Central Beach Inn in Mirissa

Everything was great. We stayed in a deluxe room, a deluxe room with a balcony. The only difference was the floor: 1st and 2nd floors. The rooms were large and clean. There was a kettle, a safe, and a refrigerator. It was on the first line.

The hotel is right on the beach and was very clean. We stayed for two days, and the front desk told us there was no routine cleaning, but it wasn't important. There's a hotel dining area on the beach, and the hotel restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is open to the public; there weren't too many tourists. It's very convenient to get to the pier for whale watching; it's about a 10-minute walk. We hired a car for an island tour, so the driver took us there in the morning, and it only took about 2 minutes. It rained heavily every afternoon during our stay, and enjoying afternoon tea in the restaurant while watching the rain on the beach and sipping drinks was very pleasant. The beach restaurant has seafood, offering a fairly international selection of food, as well as local dishes, all of which were delicious. There were many Europeans and Americans there.

We had a wonderful stay at Central Beach Inn in a deluxe family room. The accommodation was lovely and very comfortable, with great air conditioning that made a big difference. All of the staff were absolutely brilliant friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The area was quiet and relaxing, yet close to a beautiful beach that we really enjoyed. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it

Nice spot on the beach. The room was basic but did the job as we were only stopping over for a couple of nights. The attached restaurant was great and not too noisy. We enjoyed dinner on the first night; lovely atmosphere.

The location is perfect.
The ocean is right in front, and there's a restaurant attached, so it's a great place to go at night for its atmosphere.
However, there are... a few bugs.
I was showering and a weasel crawled out of the drain, which was really scary...

After seeing the weasel, the ants and mosquitoes in the room were nothing special :)

The hotel is so well located, right in the heart of mirissa and with direct access to the beach. We would spend our days in the ocean and come right back to our room to change. We spent our evenings enjoying the sunset from the beachfront restaurant.

Excellent location in the heart of Mirissa. Great service, clean rooms. The ground floor is a bit cramped, but budget is an issue. If you want more comfort, book a suite on the second floor. Excellent restaurant with top-tier prices. It's packed in the evenings, unlike anywhere else. The staff is friendly and quick to respond to requests. I definitely recommend it.

We had the pleasure of staying at Central Beach Inn over the course of 2.5 weeks in December. During that time we stayed in several different rooms due to my late booking and busyness of the high season. Rooms are very reasonably priced and clean. AC and water pressure are great; beds are comfortable. As others have stated, there is some noise, in certain rooms, from the music played in the bar/restaurant; however, it isn't obnoxious and seems to cut off at a reasonable time in the evening. The hotel's location is also ideal; right in the middle of anything you could want to do in Mirissa with other good restaurants nearby as well. High points: very friendly staff who were without fail friendly and helpful, even on very hot days when they were clearly very busy, and the quality of food at the restaurant. Prices at this restaurant are a little higher than other beachfront locations, and from my perspective, this reflects the investment which the owners have made into food quality and staff training. Breakfast we tried included the granola bowl and the french toast; both fantastic, and for dinner we enjoyed the salads, wings, and all of the desserts. Can't speak to the seafood as we aren't big fish eaters, but we did see what was on offer and it appeared very fresh indeed. Bottom line, this is a place and a hotel I don't want to leave and hope to return to someday.
