This place is located near the Lion Rock, the approach road is very bad. We were greeted with Welcome Drinks and got a room after 20 mins wait. The room was very tired, an uncomfortable bed and a dilapidated washroom which was very basic. No water pressure in the shower, absolute low quality toileteries and very dim lighting. Go to... More

Nice rooms, great gounds. Pool was ok and it seemed the majority of the staff were quite friendly courteous. The food at the buffet was quite good but the standard fare for this type of hotle in sri lanka and could have had a bit more flare for the price. Beer prices were reasonable at the bar but the spirits... More

The hotel lobby and grounds are really nice. The rooms were not bad, not great, i thought the food was quite good. Location is great close to the rock. Service is so so, my friend complained about a drink he ordered, could have been solved very easily instead they were stubborn about it, a better hotel would have known to... More

One Word " Wonderful"! Thats how I would rate the stay there. The staff were courteous enough. The ambience was inviting. The dining experience was good enough. The place was very neat and clean. The rooms were exquisite for the price and albeit for a slight issue with the hot water facility, the bathrooms were also pretty good. Great location... More

This is a great location if you intend to climb the rock as it is very close (which also gives you excellent views of it from the pool). Food was quite good, with most of the produce grown on site. Staff were also very friendly and helpful - one of the young chefs even cooked me some fresh pol (coconut)... More

Not the hotel I had requested from the local tour agent but as the tour price was already agreed it didn't matter to us that it was more expensive. An attractive base for visiting the Sigiriya rock fortress and a good place to relax afterwards. Comfortable rooms and pleasant buffet food, my group was favourably surprised. Great view of the...

I have very mixed feelings about this hotel. Parts of it look very good - the lobby is very posh, and the view of the rock from the dining room took my breath away. I understand some of the bungalows are quite nice too, there seem to be upgrades in the works. I was staying in an older bungalow/room that... More

Good location as many have stated. Good ambiance. Lot's of variety at the buffet, but the overall quality of the food was average (speaking as a sri-lankan). The rooms are spacious, but are not adequately appointed, a kettle would have been nice. The staff are polite but lack a bit of polish. The bartender was cordial and welcoming, infact far... More
