The perfect place for a relaxing stay
I stayed 4 nights and Riverbank Bentota and had a wonderful experience there. Although the hotel is slightly difficult to spot from the road, I didn't have trouble finding it. It is a short walk from the Aluthagama train station so great for people who are coming with the train from Colombo. The hotel is lovely and small so perfect for people who don't enjoy the huge crowds of tourists in some of the larger hotels. My room was very spacious and had a lovely high ceiling. It was also clean and comfortable and had a large balcony with a stunning view of the river and the swimming pool in the garden. Perfect for relaxing in the afternoon. The swimming pool is great if you are feeling a bit too lazy to walk to the beach (Bentota beach is a 10 min walk away) or if the waves are too large for swimming that day. The breakfast was delicious - always came with plenty of fresh fruit and enough coffee to last you the day. The hotel owners/staff were lovely and accommodating hosts and I would definitely stay there again.

Very nice guest house near Bentota
The Riverbank Bentota is an excellent guest house. The rooms are large and comfortable, and the Wi-Fi worked well during our stay. There is a pool, which was most welcomed in the heat. The included breakfast was very good, and the family also fixed us lunch and dinner (at modest additional cost) when the local restaurants were closed due to a holiday. They also gave us complementary rides to the beach (about 1.5 km away) and provided a convenient ride to the airport at the going price. The local area is not as nice, as the guest house is on a busy street, with many shops and a market mostly used by the locals. The large tourist hotels are across the river (about a 15 min walk). There are limited restaurants near the guest house, but we found the Happy Fish Restaurant (next to the bridge across the river) a good choice.

Backing Onto The River, Just Outside Town
Probably one of the nicest places I stayed at while in Sri Lanka, they're within walking distance of the main stree, but set back behind other buildings, thus very quiet. It only takes 4 minutes to walk to one of the towns top bar/restaurant, but where the prices are still reasonable.

Excellent place to stay. The owners were friendly and helpful. Just would like to see sheets and pillow cases on the bed. When you stay at a small hotel you support the family man and not a big business. Stay locally.
