Nice hotel in the heart of Hikkaduwa. Good buffet breakfast. Plenty of restaurants near by if you want a change from hotel food. Like most hotels in this area it is right on the very busy main road. Traffic at night is very noisy, worth paying for a sea view room if you can.

Annars var det bra...

Det var endast en lättdörr mellan oss och grannen (en stor barnfamilj) så resultatet blev ett extremt lyhört rum. Vidare var fönstret mot vägen så trafik hördes dygnet runt. Ljudisolering är bara att glömma. Ljudmässigt kändes det som om man sov under bar himmel med en stor barnfamilj strax intill.

Direct on the ocean

My room was on the beach side so my view was directly onto the incoming waves. The room was very basic but functional with twin beds next to each other. The bathroom had on opening onto the hallway for venting so any noise in the hallway came into the room. I would recommend a seasde room as the hotel is directly on the street and there is alot of traffic. Breakfast buffet was very good with choice of sri lankan or western food, which I appreciated. I had a free foot massage for free in the spa which was very good. I then booked a full massage and was informed that the price was appr. 30% more than on the pricelist due to taxes and service. Still not expensive but surprised me. Massage was also very good. The spa itself was just some walls in an open space on the 3rd floor. Simple but was open to the ocean so had the sound of the waves and an ocean breeze.

Comfortable and afforable

Was a very pleasant stay here. beds are pillows are super soft, just the type you need after partying all night! very very friendly and helpful hotel staff! linens could use a proper cleaning. I kept getting stained towels every day. I suggest bringing your own towel if you can. Other than that, I would highly recommend this place to any traveler who doesn't want a cheap guest house or a super expensive hotel.

Good location, not a good hotel

Bansei is located on the main road, near to good restaurants and the coral reef. Location is definitely its best aspect together with the pool. We stayed there for over a week and our sheets weren't changed at all during the stay. Cleaning was done very left-handedly and the floor under our bed looked like it had never been vacuumed. The bathroom was small, hot, humid, dirty and full of bugs. A proper cleanup would have done wonders. Our room was facing the main road and with only glass doors as walls, we needed earplugs to sleep. As others have commented, the staff wasn't very helpful. There were lots of staff members during the day, but everything happened slowly and their focus seemed to be elsewhere. Breakfast wasn't included in the price. If bought separately, was expensive compared to nearby restaurants. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying at Bansei, at least not for longer than a few days. There are better and cheaper options elsewhere in Hikkaduwa.

Gut konzepiertes Hotel mit Verbesserungspotential!

Positives: -Strandnähe -Liegen mit Handtuch verfügbar -Großes Zimmer -Nette Angestellte Negatives: -Der Boden im Zimmer war nie sauber, obwohl wir darauf hingewiesen haben. Nach einem Gang durch das Zimmer waren die Füße immer schwarz. -Sehr hohe Luftfeuchte im Bad, da es durch ein Gitter mit dem Gang verbunden ist, jedoch über keinen Ventilator verfügt -Manche der Angestellten sprechen kaum Englisch -Das Zimmer könnte liebevoller eingerichtet sein, da es ziemlich leer und kalt wirkt so ganz ohne Bilder, Spiegel und mit dem kalten grauen Boden Fazit:
