The strong point of the property is Joseph. He's always present and available for every request, and he makes up for the shortcomings of the property itself. Unfortunately, Joseph alone isn't enough to keep the place running since there are 13 rooms to manage and he works non-stop from 5 AM to 11 PM!! He does everything in the property (coffee and tea for people, cleaning rooms, doing laundry for everyone, fixing problems, buying things missing in the room - like hairdryer)! Good position close to the beach.

The property is dilapidated. The rooms need to be renovated and possibly expanded. The bathroom had a leak from the toilet (Joseph worked to fix it), but the showers also need to be renovated (we had a bad experience during a shower with a shower pipe boken - always Joseph was ready so solve it). The owners of the property should invest money to improve the structure and hire another person to help Joseph. This is the only way to improve. A breakfast service should absolutely be added, also because the price paid, compared to prices in Nilaveli and Sri Lanka in general, is not average.

Our stay at the Coastal Hotel in Nilaveli was excellent. The room was spotless and well taken care of, and we appreciated that we could do laundry there. A special thank you goes to our host, Joseph, who was incredibly kind and always ready to help. He made us feel very welcome and even took care of us when one of us wasn’t feeling well. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Nilaveli.

Very friendly and caring Hotel staff!! Very kids friendly. Clean rooms, good shower. Since our Rooms was not booked the next day we were allowed to stay until the late afternoon. 3 minute walk to the beach.

No Moskito Nets, a Lot of Moskitos in the rooms.

I had originally booked another guesthouse in Uppuveli, however it had a lot of mould, so I didn’t stay and found The Coastal Hotel instead. It was rustic, but clean and perfect for my 5 night stay. It is a 2 min walk to a spectacular beach with a few beach restaurants within a 10 min walk. The reception area has dining tables and a lounge area for the use of guests. The manager Joseph went out of his way to help me on a number of occasions and made sure my stay was seemless. He is an absolute credit to the hotel, extremely hard working, ensuring all of his guests are looked after.
