Pros:

Comfortable triple room in a small hotel in Sigiriya. The location is convenient, 2 mins' walk to restaurants and around 20 minutes' walk to the entrance to Lion Rock. The breakfast was great (including the packed breakfast for our day in Polonnaruwa), the pool was nice, and the staff were helpful at organising transport and advising us on the best times to visit sights.

Cons:

Everything was great.

Pros:

Staff were fantastic throughout, tending to our every need and serving up lovely meals. The pool was luxurious and the surrounding gardens a slice of paradise... It wasn't uncommon to have monkeys and chameleons overhead, while the children played with the resident kitten and bunny. Otherwise it was wonderfully central to a variety of stalls and restaurants, and local village tours or Lion Rock within 5min by tuktuk. Even with the crazy storm we experienced while staying there, we couldn't be perturbed

Cons:

Having to leave

Bad smell from the bathroom.

Exceptionally friendly staff in a relaxed easy property. It’s not fancy but what it does it does well. I would stay agai
Pros:

The location is great. Can walk to some lovely restaurants for dinner, as well as espresso bar on corner. Two good restaurants next door. Only minutes to the rock. The boys that work there are exceptionally friendly and engaging. Genuine care and smiles. The rooms are large and shower has good pressure etc. fridge in room. Amazing breakfast and each day. Enough sun lounges by the pool which is constantly cleaned.

Cons:

I was upstairs and loved the view and the privacy however things falling on the roof in the wind or monkeys perhaps jumping on roof woke me sharply. If a light sleeper perhaps pick downstairs or pack good earplugs. Wifi was spotty (to be expected I guess). The rooms do not have a TV. Again doesn’t worry me. I like music and reading and up early for activities. Just a note for some.

Lovely place but overpriced
Pros:

This hotel is in a quiet area within easy walking distance of cafes and shops. We walked to lions Rock. The grounds are gorgeous and the staff are delightful. There is a friendly bunny in the yard.

Cons:

The room is painted all black so natural light is minimal. The artificial lighting is garish to the point that we preferred no lights at all. The air conditioner was loud so we found it hard to sleep. The hotel is overpriced for these reasons.

Loved this property with great pool and staff!
Pros:

We absolutely loved this property! We had a room which shared a private pool with only 3 other rooms and usually we had it to ourselves. The room was very spa ious and the staff were great, serving a lovely breakfast. We appreciated walking to nearby restaurants for dinner, especially La Dolce Vita where we ate twice.

Cons:

The room could have had more lounge furniture but we enjoyed using the sofa by the pool and the outdoor lounge chairs.

Insgesamt können wir die Unterkunft aber wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Die Lage ist ideal, um Sigiriya und die Umgebung zu
Pros:

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Gastgeber und Mitarbeiter waren ausgesprochen gastfreundlich, herzlich und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer sind groß und geräumig, und die gesamte Anlage ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Man merkt, dass sich alle sehr bemühen, die Anlage in einem tollen Zustand zu halten.

Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich und sehr lecker, sodass für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei war.

Cons:

Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt: Die Haustür ließ sich leider nicht richtig schließen und die Zimmer waren teilweise etwas hellhörig.
