“Friendly and attentive staff, Clean rooms and delicious food.”
This was our 2nd visit to Livinya. Friendly and attentive staff who always went one step further to make our stay a comfortable experience. Delicious food and catered for our requirement. We were served a special dinner from the hotel to celebrate mum's birthday. Starting from the security staff to Hotel Manager, everyone made sure to give us the best experience. Room were exceptionally clean along with other amenities. The hotel is really close to the religious places as well.

“A perfect place at Katharagama with family and a place with a pool.”
The location is excellent, and the rooms are very family-friendly with two big beds, which made our stay comfortable. We arrived late at night, so we couldn’t spend as much time as we wished, but it was still a nice experience.

“A Fine Stay”
The room was spacious and clean. The shower was excellent and the bed was comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was great to have the pool to cool off in the afternoon. The hotel is in a convenient location near the temple and a grocery store. The Sri Lankan breakfast was exceptional. Highly recommended.
