We had a deluxe room which was fantastic; lovely big bed and a massive shower. The best bit was the balcony complete with loungers and an amazing view over the stunning (and surprisingly empty) Bentota beach. The staff were lovely and very accomadating; they organised a driver to collect us from the airport at 5am and didn't charge us extra... More

We arrived late a night and found the staff very accommodating. The room had a separate sitting area as well as the bedroom. We had a refrigerator (with beer and soft drinks) and fan. If there was AC we never found it. They did not have Wifi but had a commuter for checking email. The food was OK but we... More

My room was really nice and cosy and bathroom was good. Except for: the train station - there are trains you can barely ignore all night long, the food not great at all and the water which is hot except when it rains. In a tropical country I think it's quite stupid. Otherwise staff is nice and beach is two... More

We booked a deluxe room and enjoyed a wonderful view of the ocean except when the trains stop (see pictures of the view with and without train). A minor point you may think until the first train pulls in at 04:30 and I defy anybody to sleep through that or in fact any of the trains that pass at regular... More

but disinterested and rather uninformed staff and a pretty noisy location right next to the railway station. Luckily the trains don't hoot at night! The restaurant served an OK breakfast and they were quite sweet about getting our fried eggs just right. But the lunch and dinner we tried were both close to inedible. It's difficult to bathe from the... More

Arrived late into Bentota and booked into horrible guesthouse, the next morning walked the beach and asked several locals and tourists their recommendations for reasonable priced, relaxing and clean place - Susantha was the name that came up the most, thankfully it lived up to it's rap. Staff friendly and helpful, rooms clean, with old world feel, food excellent -... More

This place is so near to the main galle-colombo road & it's really easy to find! & it's a small hotel with both AC & non AC rooms but it's really nice. It's a quiet place with a garden & the beach is so near to the place. & the beach is really nice in the early mornings & evenings... More

We stayed in Bentota in july 2010 and stumbled across Susanthas and ended up going there for lunch and sometimes dinner too.... Staff were lovely - very friendly and helpful - especially the Manager "Prem(a)". We found him to be most helpful about the local area and genuinely interested in other cultures and countries. He even treated us to a... More

Bentota was our last stop on the Sri Lankan Iteniary so we just neeeded a relaxing place to sit back and think about the trip. But Susantha's really made the last day special! Located right behind the railway station and ust a walk away from the bentota beach, the Hotel offfers a range of facilities at attractive prices. The rooms... More
