Lazy Koala turned out to be a gem of a hotel. It's not fancy - think more value for money that covers the basics very well and more. It's conveniently located next to the main road and within walking distance of a few restaurants as well. The facilities were great too - the pool, the sunbeds, the rooftop terrace, parking were all great additions. We booked the dorm room and loved the simple room layout, and the bunk beds, power outlets, lighting and storage. The bathrooms were clean and well equipped as well - special note on the excellent water pressure. The staff were super helpful and breakfast was good too. Can recommend!
There was free WiFi but for some reason it wasn't the best. Maybe something that can be fixed easily. The pool could have been a bit cleaner especially the area below the stairs - not a deal breaker though.

Loved the hospitality of the facility maintaining staffs and the location. As a solo traveller, explored the bunker option and they were comfortable and budget friendly. The cleanliness of the rest rooms and the overall facility was really well maintained. Will come back again with my family.
Facility to ring at the gate to notify the reception. Coming there for the 1st time and seeing the outdoor bell being broken / not available was confusing on how to contact.

The location is awesome, it’s about 1.5km from the Hikka town so the property was very relaxing and quiet, and it’s a short walk to the town. The interior is colorful and chic. Rooms were spacious and had everything we needed. There’s also beanbags laid out inside the rooms and on every floor of the building! The place is great whether you’re coming with a group, as a couple or alone, and for leisure or work. It’s a very calming space. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. No complaints.
Suggestion: Would be great if there were electric kettles and some coffee sachets in the rooms. The staff was kind enough to provide service at late hours but we would’ve preferred not having to disturb the staff after hours.

The view was really nice, and so was the room. Clean comfortable, the shower was really nice and spacious. Plus really close to the bus stop to go to Colombo.
A little bit far from the city center, but if you don’t mind walking it’s not an issue. 15< minutes to get to the main bus station

The staff is so lovely and helpful. The dorms are really clean and comfortable with a nice sea view! you don’t get that everywhere. English breakfast is good. Common areas are well decorated. I really enjoyed my stay and extended for one more night. Thank you for everything!
A bit far from the center (20min walk) but that’s alright, it didn’t bother me.

The bed was very comfortable and sheets etc very clean. Loved the fluffy towels and given additional towel for the swimming pool. The swimming pool was amazing and surprisingly big. You could have a decent swim. The room was very spacious and nicely decorated and very clean. The service was courteous and polite and not intrusive. Even though the hostel looks out over the road it wasn't noisy in the room because of good black-out, sound proofing curtains. Quite ,laidback place which was very tranquil away from the busy part further north of Hikkadua. Loved the rooftop seating area which provided a lovely place to watch the sunset and chill out after we got back in the evening. Place for safe secure parking off the main road.
Would have liked to have a kettle, coffee and tea in the room. We were able to get a pot of tea when we arrived. Unfortunately the TV did not work but internet was good so I could catch up on the news.

The property was a beautiful boutique hotel with modern aesthetics. The location is perfect especially the Ocean facing rooms and it is just 2kms away from Hikka beach and the city centre. The owner Mr.Dirk was very warm and welcoming, he even helped us with great recommendations on things to do at Hikkaduwa. Every morning we would look forward to the wonderful breakfast cooked by the chef, the wonderful chats and exciting travel stories of Dirk. The terrace was a magical place for sunset lovers as the panoramic view of the sea is just outstanding! It truly left us speechless. I would highly recommend this property to everyone visiting Hikkaduwa for the love and warm hospitality you will receive here.
Nothing, everything was perfect!

This place is amazing! The hospitality and friendliness of Conrad and the chef whose name was too hard to remember are incredible. Beeing greeted with a fresh juice on arrival and having a delicious breakfast prepared every morning just made my week at their place a week to remember. It's definitely worth staying there! Good luck to both of you!
It's a bit further from Hikkaduwa centre, like a 15min. walk or a cheap tuktuk ride.

A wonderful hostel with exceptional dorms, great showers, friendly staff and a pool to cool down in. Social areas are also well-considered and relaxing.
