This guesthouse is okay but nothing special, especially when compared to the price. Our room was full of ants and the staff was unfriendly. We slept here for one night and wouldn't have liked to stay longer. The location is good if you like the beach but that's about it.

This is wonderful place to stay in Unawatuna. We had stayed 4 nights and rooms are very clean and very good for the price we paid. Staff are very helpful. I recommend to book he rooms before go SurfCity.

We booked through hostel bookers which never made it clear anywhere that we had just booked a fan room ( if we'd done it here we would have seen!), so we were disappointed to find we were only getting a fan room for 3000 rupees! The rooms are pretty average really for the price, much more than we've paid anywhere... More

If you like to be by the beach with a nightclub playing outside rather than listen to the waves this is for you. The guys are overly helpful at night sometimes in the wrong way! The room was simple and slightly dirty and had lots of mosquitos.Very close to the beach

Pretty helpful owner. There was lack of availability of rooms for the weekend while we had booked. He arranged alternate room for us in other hostel for the time he could not accomodate us. He also offered that we could stay in his house for free if he couldn't arrange for alternate rooms. Rooms are pretty average to OK. Depending... More

Let's be honest... It was ok and I probably shouldn't complain or expect too much, but I have to say it didn't quite meet my reasonable expectations. The room was basic but comfortable enough. I was pleased there was hot water; however, it only came out as a little trickle. Fortunately there's another cold water shower head which is larger.... More

Surfcity's main advantage is its location, it is almost literally on the beach, only a few steps away. It is a budget hotel, so don't expect luxury, but the kind staff makes up for the incompleteness of the rooms. The restaurant belonging to the hotel has excellent food, tried both breakfast and dinner. Plus the only drinkable coffee in the... More
