Tired, basic hotel that could do with a refresh
It's an old hotel. 50 yrs. So it's tired and needs a refurbish. Rooms are OK, but bathroom leaks water from the shower leaving puddles of water in the bathroom. Could smell urine in room 205 when using the shower so probably linked to the drainage system. Pool needs redone as several broken tiles and there were 3 people I saw who cut themselves including a member of staff and my daughter. Restaurant and bar is very good, great choice and food options are lovely. Staff are excellent and very friendly. Opposite a supermarket which is handy. So overall a really nice hotel, pretty basic but has great potential with a bit of investment.

I call this side the city view side of the hotel the forgotton section of the hotel. Prior to this I was in the ocean view room, for 10 days, all connected to the hotel with easy access to any part of the hotel.And I paid less for the room with breakfast included.For the city view rooms I paid more and extra for breakfast. To get to the main building I had to come out of the side of the hotel and walk pass the little shop and enter through the reception anytime of day or night. I also felt that the rooms on this side of the hotel were given less attention. I had to inquire about the cleaning people that were very visible on the other side and did not see on this side. On request my room was cleaned and with a call to the house keeping the beverage supplies were brought to the room. Given the choice I will not stay in Citrus if I had to settle for the city view rooms. All the staff were very friendly and caring.

Not very good
Just basic, bare bones accommodation. One of the members of our group said it was more like a lodge than a hotel. There were rust spots around the room and fixtures, even in the kettle. The room was clean but the quality of everything belongs in a much cheaper property. the mattresses, sheets, bathrooms, shower, were all below average. The AC didn't work properly. All round, quite a disappointment. Some of the staff were very friendly and helpful, esp at reception, but that wasn't true of the staff in the restaurant and elsewhere. We even got charged for something we hadn't ordered!

The only good thing about this place was the beach and the location. If I would have known that the quality of the building and the room was that bad I would spend another $100+ just to get a clean renovated or new room. This was a guest house quality -. Will not recommend unless your budget is max $60 per night.

Galle Cricket stay.
Over for the England cricket and it is just coming into season. Lively hotel when the Barmy Army were here and a lot quieter afterwards. It's a good hotel right on the beach and by the main road. Super swimming pool. Buffet breakfast is fine. We had a 6th floor room with a.great view of the Ocean. If you're travelling ton Hikkaduwa it's worth considering. John, Coventry, Barmy Army.

Good location for a relaxing stay
After having done a lot of travelling we just wanted a few days of relaxation. The hotel fulfilled our brief reasonably well. It has a good pool, and on one side of the hotel is the beach and on the other the main road of the town. Traffic can be [only a little bit] noisy and you may get woken early by the horn of the local train. This did not spoil our stay - but get a room that overlooks the pool and beach.The town is bustling, and there are a few restaurants for you to try, but we ate in the hotel; the breakfasts and dinners were good and lunch was available too. What made it a good experience for us, apart from just doing nothing, was the staff. They were extremely helpful to us, especially when we had a transport problem, and they were happy in their jobs. All were ready with a smile, and to have a laugh and a joke. The hotel fabric was in dire need of refurbishment. It looks 'tired', but our bedroom was very clean and comfortable.

Adequate accommodations for a week
Very friendly and polite staff. Staff training needs some input, although the staff was always polite and tried to help. Bar staff were particularly slow. Electrics need upgrading in rooms for charging up gadgets New mini fridges too.. Activities on site need clearer notifications. We had immediate action from staff when they knew we were not happy with our room and appreciated a room with a better view.. I will recommend it with reservations.

Nice place at nice location
Nice hotel at nice location. Staff is pleasant and willing to help. I rated staff with 3* because I have booked room with sea view and they reserved 2 rooms in basement without any view from room. After our guide complaint and ask for new rooms they changed rooms to 2nd floor on our 2nd night onwards. Overall nice experience.
