“Excellent value for money”
We were a bit dubious when booking this hotel, due to the low price, but it far exceeded our expectations! Some building work going on at the front meant you walked through the carpark to Reception, which was a bit odd. Noise from construction didn't disturb us at all. The room was fresh, clean with good ac, shower, kettle, tv and comfy bed. Big shout out to the member of staff who looked out for us at breakfast. Don't think they had many Westerners staying, so breakfast was 'interesting!' If you're looking for a place to stay to do the Crocodile Safari, it's perfect, just a short walk. We actually saw a 5m Crocodile on our boat ride, in the river, opposite the hotel!! 🐊

I recently stayed at Grand Rockland in Matara, Sri Lanka, and it was great. The location is excellent, and the hotel is very well maintained. It’s perfect if you enjoy social and party vibes. Our room was wonderful, especially the private outdoor garden. The staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome. I also liked the antiques displayed around the hotel. The restaurant offered a range of tasty options, including Sri Lankan, Chinese, and Indian dishes, as well as delicious pastries. The night atmosphere was calm and relaxing. One of the best parts was the boat ride arranged by the hotel. We saw crocodiles, birds, and beautiful islands in the river. Overall, I had a great stay at Grand Rockland and would definitely recommend it.

“Fantastic Stay”
I had a fantastic experience at Grand Rockland Hotel. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the room was spotless and comfortable. Perfectly located near major attractions, it’s an ideal spot for both relaxation and exploring the city. With in 2KM radius from Matara Bus stand. Value for the money. Safe parking inside the hotel. Highly recommend!

No fans in the lobby, Super hot. Waited 5 hours for a portable fan, and guess what, We didn't get it.
