The staff were so amazing and accommodating. They were so kind and helpful. Definitely would highly recommend if you will visit Sigiriya. We really feel at home, and they instantly feel like a family.

The rooms were massive, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely.

“Super comfortable, lovely pool, excellent location for local sights. Really good breakfast too.”

I loved the property. Everything was immaculately clean. The room was large and the bed was so comfortable. The air conditioning was really good, the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka.

“Very enjoyable stay!”

Very clean and modern. Staff were kind and helpful. Excellent A/C and not too far from town centres.

“Perfect short stay”

Location is perfect to visit near Sigiriya and the stuff are super welcoming. I forgot some of my stuff at the hotel they were kind enough to ship it to me. They helped us to get a safari trip from the hotel. It was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this place.

“Adventure”

The property is in a great location in Sigiriya. Close to the lions rock and plenty of restaurants. Bernard looked after us throughout our stay, from welcoming us in and making us feel comfortable. The air con in the rooms was great, especially after a hot day in the sun. The pool is lovely and the breakfast was delicious. I would recommend staying here for your travels to Sigiriya.

Wow, perfect accomodation. The rooms, the pool, the location, the food, the price and most of all the staff are all superb. If you are thinking of staying in the Sigiriya area then stay here. We had a top floor room next to the pool, perfect. As well as the main sites we also did a late afternoon tuk tuk tour around the area every day with Nimesh which was great, saw elephants by the roadside. Thanks to Bernard the manager for a great stay.

“Really peaceful escape”

We just loved the resort feel with the swimming pool and adjoining open spaces. The food was excellent and the staff very helpful. Bernard the manager was very helpful in guiding us with transport and sightseeing.

“Great spot to relax”

The room was very large and had a desk, table and chairs. The pool was big enough to do short lengths in. The room was very clean and felt almost brand new. The breakfast was varied each morning. We ate there all 3 nights and the 7 curries was cooked from scratch and delicious. The chef was a lovely person and we also really liked the manager.

The staff were so friendly and polite. The room was amazing and very clean

“We were only here for one night to climb lions rock but it was a perfect place to stay”

Everything about the property was perfect

“Absolutely amazing stay, would definitely come again!”

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Lion Gate Hotel. I want to start foremost by saying that the customer service and friendliness of Bernard the manager was first class. There was some issue with our booking but he made sure we were accommodated, taking our needs into consideration and always kept in checking in on us. If everyone was like Bernard the world would be a better place! The staff here have a mix of languages and can cater to Tamil, Sinhala and English. We also had the pleasure of eating at the restaurant where we had both dinner and breakfast. I would recommend the chicken Kothu, perfectly balanced spice and very tasty. The chef was extremely nice aswell, he could cater to your specific needs with any type of food and always had a smile on his face. If you have some time to relax definitely check out Ayurveda Isiwara Paura Spa which is only a 6min drive away, probably one of the best massages I’ve had. We stayed in the newly built family rooms and they were absolutely spotless and had every facility. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel if you are in Sigiriya.

“A gem in Sigiriya!”

Everything! What a place! From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel so welcome and couldn’t do enough for us. The rooms are large, modern and with excellent air con for the hot nights. The food (both breakfast and dinner) are incredible. The pool is lovely and the whole complex is so clean. But staff are what stand out here - our host and all staff were excellent. Even though we checked out at a different time due to a change in our itinerary, the host still only charged us for the nights we stayed. I thought this was just so kind. I would recommend for anyone staying in Sigiriya to stay here!

“Great place to base yourself for exploring Sigiriya”

The hotel is brand new and only has a few rooms so is peaceful. The owner was very helpful in arranging a driver to take us to our next hotel. Very good Sri Lankan breakfast with egg hoppers made fresh in front of you.
