The Grand Yala Hotel

The rooms are enormous. The bathroom as well. Had air conditioning and tv. The rooms were clean and bathroom. Lovely lush gardens and swimming pool was inviting but I didn’t get chance to have a dip.
Staff were attentive and lovely

Organised an amazing safari for us to Yala and provided breakfast! Lovely pool and let us have a late check out.

Nice and big swimming-pool, friendly and welcoming staff, big room/bathroom, delicious hearty breakfast. We only stopped in Tissa because we were with our tuktuk (no safari) but the area with the lakes is very nice.
As the room is very big, some additional furniture like a chair would be a good idea!

The pool was great.

Wonderful property and hosts, pool was well maintained, rooms were big and spacious.

Breakfast was good, they specially considered our request for a vegetarian breakfast.

Also helped us with safari booking at a reasonable price.

Fräscha och rymliga rum. Trevligt med pool precis utanför boendet. Hjälpsam personal. Bra läge för safari i Yala.

Our stay at Grand Yala Hotel was truly exceptional. The property is luxurious, beautifully maintained, and offers a very premium experience. The rooms were extremely spacious, featuring comfortable double beds and fully functional air conditioning. We also spent a wonderful time with our family at the swimming pool, which was very clean and well maintained.

The breakfast was outstanding, with a delicious spread of Sri Lankan cuisine that exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly supportive, friendly, and always ready to help. As we were visiting from India during the Holi festival, we requested if we could play a little color, and the team kindly agreed—it was a thoughtful gesture that made our stay even more special.

Thank you, Grand Yala Hotel, for such a memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Old hotel with swimming pool.
They packed a very good breakfast from my private safari.

Loved the calm of the place .. the room was fab & the staff could not do enough for you .. we only stopped 1 night to do safari but could easily have stopped longer .. tranquil setting & the staff were fabulous.. they packed us breakfast for safari & brought us coffee at 0430 !! . 10/10 for everything .. highly recommend .. thank you to you all at Grand Yala .. you were great x

Great place to stay and kids all loved the pool. Went on a Yala safari tour on our stay & they had our breakfast packed and ready for us. Great staff and delicious food.

Personál byl velmi vstřícný, ubytování na místní poměry velmi čisté a dobře vybavené. Jídlo je zde trochu dražší, ale výborné. Zaplatili jsme si safary, které bylo úžasné na cestu jsme dostali snídaňový balíček. Doporučuji.

Excellent stay 10/10. Really nice host and staff , they made our stay perfect and arranged everything we needed. Really nice pool for afternoon activities.

Friendly staff, great breakfast, accommodating people

The pool was excellent, and the room was very clean and comfortable. We stayed in the triple room and had everything we needed. Breakfast was included and was perfect.
The staff were so lovely, and even took us to the kitchen to show us the deer that comes in the morning ever day to collect some breakfast.

Great base from which we did a Yala safari which was booked through the hotel and which was exceptional.
The room was clean comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of hot water.
We only ate breakfast (which was excellent )at the property during our stay so can't comment on other meals.
We did a couple of walks around the locality and into Tiss via the back roads, flat, easy and excellent way to see local life in the raw.
The staff were excellent and so friendly.

Great hospitality and friendly staff.
We started our safari 5:30 am but still got out morning coffee! Thanks a lot

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel! Breakfast and dinner options are great and the food was delicious.

The hotel is very well placed to reach Yala national park for early safaris, and walking distance to the nearby lakes to catch the sunset and wander around.
