos in our room and bathroom. Also the net had a lot of holes. We bought tesa Stripes to fix it at least for our stay. The Floor is very dirty so you should keep your shoes on otherwise your feet are Black.

    The owner and staff are friendly and helpful. The location could not be any better, right on the beach. It was lovely to hear the sound of the waves in the evening. The room is big and the aircon works perfectly. Can higly recommend this, especially for a budget traveller this is the place to stay!
