Adequate for 1 night but some things lacking
Pros:

The location of the hotel was excellent. The room was adequate for 1 night. The owner of the hotel was very helpful in organising an elephant safari to Hurulu Eco Park. Decent value for money.

Cons:

There was one staff member who was not proficient in their job. They didn't seem to know basic information about Sigiriya like its opening hours and said they needed to ask their boss. The water also went out during our stay and when it was turned back on, the sink was giving dirty brown water which we assumed was rainwater. The breakfast was poor. The food took too long to arrive and when it did eventually come, it was cold and unpleasant to eat.
