OYO 348 Ocean Bay Surf Resort

The staff, particularly Akalanka and Vijay, are extremely helpful and will deal with any request (E.g. Hiring a scooter, tuk-tuk hire, additional wifi, assistance with cooking, laundry, surf lessons, car hire, local knowledge, where to purchase specific items) or issue (general room repairs etc) swiftly. Benefits above other hotels include: TV and xbox in comfortable and friendly communal areas, communal kitchen, pool. Rooms are cleaned to an excellent standard, but on request (even daily).

I spent a month in this hotel. What was good: 1. Location - it's 5 min walk from the ocean and surf spots. There is a couple of good cafes nearby. 2. The quality of the room/price ratio was also good for me. 3. There was an AC in the room and it worked well. 4. There is a fridge and the electric kettle on the floor. 5. The staff helped to make some adjustments in the room for a longer stay. 6. And overall the staff is helpful. Thank you, guys. 7. The manager of the hotel Mr. Viduschan has a really good heart. 8. There's a pool in fron of the hotel. I used it only once at night. And I really liked it. 9. Cleaning was done every time I asked. And it was done well. 10. There's railroad tracks near and the train goes by several times a day. It was a fun experience for me. Didn't bother at all. 11. There are tanks with filtered water on the first floor and you can replenish your water supplies every time you want. What I didn't quite like: 1. It was very damp in the bathroom. The water from the shower gets right on the floor which is common in Sri-Lanka. And the bathroom is constantly wet and humid. In this bathroom it led to a lot of small midges and mosquitos constantly inhabiting the walls. I had to get rid of them every day. 2. The pillow cases, bed sheets and the towels sometimes were with holes in them, or stains or smell. Like not fully cleaned. In this cases I asked to change them and the staff helped. 3. There's a small kitchen on the floor but from the way it was - I had no desire at all to cook something there. It was almost not equipped. 4. I had some difficulties with the laundry first. But also with the help of staff we could work that through. 5. There's a cafe "Blanc" on top of the hotel. I remember at least 6 times when they turned on loud music at different times of the day. I had to come to them and ask to turn it down a little so that I could have a conference call. But every time they turned it down. Overall, I liked staying in Ocean Surf Bay. Quality/price ratio was good for me. It was a good experience for me. The location is once again very good. Thank you, Mr. Vidu and dear staff for this month!

Wir buchten diese Unterkunft vorallem wegen dem Pool. Leider sehr schmutzig. Da will man nicht rein! Unser Zimmer im 2. Stock hatte kein Wifi. Waehrend 3 Nächten gab es keinen Roomservice. Das Personal an der Reception war überfordert & unbeholfen, wusste anfangs nichts von unserer Buchung. Der Boss war bemüht. Ich denke die Zimmer vorne wären schöner.
