Curry Bowl is a beautiful old house with a stunning view from the beautiful garden. It's located on the beach, a few steps from where you can feed the turtles with seaweed. The quality of the rooms vary but they all have enclosed bathrooms and fans, most of them also have AC. The three wonderful guys who works there do everything in their power to make your stay the best! I miss my three friends already even though I left the place yesterday. I can highly recommend Curry Bowl and I will definitely go back there.

Stayed here with my partner last night and we wished we stayed longer, especially with the inexpensive price. The view was glorious as well as the hotel facilities - although the restuarant wasn't open for dinner only breakfast (but there are a tonne of surrounding restaurants). The service was smooth and helpful - they even offered freshly cut coconut and pineapple for sale. The shower had hot water which is not something I can say about the last 5 hotels we've stayed at. The mattress was a little thin for me personally as well as the curtains to block out the constant light. The mosquito net was a welcomed relief and allowed us to look out at our wonderful balcony sea view.

Fantastic place with an excellent seaside location near Hikkaduwa Beach. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. If you need anything from the kitchen, the staff will gladly assist you. While the amenities may not be exceptional, they are more than justified by the outstanding location and the exceptional service of the staff. If you're fortunate, you might even spot turtles feeding on sea grass.

One of best and calm locations you can stay at Hikkaduwa. The Hotel is directly next to the shore and the Colombo-Galle main road. As a max benefit, you can visit sea turtle watching, by walk like just one minute. There is world famous hikkaduwa coral reef front of the sea side. There are numerous sea species you can experience. Hotel rooms and bathrooms are very clean. Service is good handled by friendly staff.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location near the beach was absolutely fantastic, making it a perfect choice for anyone who loves the ocean. The rooms were clean, providing a pleasant place to relax. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, which added to the overall positive experience. Considering the affordable price, this hotel is definitely a bargain. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great beachside getaway.
