The only thing is the road from The Spice House to the citycentre, with a lot of trafic and no streetlight or safe footpath. But there are always tuktuks to take you there.

What a beautyfull place. A botanic garden with lovely flowers, all kind of seats, a great swimmingpool and even monkeys in the garden. Beautyfull rooms with lots of space and decorated with style. A good warm shower, nice blacony. A very nice hostess and staff who prepare nice breakfast and always there to give you a good advice for a daytrip or a restaurant.

The Spice House is a little gem in Mirissa set in beautiful gardens, with a lovely swimming pool. Our hosts were very attentive and friendly, offering tips and advice. Our room overlooked the garden, and we loved the colonial style. The rooms are named after spices. Ours was Tamarind. There is a fridge which is useful and access to water, milk, and sugar for tea and coffee. The breakfast was plentiful and very beautifully presented. We really enjoyed Mirissa and staying at The Spice House.

The access to the beach at that end of Mirissa is a bit tricky and not clearly marked.

We loved the very friendly staff, the beautiful gardens, the room which had its own verandah, ceiling fans and air con! We LOVED the pool which was so beautiful and peaceful and cool! The breakfast was fabulous and the location up behind the chaos of the street, with views out into the trees where we could watch monkeys swing was so great.

The staff a gentle and kind. Kamal, helped with any request. The place is an oasis of calm in nature. Would highly recommend this place to couples and families.

Everything was great, but you can negotiate better prices for a tuktuk ride and nearby massage services.

We loved the pool and the beautiful plants everywhere. It was really an oasis from the busy street outside. The hotel staff were all very sweet and happy to assist us.

Brown towels, black pillow cases, dark sheets. I know it’s practical but doesn’t make me feel happy and glossy. It was drab.

Breakfast was a highlight. Delicious eggs, toast, fruit, juice and little Sri Lankan pastries. Pool was great. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Monkeys and fireflies were fun to watch. I sensed the beautiful aromas of cinnamon, cloves, lemongrass etc in the cleaning products, incense, garden, food etc. It really is The Spice House.

The air con in our room (cinnamon I think) wasn’t that effective. It cooled half the room but just didn’t reach the bed. Not entirely sure why and not sure what you could do about it but maybe a standing fan in that room (which I’m sure they would have provided if I asked).

Beautiful place. Fantastic staff and breakfast. Organised TukTuks for us. Helped us with a very late checkout to catch a late flight. Rooms are spacious and have a great style to them. Fridge in the room. Ceiling fan and air con. Hot water wasn’t too much of a problem. Didn’t have any noise issues personally.

The room and grounds of the hotel was absolutely gorgeous and luxurious. We loved the breakfast and the pool was amazing with lots of places available to sunbathe! The staff were really friendly and it was possible to get your clothes washed which was great.

They do not provide lunch/ dinner. However, there are lot of good restaurants nearby.

Breakfast was very good. Location is across the road from the beach and very close to Coconut tree hill point. Its a very homely atmosphere with lot of vegetation and a decent pool.

Lovely location with pretty garden and a pool. Srrved food was very taaty and close proximity to the beach.

The walk from the main property around to our suite was a bit annoying as the track was rough. Would be great to get the direct path through the bush developed!

Overall setting by the jungle with visiting monkeys and away from the street noise was so welcome!

Check in could have been quicker and the villa is a tuk tuk away from the hotel with luggage (a few minutes walk without luggage which was fine)

Great short stay in one of the villa rooms in Mirissa. Staff were very friendly and the room was very big, lovely and authentic. Great balcony overlooking the infinity pool. Breakfast was included which was very nice.
