Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was not good, no extra towels, tissues and bathroom push shower was broken overall not clean at all.
The receptionist was reluctant to give password and was misinformed about number of rooms by her manager. I had to show my Expedia receipt to confirm my rooms.

We stayed a night in September 2025 at the Happy Banana Hotel in Galle (Unawatuna), Sri Lanka. Due to plumbing works, water supply was off for a while. However, the living was homely, night music and people’s crowd was entertaining, and breakfast at the beach was astounding.
