Roman Beach

A very comfortable hotel with very friendly/helpful staff and great food Nothing

The location is excellent and quiet, with direct access to the beach. Both the breakfast area and our room had an ocean view, and the à la carte breakfast was very good. The hotel team is excellent and very professional. We stayed one night in room 103. The entrance and dining area are not very inviting and the room feels very dated—the hotel clearly needs major renovations. The room and bathroom did not feel clean, and the towels were grayish rather than white. I don’t understand why most reviews rate it a 10. In its current condition, the property feels closer to a 2.5 star standard.

Location is a 10/10, specially for families, a little tucked away from the hassle of main Hikkaduwa beach. But we need to highlight the team. The level of committed service was incredible. The team had unmatchable attention to detail making our children feel safe and welcome. As an example, we spent two nights during Christmas season and the team prepared a special dinner along with many treats and small gifts for our children. As they realized we had a little girl that loved her time in the pool, they went out to buy a nice flamingo-shaped buoy for her. Rooms have good areas and are furnished in a minimal beach-style done with good taste.

Its a beach front hotel,amazing atmosphere and very clam area to relax None

The property is located right near the best beach with stunning views. The pool is amazing and the garden around it is kept so well by Mr. Shujat. The staff were super attentive to every need including recommendations on places to visit. The food was spectacular!

Location, pool, staff, great food at reasonable prices Nothing really, I totally enjoyed everything.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Roman Beach Hotel. It's location right by the beach with the pool, the beautifully designed rooms overlooking the beach, the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff, and the tasty breakfast spread were all exceptional. We were able to go on a nice walk along the beach during sunset. The hotel is also close to a number of good restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Roman Beach Hotel. The service was exceptional and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was another highlight — delicious, with large portions that really exceeded expectations. The hotel wasn’t crowded, which made the atmosphere very relaxing. Our room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. It does show a bit of age, but nothing that affects comfort. We also had a jacuzzi in the room, which was a nice touch. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly — we were able to stream Netflix and YouTube without any lag. There was no TV in the room, possibly removed for repairs. Also, since we were on the top floor, the water pressure was a bit low. The location is right on the beachfront, but the beach itself is almost non-existent as the sea comes very close to the property. However, Narigama Beach is just a short 30-meter walk away and is much better for a beach experience. Overall, it was a really enjoyable and comfortable stay. Exceptional value for money. Would definitely recommend!

Roman Beach is a small hotel but with a high staff ratio so the service is exceptional and is clearly a focus of the staff. Breakfast is feast and is individually prepared - not a buffet. The menu for lunch and dinner provides a wide selection of Sri Lanka and western food. The chef will quite often come out and talk to you about special dishes he can prepare. We stayed in a large room which was very comfortable. The bathroom was also large with a good array of toiletries. The AC worked well and there is also a ceiling fan. The property has a great pool and also has direct access to the beach. It has all the ingredients for a very relaxing holiday. One minor improvement would be a wider selection of wine.

Nice clean comfortable room

Very good

Right from entering this hotel till the time we checked out all we experienced is endless warm hospitality. The staff here is so warm throughout the day. They will never say No to any of your requests. The next best thing is the view from the hotel and the location. The beach is directly connected to this hotel and if walk in the beach you will find many beach shacks and restaurants near by. The WiFi connection was far better than other stays that I had in Sri Lanka. Also, the food here was good. The chef here also served customized out of the menu items. We just have to tell him what we like and what we are looking for and also he has his suggestions. Over and all it was a very good experience.

Exceptional

The best thing about the property is all the staff! They can’t do enough for you. Thanks to Kolani, Varna, Suppon, Ashit, & Sugath and the others that I didn’t get their names. Suppon made a lovely meal for me on my last night, thank you again. Breakfast is a feast & plentiful, it’s Al la Carte which I like but I couldn’t have all 3 courses! The pool is really well kept and looks into the beach. The location is ideal if you don’t want be central as it’s an easy walk along the beach. Any issues were resolved promptly. The staff really can’t do enough for you

All staff were fantastic. Chef made sure we were happy with our meals. Manager was very helpful as well. Hotel is in a great position too. Fairly expensive stay in Sri Lanka.

The staff - amazing, attentive & went the extra mile for anything. Stood without a chair? They bring you one. Need a table for a drink? It’s already on its way. The welcome was super warm. The chef & food - I don’t believe there is anything they would not find for you if you fancied it. The chef came out while we ordered which was of so much value to us as he gave recommendations, they did not disappoint!! It makes such a difference to be able to give compliments to the chef face to face. The room - clean, spacious, gorgeous views, bathrooms lovely & the body wash smelt delicious. The welcome flowers on the bed were gorgeous. Everything was great - underrated spot

the pool was amazing the food was very goog the staff super nice and helpful the view beautiful. the bedsheets were stained it was disgusting. the bathtub is only for decoration, it never gets full.

The room and the balcony were spacious, with a view over the pool to the sea. * The sheets the first night were splattered with dried blood; we found what may have been a dead bed bug. * When the chef came to see us before we left, his white jacket was covered in stains and dark with grubby dirt - what was his kitchen like? * Breakfasts would have been comical if they and the coffee were not so bad. Whether we wanted it or not, they finished with 'dessert', typically several rock-hard waffles piled on top of one another. * No alcohol available - though if we asked for a bottle of beer, a waiter would get on his bike to go to find one elsewhere. * No steps to the beach, just a difficult path down to the sand. * Very poor value for money. Many top hotels in Colombo charge a lot less. So did a brilliant small hotel further along the coast we stayed at for our first week.

The location is perfect. You can enjoy the peace and quiet but still can reach restaurants and bars through a walk on the beach. Whenever you are on your balcony, in the pool, or in the restaurant, you can still enjoy the beautiful view of the sea. In addition to the wonderful staff, we can say that it was a great place to stay.

Very supportive staff and nice location
