Everything was great — I would choose this hotel again.

The location of the property was very convenient; it was within walking distance to the center. It has a beautiful view overlooking Lion Rock. The staff were very friendly.

Friendly staff and amazing view

Very nice staff, service and breakfast. Highlights was undoubtedly the terrace with a view on Lions Rock. They hand out bicycles for free which is very handy to get around.

This place was surrounded by natural beauty and very peaceful. The staff were extremely hands on and helpful. They served an excellent breakfast on the top floor where you good clearly view Sigiriya rock and watch the squirrels running around. It's a 35 min walk to Sigiriya rock. Highly recommend this scenic place if you want a calm place.

This place really exceeded my expectations. My room was huge with a large bathroom and my own private balcony. Lots of windows and light but the overhead fan kept iit cool enough that I didnt even need to turn on the air conditioner. The staff was so helpful and accommodating. The host arranged for me to have a safari guide who was knowledgeable about birds in addition.to the other animals in the park. He was also very responsive to my request not to crowd the elephants. We didnt, and ended up seeing one anyway with no other jeeps in sight.

Good value, simple accommodation with easy access to lion rock and a great view.

In terms of value this was a good choice. Simple budget hotel I would say. Being in a jungle environment I would expect mosquito nets, told they didn’t have them as they had something that kept them away, we had about 5 in our room, but we came up with elaborate ways to mount them with no damage caused. It was fine, I would use again for a single night stay.
