Let me start we arrived at the hotel staff was super friendly right from the beginning. As we we’re walking to see our room we went towards the water to find out no beach since we are beach people my wife started to lose it I said let’s see the room first as she is telling Me I am not staying here . We go up to the room it was beautiful and comfortable! Well she opens cabinets where tv is supposed to be no tv boy she wanted to murder me . I said let’s spend the night and we will talk about it . Next morning we wake up have amazing breakfast and decide to sit by beautiful pool over looking the ocean how beautiful it was just like being on the beach without the sand she loved it ! Wow things got even more amazing find out that internet was so strong that she gets all her shows and she got into reading she was so happy ! Then we started to get to know the staff and they could not do enough for us the chef made us anything we wanted anytime we wanted I can’t say enough how perfect and fast the two weeks went. We travel all over the world to some of the biggest and best hotels and resorts in the world this hotel was intimate and small and we probably had one of the best times and felt at home at all times if I can recommend any hotel, this would be the one Amazing me I am not staying here

Fantastic paradise right on the beach. Close enough to all the tourism and excitement, but far enough away to have true peace and tranquility. The staff was absolutely phenomenal and the reason I will absolutely come back.

On arrival we were upgraded to a larger room. The room was fitted with very short, rock hard bed made of wood and a AC not able to cool the room at all. After telling the hotel about our bad first night, they moved us to a much better room, with a comfortable bed and a well functioning AC. Very friendly staff but bad communication (the rock hard bed the first night, a malfunctioning laundry machine that apparently made our laundry come back dirty and they initially wanted us to pay full price for the service). Nice breakfast and good food. No beach access from the hotel which was a surprise for us. Overall a nice experience but not worth the high price.

Lovely hotel and great location to the sea. Book a sea view room. Excellent breakfast which is cooked to order. Our room didn’t have a tv but you can ask at reception to put one in. To be honest the area itself is so great you don’t spend much time in the room. Very close to Galle and Unawatuna beach.

The design of the property is beautiful - great attention to detail. It is quirky yet elegant. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. They allowed us to shower in a different room after we checked out of our room as we wanted to stay by the pool longer. However the twin beds were extremely uncomfortable. It felt as if there was no mattress and we were sleeping directly on wooden planks. For such a lovely hotel it was quite surprising that this was the case.

The Owl and the Pussycat was the most amazing retreat. Every time we went out to explore local beaches or Galle we were more excited to return to the oasis that is OTP. The staff are wonderful and go out of their way to make sure guests are comfortable. I would go back to Sri Lanka just to stay at OTP again.

Uber fashionable boutique hotel overlooking the sea. Very trendy restaurant, stylish decor, good food and excellent, friendly staff. Only drawback is there is no beach in front of the hotel and most of that coast is too dangerous - rocky and rip tides - to swim. If that is not an issue for you and you are ok swimming in a pool then everything else gets top marks.

If you’re looking at this property stop looking & just book it! I spent a few days solo at OTP & it was total bliss! Great room. Fantastic food. Abaxing staff! Great, beautiful place to relax & chill. I didn’t leave the hotel until I had to check out! Stunning sunsets to be watched as you sip a cocktail in the bar! I’ve stayed in plenty of hotels in 10 years of visiting Sri Lanka & this one is right up there!

The OTP hotel receives rave reviews for a very good reason. The setting created the opportunity to create a haven, and that is exactly what has been achieved here, with the pool, bar area and dining area combining to form a perfect set-up. When you consider the level of service provided by all the staff, it truly stands out from the crowd.
