“Clean and comfortable, close to the city and lake. Helpful staff 🫶”
Serenity Tissa is in the perfect location of Tissa! It is located in a quiet street next to the main street. Walking distance to the lake and temple, but many tuk tuks availble through PickMe, if too hot for the walk. Also hotel can help with the transport needed for the sightseeing. The staff was superfriendly and help me with organising trip to Kataragama, Safari and my further travels to downsouth. Hotel is very nice with the wooden interior which can remind of both British and Dutch architecture back in the days. Breakfast is a mix of western and Sri Lankan😇 The hotel has a clean pool with sunbeds and pool towels😍 I also used their gym once, it has all the equipment needed for a lowkey gym session when travelling (obs, gym has no aircon). I would recommend solo travellers, friend groups and family to stay at Serenity Tissa.

“Very nice hotel in an excellent location.”
The rooms were very spacious and clean with nice bathrooms. Comfortable beds. Breakfast was packed for us to take on the very early safari. We had dinner at the hotel one night and it was very good. The pool was excellent, large and very clean. Also enjoyed the garden setting. The staff were wonderful and attended to every need. Excellent location.

“Great cozy hotel,recommended”
We loved everything there- the stuff,the food,how clean it was. All the stuff in the hotel is just perfect- pay lot of attention,taking care about you all the time and all the time smile to you. They making a great atmosphere there. The food was so tasty and the prices are ok. The breakfast was great served and tasty. We have eaten only here at the hotel all the time because there are any good restaurant in the town. The room was clean.It must not be luxury,it must be friendly and clean. There is a gym in the hotel and I was so much happy about that.Small but very fine gym. The bed cozy and we slept so good. The manager helped us to organise a safari tour for very fear price.
