In this hotel, we spent only one night. They settled us in a family room, a few meters away from the main road (3500 rupies for a night, no AC). In front by the main road are older rooms, a little further down the garden is new complex, well maintained, clean, with a nice porch in the style of the... More

This place is what travelling is all about. Meeting friendly, like minded people and enjoying good things in life. Originally we were supposed to stay just for one or two nights. But we ended up spending four nights, enjoying the unbelievable hospitality of the family who runs the place. Owner Mr. Tissa goes above and beyond in taking care of... More

Don't rely on their guestbook, because they only allow the most satisfied customers to sign... The room with a fan was hot but clean (if you don't mind a single cockroach...) and not too expensive. White sheets and towels smelled good. We booked the 7 hour safari, and we were 3 people on the trip. Unfortunately, the jeep got stuck... More

We arrived during peak season and Hotel Tissa was one of the few options with availble rooms. We stayed in one of the newer rooms at the back of the hotel. At first sight the room looked OK, but that was it. The toilet was not clean, pubic hair on the sheets, turn of the AC and it started to... More

Very nice hotel rooms with hot water/fridge. We stayed back yard rooms away from the main building, very quiet. Hard working young gardener friend make sure the trees, plants well kept and clean outdoor area for the guests. Although rooms are bit expensive and the food may also expensive we liked this hotel so much. ( Not too many nice... More

Overall we were glad we chose hotel Tissa. The room was spacious and mr Tissa was very friendly but we really didn't fall in love with the place. The room was quite dirty with cobwebs everywhere, insects living in the bathroom and dodgy electrics. We know that this is Tissamaharama and not New York ciy but certain basics should be... More

We first wanted to stay one night but ended up staying one more. Hotel Tissa is a great choice for anyone arriving in Tissa with public transport (near bus station), a mid/low budget and in need of a knowledgeable host. The hotel offers clean rooms (three different price range), good Sri Lankan food and a welcoming atmosphere. Even if we... More

This is the best hotel I've been in Sri Lanka. It is not a luxury hotel, but the owner makes you feel like at home. We received a very warming welcome from the family running this hotel. They took care of us, like member of the family, they suggested, organized, and helped our trip in every possible way. Book the... More

LIKED BEST - The Service - FRIENDLY, WELCOMING & KNOWLEDGEABLE Mr Tissa was accommodating of our flexible but tight schedule and provided sound advice that was more customer focused than business/finance driven. We viewed all of the rooms (three pricing options) but stayed in one of the two rooms most expensive rooms with AC at the back of the hotel... More
