Hotel Name: Village Inn
Address: Off Yaddehimulla Rd, Unawatuna, Sri Lanka
I stayed at the Village Inn guesthouse in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka. I found this place via Lonely Planet (the book version) which was listed as a recommended place. I was walking around looking for a place and ended up here.
Unawatuna is 5 km south of Galle and is usually lumped together with Galle. If you are a beach person then you may prefer to stay here and just do day trips into Galle. I felt that Unawatuna was a destination in itself, so I stayed in Galle first and then moved on to Unawatuna.
Unawatuna also makes a good base if you want to visit several beaches in one trip. There are many great along the south coast that can can be reached by bus if you want to go exploring.
The Village Inn is just off the beach street and down a little lane. The property is set in land surrounded by coconut trees and it feels like you are in the countryside, yet it is only 3 minutes walk to the beach.
The guesthouse is set on a property with accommodation in a few different buildings.
I got a room upstairs which has a little sitting area outside the room.
My room was a double (comprised of two singles) with an attached bathroom. The mattresses were a bit thin but wasn’t too uncomfortable.
Standard cold-water shower in the bathroom.
All up I enjoyed my stay here, especially being surrounded by nature which makes the property stand out from the other guesthouses on the beach road. It’s a good option if you are looking for a budget room and don’t mind these basic guesthouses.
If you are looking for something a little more luxurious then search for more guesthouses and hotels in Unawatuna at Agoda.
