GG Lodge Mirissa — Hotel in Sri Lanka

Gosh, I don’t know where to start. There are 2 rooms here that are exposed to the road noise, and if you’re on the end of the building nearer Why Not hostel, be prepared for very loud screaming and party music until the early morning. In addition, there was a power trip at 1.30am, we tried knocking on the owner’s room door, it was left unlocked and we tried calling, talking, he ignored us all the way. In the morning around 7.30am, he finally appeared. So that is 6 hours trying to sleep with no light, no fan, no ac or any kind of ventilation. In sri lankan weather, you can imagine! And actually he didn’t believe us because some things like the fan and ac in the reception area were still working. Only when he opened 2 rooms to check did he realise we were serious. But what nailed it in the coffin was that there were no apologies and he even appeared to be very unhappy, grudgingly called someone to fix it. The electricity still tripping a few times until 10am. We asked if we could switch into an empty room further from the road and hostel, and even though there was no one inside it he said no, or he asked to charge 10 usd more for the exact same room type we had gotten on booking. All in all, horrible service attitude, and he didn’t bother helping us with our bags when we said we would leave. There’s definitely some circuitry problem here so stay at your own risk, attaching proof here so you don’t...

We have stayed 1 night there. The location is convenient and just located at the head of the main road in Mirissa, and it is around 8 mins walk to the harbour for whale watching, few minutes walk to the restaurants, shops and supermarket nearby, and around 15 mins walk to the beach.||||The host is very friendly and helpful, and helped us to take the luggages to the room at second floor once we dropped off. Our deluxe family room is spacious, quiet and super clean without any insects, the air-con worked well, just the window is a bit small and not much sunlight can come in. TV and wardrobe are available.||||The beds are big, comfortable and clean, spotless! ||||The toilet is spacious, fixed shower head and hand shower are both available. Hot water is enough. Water pressure is a bit weak, but acceptable compared to other guesthouses. Dry and clean white-colored towels are provided. ||||Bottle water is provided, and the kettle is clean too. Hair dryer can be borrowed.||||We haven't tried their breakfast as we woke up very early to whale watching. But for the cleanness of the room, will definitely...

GG Lodge was our last hotel on the tour through Sri Lanka but was the best one out of all we've visited. ||I can definitely say that this hotel should cost way more than is priced on the booking.com.||For the relatively cheap price you will get:||- unbelievable cleanness from the room to 3 packs of towels;||- comfortable beds;||- A/C which is super needed in this hot country;||- delicious breakfasts. I don't know how I will manage without them. ||But the biggest asset of this place was its owner. Kelum is extremely helpful and friendly host. He has recommended us good places to eat, surf and party in Mirissa. It was super hard to leave home after such a wonderful stay. ||I will be recommending this place to my friends and will for sure come back again...
