Puttalam Hotels with Breakfast

The property is quite new, clean and very comfortable. The host is very friendly and arranged his driver to pick me from the airport at a nominal cost. He even helped me with my train ticket booking online and dropped at the train station as well. My experience in Gautam Homestay was quite nice. I would rate their service as a 5 star service.

New facilities, excellent location, great service attitude from staff

We'd like to share our impressions of our stay at this hotel. We spent 8 nights here with friends. The hotel is truly spacious, with well-maintained green grounds and a convenient location (across the road from the beach, surrounded by a river). We liked the all-inclusive meal plan: there was always a good selection of both Sri Lankan and European cuisine. The rooms are spacious, with a balcony and a bathroom. In our opinion, they could use some cosmetic updating. Unfortunately, two issues seriously marred our stay. 1. The situation with animals on the premises. There are cats and dogs on the hotel grounds. We were very sad to see that, in our opinion, some staff members' treatment of them is not humane. We personally witnessed them being chased away, and in some cases, doused with hot water and physically assaulted. This was very upsetting. 2. Insect control. During our stay, during the day, when many guests (including families with children) were around the pool and dining area, hotel staff began chemically treating the area. A thick, pungent odor spread, covering the pool, lounge, and dining areas. The fact that this treatment was carried out without warning and in the presence of people (especially children in the pool) was extremely surprising and concerning. My husband has asthma, and he had to urgently use his inhaler. As someone with an agricultural background, I understand the necessity of such treatments, but we believe that conducting them during peak guest activity hours is unsafe. We contacted the management to request information about the medication used for our doctor, but we were never provided with this information. Overall, the hotel infrastructure leaves a pleasant impression, but the reported incidents regarding animal welfare and guest safety significantly impacted our overall experience.

A good hotel on the seaside. There was a problem with lack of hot water, but in such a heat it is tolerable. Staff is kind . Breakfasts are uniform but quite edible. Overall not a bad hotel for a few days of relaxation on the ocean shore.

In fact, this hotel is very comfortable, it is the most comfortable hotel I have visited in Sri Lanka, the environment is also very good. However, this hotel is a seaside, private beach... It is not particularly convenient to go in and go out. If there is no chartered car, the hotel will call the car. Everything else is super good!

Superb hotel very good service

Super nice stay at the hotel. Manager and staff are super kind and helpful. Excellent cabanas almost in the beach.
