Pros:

Amazing view of overlooking rice fields to Sigiriya Lion rock especially at sunset from outside hotel, pool, or top floor room with balcony! Extraordinary! Very clean and well kept room, garden and pool area. Quiet area. Very friendly and kind staff who are welcoming and accomodating.

Cons:

About a 10 min walk to hotel from Main Street and it is very dark so be aware if walking solo. Recommend taking a tuktuk for little spend.

Pros:

Personnel super gentil. Très aidant, nous ont arrangé les chauffeurs et activités pour la journée et le départ, et ça s'est passé niquel.
Aussi, la vue sur le rocher est super sympa.
Et la piscine très chouette.

Cons:

L'emplacement peut paraître un peu excentré, cependant Sigiriya n'a pas vraiment de centre ville, donc vous ne ratez absolument rien à ce niveau. Il faut juste un peu marcher pour les restos, ou prendre un tuktuk.

Pros:

Everything about our stay was exceptional, thanks to Sujee and Faye. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! They were very warm, attentive, and full of good humor. Their friendliness and genuine care made the experience special.

The swimming pool was another highlight—spotlessly clean and incredibly refreshing after a both climbs

Glad we chose to stay here 2 nights.

Darker blind in our room perhaps.

Pros:

Thankyou to the staff. Really friendly and accommodating. Provided us 3 rooms on the top floor complimentary. The views of Sigirya with the paddy fields below is iconic. The cute freindly doggo roaming around was also so nice.

Cons:

Just a few broken things in the room that will need attending to as explained. However the place and location is exceptional for what you get.
