Reviews of Tamara Motels

Lovely big room Nice bathroom Lovely staff very understanding and helpful and cancelled our last night as we left due to noise and disruption the night before

Noise from train was deafening People smoking outside our room late at night...we were on the top floor and were the only room there (scared me as the people there were saying that this was a smoking area, woke us up talking outside @11pm at night) had to go and speak to management to resolve as they would not leave.

Good price. The people who ran it seemed very kind and were very welcoming.. The location is just opposite the beach. Fantastic. Tha place was very clean. The bus and train station are nearby, and buses stop along the main street, heading to Galle.

I liked the place, but it's important to know that as you are so close to the railway tracks, the trains do go racing past every couple of hours. Some of the early evening ones rattle the windows. You do get used to it.

Amazing location. Perfect for your staff in hikkaduwa and galle

Clean n comfort

a bit noisy due to the railway adjacent

Lovely spacious room with kitchen area and nice bathroom. Everything is new and very clean. Air condition in the room & heater for shower. Great value for money.

Great location , the family running it were very nice

Not really 4 star , more like 2 star. The train behind is also extremely loud

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Tamara's family was incredibly kind and welcoming. They went above and beyond to assist us with helpful suggestions and support. Looking forward to see them again.

nothing

The family than owns the hotel is so nice and hospitable🫶🏼 I highly recommend to stay here The location to the beach, restaurants are good.

Very clean

Small pillows

Thos beautiful place is run by a beautiful family, and they can't do enough to help! The rooms are a good size and great value. My room had A/C, hot water and a mini fridge which is invaluable! It's one minute's walk to the beach and is really well located for beach bars/restaurants/banks and shops. They offer tours and airport transfers also. I understand that they do amazing food, although I didn't get chance to try.

Although it's a haven of peace there is the main rail line directly behind the property, but the trains are infrequent and it really isn't a problem.

Great rooms with a very friendly family

Good value for money, clean and cosy room. Friendly owner and 5 mins n walk to the beach

Train line behind the hotel is very loud, so be prepared. But for the cost it's okay

clean and comfortable room, friendly staff. Good value for the price

very loud because the railway tracks are next to the guest house :(

The staff were super friendly, the room was very clean and big! Breakfast was simple but good. Location was good also and they have a scooter for rent which was very helpful.

A vert clean room with a great location close to the beach.

Location was very noisy due to the railway just outside the rooms. The bed was not comfortable

The people were very friendly and nice, the room was lovely and very clean, there was a lovely calm and relaxing atmosphere, I would highly recommend staying here!!

Nothing!

TV didn't work. The beds were very hard. There was a musty smell in the room.

This was our first hotel on our first trip to Sri Lanka, and it left a very warm impression. We found this place very atmospheric and cozy, with delicious breakfasts and everything we need, close to the beach, but at the same time surrounded by the jungle. On the third floor there is a large veranda and lines for drying clothes, on the first floor there is a shower to rinse off after the sea. The room had a safe, refrigerator, hairdryer and kettle. When it rained, the hosts thoughtfully provided us with umbrellas.

A modest small room for two, a tiny window behind bars and strange bed linen were not its strong point. One of the inconveniences may be the railway running under the walls of the hotel, and the walls shake at night and several times a day from passing trains. But for a few days it seemed even romantic to us.

This is a family run guest house, and the owners were so nice and helpful. The place is spotlessly clean. The location is very good I would recommend it to anyone, BUT FOR ONE THING.. See above

What bookings.com don't tell you is there's a main train line running along the back of this property. The trains run day and night. The rooms vibrated as they went past. See video

The property is maintained very clean by the host family. The location is close to beach and reef. Breakfast available at the property which is a plus.A value for money stay, highly recommended

I had a lovely stay! The owners are amazing und very helpful people. Everything ist very clean und cozy :)

We had a very large family room on the top floor. It was cool and spacious with very comfy beds, a safe for valuables, kettle cups, glasses and cutlery. Very useful! It had a large and very effective fan as well as excellent aircon. Everything was spotlessly clean. The bathroom was amazing with hot and cold showers, great lighting and beautiful plants! we had a private balcony with a sea view on the oneside and a shared balcony overlooking the railway tracks on the other. There were lots of fireflies! the trains to go right past, and are noisy, briefly, but they were no problem to us! we enjoyed watching them! All the shared areas were covered in plants and beautifully maintained. Our hosts were really friendly and helpful. it's 2 -3 minutes walk to one of the little beaches suitable for swimming!
