“2 incredible nights as a young couple in Sigiryia”
Incredibly beautiful room and hotel. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to cater to all our needs. On top of all of that, the hotel is extremely well situated, only a 15 minute walk to the lion rock. A special thank you to our driver Madu, who was extremely friendly and also went above and beyond so that we had the best experience possible.

“Sigiriya stay”
Warm friendly staff and lots of staff keeping the grounds clean. Pool was a beautiful centrepiece where rooms looked out to it, and that too was kept crystal clear. Room was a generous size for 2xA & 1C with a queen and single beds. Very hot water, and close to both rocks and a nice stroll to some local shops and restaurants. Room was also very clean with nice big bath and pool towels. Very peaceful and enjoyed our 1 night stay. Breakfast was 👍

This is a cute little place, with friendly staff and good food. The location is excellent, being a short drive to Sigiriya which helped given we climbed at 6am.

The hotel is like a mini botanical garden with a swiimming lool in the middle of it, and very friendly staff. It's perfect for people who want to visit the Lion rock and Sigiriya in general

“Unforgettable”
Our experience at the hotel was incredible. All the staff were fantastic, always attentive to what we needed. The cleanliness of the entire complex was impeccable. We especially want to highlight Sala, the manager, who helped us with everything, always with a smile. Also, Madu, our driver, and Sanka, the tuk-tuk driver, made every outing perfect. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay unforgettable!

“Small place, no privacy as you could hear everything that was going on next door. Having breakfast at 7.30 and there was”
Bit of a building site. Trying to have your breakfast at 7.30 with major drilling happening. No room cleaning provided which meant there were ants everywhere

We absolutely loved this place. The location is good, once you step inside it’s a tranquil oasis. The room is good with great ac and a very large bathroom. The gardens are very well maintained and the pool is a real bonus after a hot day out. Staff are super friendly and the breakfast was delicious and huge! We wished we could have stayed longer.

“10/10 place, heavy recommend”
Absolutly clean and nice place. We love the pool and restaurant area, as well the little terrace in front of the room. There are many plants and trees. It is close to the nice places and still quiet and relaxing. The staff (a few young men) is very friendly and will help you with any questions you have. The food is delicious. We absolutely recommend this place! They even have a cleaned A/C.

“Great staff and very beautiful location with tasty food - absolutely recommendable!”
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Every request or wish we had was immediately fulfilled. They als arranged a very good elephant safari for us. The associated restaurant was very good as well, which is great, so you don’t have to leave for dinner (eg when it’s raining). Breakfast‘s also good, you can choose between porridge or toast+eggs+pancake, both comes with fruit and tea/coffee.
