Fantastic stay! The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent, and my room was already cool and comfortable when I arrived. Even though I arrived later than expected, it was no problem at all, the team was very accommodating and kind. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again!

The property was gorgeous and tucked away in a quiet area away from the Main Street yet still conveniently located. The staff were very kind and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic. We were sad to leave this place and would come back in a heartbeat.

Our 7 days at DCanal were lovely, it’s very peaceful, tucked away in the back streets. The free tuk tuk service to the town was very helpful. The pool, the staff, and the beaches nearby were a wonderful place to unplug.

Absolutely stunning boutique hotel, we stayed in hibiscus room and the sunrise room both were exceptional. The staff the location and the pool were perfect and the breakfast was very good. They lay on a free Tuk Tuk to get you to from hotel to beach takes less than 5 mins but is easily walkable. We visited slightly out of season so Mirissa was quiet and not every restaurant and bar was open but D Canal was still fully booked so advice is book early as this hotel is a real gem in every way. We stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary and could not have chosen a better hotel

Everything about this little boutique hotel was perfect. Only a small number of rooms, but with plenty of friendly staff for everything you need. Quiet & serene, a home away from home - but only 5 mins a (free) tuktuk to get to the town & beach.

Great place

The staff is Super nice, very helpful and quick to respond (usually could contact them over WhatsApp and got answers within minutes). The tuktuk service to the main road is a very nice thing to have, tho' we usually walked, wich wasn't that bad either. The rooms were big and nice, the pool area was also very nice. Would stay again if I were in Mirissa.

Beautiful property, very well decorated and surrounded by nature. It is a little far from main road in Mirissa but honestly that was a plus, they offer a free tuk tuk to/from main road and I much prefer the quietness and secluded area where the DCanal is located. Very good breakfast, super friendly staff and a very authentic experience. Loved everything about it!

D Canal was the highlight of our hotel stays in Sri Lanka. The decoration at the hotel was beautiful and unique. The chef made his own Mango, papaya and lime jam which was to die for. It was definitely the tastiest breakfast we had during our trip. The pool was very relaxing and the staff couldn’t do enough to make your stay enjoyable. There is a free tuk, tuk to and from the property from 10am to 7pm which was very generous. I wish we had stayed longer and will definitely be returning.

Beautiful haven surrounded by wildlife

Really beautiful haven in Mirissa, sitting right on the river and with a lovely pool. Sitting on the balcony, we saw monkeys, lizards, bats and a woodpecker. The furniture was all beautiful and they'd thought of everything, it was very comfortable and the AC was very powerful. The manager couldn't do enough to help, giving fantastic food recommendations, arranging free tuk tuks to get to town and welcoming us to use the pool after we'd checked out

Great value for money. Great location. Amazing! 5*

This was one of our best stays in Sri Lanka. Not only the property was immaculate, but also secluded meaning it was peaceful and private. The books we had was very nice and incredible value for money! Service was well beyond expectations. We were really blown away by the friendliness everyone showed us. I would go back in an eyeblink! Thank you so much to everyone. Ps. The homemade mango marmalade is delicious!

Exceptional Hospitality at Dcanal House in Mirissa. From the moment we arrived at the hotel, the staff Mr.Lahiru welcomed us warmly and made us feel like family. Every team member went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well cared for throughout our stay. The personalized attention, such as, remembering our names and offering tailored recommendations created a truly memorable experience. The rooms were spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and provided a cozy retreat after a busy day. Every detail reflected genuine care, and the thoughtful amenities. The atmosphere was peaceful and inviting, with a relaxing vibe that made it feel like a home away from home. What stood out most was the staff’s sincere willingness to help, their friendly attitude, and attentive service. They anticipated our needs before we even expressed them, ensuring every request was handled promptly. Their guidance on local attractions made our visit extra special. I highly recommend D canal house to anyone seeking a blend of luxurious comfort and heartfelt hospitality. This hotel sets a new standard for welcoming service and personal attention. Thank you for making our trip unforgettable! I would like to mention and give a shoutout to Mr.Lahiru, he's a great manager to manage and supervise the hotel and v v kind. Keep it up.

We had a good time at DCanal. The property is nicely decorated, is very clean and has a lovely pool and garden. To say the staff were great would be an understatement. They were very friendly and always checking if we needed anything. The buffet breakfast was lovely and freshly prepared every morning. My only critique of this property is it is a 15min walk to the town & beach but they do provide a free tuk tuk service from 10am to 7 pm. The beach bar pictures shown here are not on this property. Aside from breakfast there is no meals available at the property or around the property so you need to go to the town. There are only three rooms and three bungalows on the property so it is very relaxing and peaceful compared to the busy town centre. The property was surrounded by beautiful lush trees where you can watch lots monkeys and birds. Also a canal that runs along the property has water lizards, fish and birds you can watch as you enjoy breakfast.

Excellent hotel with extremely friendly and helpful staff. I spent two nights here and everything about the hotel was great. The room was clean and spacious with a large balcony. The breakfast was excellent and the swimming pool is lovely. The hotel is set in a mini oasis with plants and trees everywhere which are lit up a night. It’s about a 15 minute walk from the main road however the hotel provide a free Tuk tuk service to the main road until 7pm. I never felt unsafe walking back to the hotel at night and all the locals are very friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel and would like to say a big thank you to Pria and the rest of the staff who made me feel very welcome during my stay and also organised an early morning canal tour along the canal which backs onto the hotel where I saw a variety of birds as well as water monitors.

Peaceful stay in jungle-like surroundings

We stayed for five wonderful nights at D Canal House and had the feeling of living in the middle of the jungle. Every day, we relaxed in the nice and cozy pool area of the hotel while spotting exotic birds and other animals. The breakfast was really good, and the staff (Milan and Briaya) were absolutely fantastic. Their way of being contributed to making the overall experience absolutely perfect. In the evening, we could safely walk through the local area to Mirissa (15 minutes) to have dinner, but the hotel also offers free tuk-tuk service to the main road in Mirissa between 10 AM and 7 PM. We would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay in peaceful and jungle-like surroundings, yet still within walking distance to the city life and the beach in Mirissa.

My partner and I travelled from Australia with our 4 month old boy for our first family holiday. We can say that this accommodation was some of the best that we have experienced. The property itself is wonderful and really does feel like you are staying in someone’s home in all the right ways. It is away from all the main roads, is set well back off any street and is surrounded by lush gardens and a waterway. The only sounds you will hear are those of the wildlife and the rain falling on the roof. It is truly a very relaxed and lends itself to truly unwinding. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was good. The one thing that may put off some travellers is that it is about a 10min walk to the main restaurant areas however the hotel has offset this by providing a free shuttle service all day until 7pm. If you are staying longer than that out and about, it is around 300-400 LKR to get your own way home on a 5min Tuk Tuk trip. What truly sets this place apart is the staff. Milan and his colleagues would do absolutely anything and everything to make you stay as good as it can possibly be. I joked with my wife that I felt they would give me the shirt off their back or one of their kidneys if we needed it, such was their want and desire to do anything they could. If you are staying in Mirissa and if you want supremely good service in boutique accommodation, away from the hustle and bustle then don’t hesitate to book this place. Thankyou Milan and Team.

Lovely hotel in Mirissa

My girlfriend and I stayed at D Canal House for almost a week, and we are very satisfied. The hotel is secluded from the main street but offered free TukTuk to and from which was incredibly helpful. The place was quiet and peaceful in the evenings and nights. The hotel had a relaxing environment with lots of vegetation which the staff looked after well. All staff were extremely helpful. They helped with everything from transport bookings to excursions and even arranging packed breakfast if needed. Their knowledge of the area was extensive and they recommended local restaurants and places worth visiting. They were available for any questions. The rooms were nice and had all the amenities you needed. The breakfast was good and prepared from scratch. Everything felt genuine and they always wanted our best. We are very satisfied with our stay and the genuine experience. We would love to return to D Canal House!
