We stayed for 9 days at Ypsylon hotel in January 2013. We did not have any expectations before our arrival since we knew it was a 2-star hotel. Rooms are ok and the location is good. After exploring the area we found better hotels for the same price. Food was also OK. However, the service was fantastic! The staff was... More

Here are the three main reasons why we did not like our stay at the Ypsylon Guest house: 1/ Location is OK but all buildings need serious cleaning and renovation; sea view settings are fine without being extraordinary. 2/ Food is not a great asset either. 3/ Attitude of staff and management is far from being customer friendly; very disappointing....

I went to Sri Lanka through Thomas Cook and this resort was not on their itenary. However, after referring to the reviews of some kind souls on tripadvisor, I insisted on having it on my itenary. The best part is the location (it has a private beach and good old beach chairs for relaxation, with the light tower just some... More

There are also 2 chairs with a small table both inside and outside on the verandah. The room has a fan (there are also separate... More

Left to my own devices at reception, I soon realised that when the owner is away, the staff will only act if there is something in it for them (sell you a tour, sell you local mosquito repellent that does not work). The place has seen better days, and I am tolerant about facilities, but there comes a point at... More

Good breakfast, every day cleaned beach. We had de luxe room with AC bigger and well located, bathroom basic,Very honest owner - we ordered 4 weeks, we... More

If you are looking for a 5 star hotel on the beach front, this is not it. But it more than makes up with its superb location right there on the beautiful pristine beach. Rooms are ok. Mosquitoes can suck all your blood out. so go prepared with repellant. Bathroom was passable, if you are not too fussy. Breakfast was... More
