Jungle Soul

Our stay at Jungle Soul Hotel was not good. I would not recommend that others stay there. I booked a double room for two, and the pictures were misleading. The room was damp and dirty. I tried not to touch anything. The shower didn't stay upright to shower underneath. The roof on one side of the bathroom was only a plastic sheeting, so it was loud at night. We also had geckos and frogs in the room. On the second night, the bathroom started to smell of sewage. It was so bad that we could not stay in the room. They had to move everyone from the ground floor to the rooms on the first floor. Thankfully, the first-floor rooms were free; otherwise, we would have had to go to another hotel. The first-floor room was nicer, with a tiny balcony (not enough room to sit and enjoy) and a decent shower, but it was right beneath the restaurant, so again, it was very noisy at night and early in the morning. The restaurant had a nice vibe, was decorated well, and was generally much more pleasant than being in the rooms! It feels like you're in the jungle with all the lovely greenery around. The breakfast was tasty, but there were limited options for those staying there. The restaurant was a 3-star, the rooms on the first floor were 2-star, and the rooms on the ground floor were 1-star. It was pretty cheap, but I could get much nicer elsewhere for the same price! Overall, could eat here but not sleep.

Room was small and dark, described as a one bedroom but it was a studio. Common areas were nicely decorated. Restaurant was good and breakfast was included and had lots of options. Hotel did not advise they did not accept credit and then staff became annoyed when we took too long to find a bank machine. Probably better suited for single people and couples rather than families.

Slightly off the side road meant living deep in ‘jungle’ / greenery. Great room.

We were 3 adults sharing a family room. The room was big, beds very really good, everything functional and good. Owners and staff were the most welcoming and helpfull persons we have met. We had several wishes all from massage , manicure and so on, they helped us with booking. The hotel is not on beach side niether on main street which means it is surrounded by vegetation and there is no noise from street/traffic, 4-5 min easy walk to the beach with sunbeds. Breakfast is the largest and best breakfast I have had i Sri Lanka, we never had lunch since we had this huge breakfast. We can deffinately recommend this Hotel.
