    It felt a bit tired and in need of a light refurb - though the owner said he is doing up the front to turn it into a restaurant and bar which would be very good!

    Staff are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. So accommodating and we’re happy to do me a breakfast later in the morning even though technically it finished at 10. Breakfast was delicious - fruit, toast, coffee and Sri Lankan omelette

    Verandah doors has slated ventilation which weren't covered up, so mosquitoes could get in.

    Room was located at the back of the property, with a small verandah overlooking a courtyard. Property had been recently renovated, was clean, excellent air con, and great shower. Decent breakfast and short walk to the beach (even shorter if you stroll through the beach club opposite!).

    Not much, the family hotel is value for money

    The staff is absolutely friendly and were very helpful even with our late check out providing refreshing opportunities Breakfast was of good proportion with a variety of fruits and choices such as pancakes or granola. The location is very convenient and with a 1 minute walk you are at the beach. The frontside of the hotel looks clean and seems to be maintained not long ago. The room are modest but needs the essentials such as warm water and airco.

    - the smallest beds we had in Sri Lanka, my husband had to sleep diagonal as otherwise his feet wouldnt fit in (he is quite tall though 195cm) - mosquito net provided per request was terrible- its like a tent put on a bed and you actually have to sleep on the net (wonder how its being cleaned also), see picture - plenty of mosquitoes when we arrived so would t do without net, as we left after 2 nights it got much much better so perhaps no mosquito net could be an option if you are willing to invest your time to hunt them all.. - we had issues with no water apparently due to some renovations.. they quickly fixed it but the water pressure was on and off- wondering whether everytime someone else is taking a shower, pressure goes down to everyone

    -The location is excellent- 2-3min away from the beach and around many different restaurants -Very clean, good towels -very friendly staff -nice breakfast

    Our stay was PERFECT! I don't have words to describe how amazing everything was at Anchorage. Mr. Neranja and all the staff was the best surprise we had on our trip. They try to do everything to make us happy. They made dreams come true! The food?! AMAZING! The chef is not only very kind but also cooks with heart. His food is full of flavours, simply delicious! Thank you again, Mr. Neranja and all the staff, you are stars!

    The service at this property was absolutely outstanding – the staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with any requests. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and provided a very comfortable stay. The location is incredibly convenient, just a few minutes’ walk to the beautiful Mirissa Beach, making it easy to enjoy the sun and sea without hassle. The surrounding area also has plenty of great restaurants and shops within walking distance. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Mirissa. Highly recommended!

    My stay at Anchorage Hotel was nothing but a wonderful overall experience. The location is excellent, the hotel is only a short 2 minute walk to the beach and located in a quiet area away from the noise of the main strip. The hotel has been freshly renovated with taste and offers a great in house restaurant. Our rooms were clean, well-maintained, and spacious. I appreciated the small touches they included for guests comfort, for example the mini-fridge and complimentary toiletries. The staff were friendly, extremely professional and we were always greeted with a big smile. No request was too big or small. On our return to Mirissa during the same trip, our accomodation we had booked for New Year’s Eve fell through. Given our first stay at Anchorage was so wonderful, we contacted the owner directly to seek assistance. He arranged a room for us last minute and made sure we felt nothing less than comfortable. Staying at Anchorage, felt more like staying with a good friend or family than at a Hotel. I would recommend the Anchorage Hotel to anyone visiting Mirissa.

    No mosquito net over the bed was a concern, however we didn't get bitten. We did leave a mosquito coil burning all night on the balcony as a precaution.

    Our breakfast was the best breakfast we have had in Sri Lanka in the month that we have been here. We had fruit, freshly made pancakes with fresh fruit & honey, granola with yogurt fresh fruit & honey, fruit juice and a pot of tea. The bed is massive and comfortable. The shower had a proper shower enclosure which is a very rare thing in Sri Lanka, as you generally end up washing the entire bathroom. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. Good location. 2 min walk to the beach. Close to many bars and restaurants without having to go out on to the main road.

    Anchorage Mirissa ❤️ I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Anchorage Mirissa during my visit to Sri Lanka. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. 1. Impeccable Service The staff at Anchorage Mirissa went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. Special thanks to the manager Madu, and her team, Chamila, Krishan, Sanjeewa, Osadha & Hansana, their service was impeccable. They anticipated my needs and made me feel like a valued guest. 2. Serene Ambiance The hotel’s design is a perfect blend of modern elegance and functional charm. The lush greenery in the surroundings and the soothing beach front created a serene ambiance. I enjoyed sipping my morning Tea, surrounded by tropical trees—it truly felt like an oasis in the bustling city. 3. Culinary Delights The hotel’s Chef Chamila deserves a special mention. The breakfast service was a delightful spread of value for money local and international dishes. I relished the freshly baked pancakes, exotic fruits, and aromatic Sri Lankan tea. For dinner, I indulged in local specialties that were bursting with spice and flavor. 4. Comfortable Rooms My room were clean and equipped with all the amenities I needed. I appreciated the attention to detail. The mosquito issue with tropical climate exists but it is similar with other resorts too, the staff has repellent spray and electric diffuser etc. so please ask the manager. 5. Prime Location This place is 2-3 hrs drive from the BN International airport so you can either Uber or ask the hotel to arrange for pick up. Buy a local SIM card from the airport, Dialog & SLT mobitel are cheap. I explored the nearby Mirissa beach, Galle Fort, enjoyed sunset strolls along the beach. Visited Cargills & Keels for general shopping. In Summary: If you’re looking for a tranquil retreat in Mirissa, I highly recommend the Anchorage Mirissa.
