A simple, enjoyable stay with everything I needed & Good value, friendly staff, and a relaxing visit

I had a really nice stay at Saranga hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm (Specially Janith), welcoming, and quick to help with anything I needed. The check-in process was smooth, and they explained everything clearly. My room was clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. The bed was soft and made for a great night’s sleep, and the air conditioning worked perfectly without being too loud. The bathroom was also clean, with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The hotel itself was quiet and felt safe, which I really appreciated. Housekeeping did a great job each day, and stocked with fresh towels. Another plus was the location—it was close to shops, restaurants, and whatever I needed during my stay. It made getting around super convenient. The breakfast offered a wide variety of fresh options. Overall, this hotel delivered a very pleasant experience. It’s not overly fancy, but it’s comfortable, clean, and the staff really care about their guests. I’d definitely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to stay. And Overall, a fantastic stay. Highly recommended!

My family had a good time at Saranga Hotel and enjoyed the trip

Located in Wellawaya town and easy to access many beautiful places within half an hour especially Ella. The food was good, and we enjoyed tasty local dishes.

My stay over there at Saranga Holiday Inn was fantastic. They offered me a great seevice since from my arrival. Staff was really friendly and rooms, bathrooms were throughly cleaned. They provided us with towels and water bottles free of charge. Their wifi speed is also really amazing. Really close to Wellawaya city (walking distance) and this place is very convenient for travellers to spend the night. There were some mosquitos but they provided mosquito nets and also staff provided us a mosquito repellent vaporizer. Will visit again if I visit to Wellawaya again and i would recommend this place to anyone.

If you not expecting not very high you can stay

everything is very simple and can feel old, but the owners are very helpful

Would avoid unless working on a research into alcoholism of truck drivers.

Honestly for tourists avoid this place. It’s more of a truck drivers’ motel with a gloomy bar. I am really wondering how it got so many positive reviews. The bed sheets are clearly not clean (stains, hairs and holes) the overall room isn’t cleaner either, only shower had an acceptable level of cleanliness but no hot water… The room’s wall were covered in humidity and you could smell it… Breakfast which was supposed to be starting 8:00am was not before an other half an hour.

The host was an amicable person, always with a smile. He provided us with a sumptuous dinner which was home cooked. The location is right close to the main road. Natural surroundings.

There was a power outage when we arrived which lasted for several hours. The host was very helpful, called a restaurant for us, provided candles and gave us a huge discount.
