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.

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!

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was very comfortable and the staff were so attentive. The free TukTuk service to the main junction was a really nice touch.

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.

Everything! The hotel is set back from the main hustle and bustle of Mirissa beach road which was ideal. Tuk tuks provided daily to a central location to access all the restaurants and the main beach. The manager when we arrived explained everything to us in such detail including recommendations and all the excursions we could do. Laundry service was an added touch & the rooms were huge, beautifully decadent, spacious with all the amenities you could need, a lovely family style buffet breakfast is provided for a very small charge. The whole team were lovely and helpful, answering any questions- would return in a heartbeat, also a great pool area to relax if the beach is too hectic
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

As an accommodation, it is honestly difficult to give any negative feedback. Everything has clearly been well thought through. The staff are exceptionally helpful, friendly, and truly create a personal experience for each guest. Small details such as the pool area being open until 10 PM, hand sanitizers and even earplugs in the rooms (as the birds can be quite lively), the complimentary tuk-tuk service, and the homemade jams at breakfast all made the stay feel very unique and special. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, even though the hotel itself only serves an evening meal. Refreshments like water, beer, and soft drinks are always available, which is a nice touch. If I could suggest one small addition, it would be offering cocktails during the daytime (for example between 11 AM and 3 PM), as currently the only alcohol options are beer or wine brought by guests. Overall, a wonderful and memorable experience.

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

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!

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.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

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.

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!

6/10 Good

Some pluses, some minuses

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Willing to make any arrangements we needed, which was super helpful. Away from the beach which was nice and quiet. Free tuktuk use to the junction was a bonus. Swimming pool was like a hot tub- not at all refreshing - rather just for getting wet then getting out before overheating so that the breeze could cool us off. Room was massive. Bed was comfortable - loved the mossie net around the bed. Room did not get made up or cleaned during our two night stay. Towels were a bit smelly once they were used. Curtains across the doors and windows were badly hung (? Falling off) making them very very hard to open, so gave up. Lighting in the rooms is horrible to actually try and see by, would probably call them romantically dim. Shower was great. Breakfast was a good selection. Lovely garden.
