Only a few minutes by taxi from the airport. Large rooms, basic but clean. Large shower rooms ,and hot water too!!
Lovely staff at the pool and restaurant, thought the reception staff could use a lesson in customer service.
As with most Sri Lankan hotels, the Golden Star is getting a bit rough around the edges, but set right on the beach you can't beat it for it's situation. Walking distance to many restaurants, and a short tuk tuk ride to the town centre.
Good ayuverdic doctor across the road , unfortunately, I had to see him during our stay, and he was superb.
The hotel has large partiesof transit passengers pass through, and on these nights the restaurant puts on large buffets. Well worth sampling.
we are going to Sri lanka on the 16th Feb and will be staying here at the beginning and end of our stay. Nuff said! more
