2 incredible nights as a young couple in Sigiryia
Pros:

Incredibly beautiful room and hotel. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to cater to all our needs. On top of all of that, the hotel is extremely well situated, only a 15 minute walk to the lion rock. A special thank you to our driver Madu, who was extremely friendly and also went above and beyond so that we had the best experience possible.

Un paradiso
Pros:

Il nostro soggiorno a “La Dolce Vita” è stato perfetto. La struttura è stupenda, completamente immersa nella natura e con una piscina molto bella, la camera è spaziosa, ben arredata e pulitissima, anche il bagno è molto grande soprattutto la doccia walk in che è enorme.
Il personale è super accogliente e disponibile, la cucina è ottima, abbiamo mangiato un creamy chicken delizioso contornato da un insalata pazzesca e anche la colazione è molto buona e abbondante.
Menzione particolare per la posizione, si può raggiungere la Lion’s Rock di Sigiriya in 10 minuti a piedi o 2 minuti col tuk tuk.

Hervorragend! Super schöner Aufenthalt….besser geht nicht
Pros:

In Bezug auf die 3.0 Bewertung! Ich und mein Sohn waren zur gleichen Zeit in der Unterkunft! Also wir haben den Aufenhalt genossen, das Personal war super freundlich und aufmerksam! Zimmer waren schön sauber und groß genug……und wurden auf Anfrage gereinigt! Und wegen Ameisen sich zu beschweren, in Sri Lanka, Sigiriya inmitten einer grünen Oase, finden wir jetzt ein wenig überzogen! Wir sagen Danke!!!!

Sigiriya stay
Pros:

Warm friendly staff and lots of staff keeping the grounds clean. Pool was a beautiful centrepiece where rooms looked out to it, and that too was kept crystal clear.
Room was a generous size for 2xA & 1C with a queen and single beds.
Very hot water, and close to both rocks and a nice stroll to some local shops and restaurants.

Room was also very clean with nice big bath and pool towels.

Very peaceful and enjoyed our 1 night stay.
Breakfast was 👍

Pros:

This is a cute little place, with friendly staff and good food. The location is excellent, being a short drive to Sigiriya which helped given we climbed at 6am.

Cons:

I travelled with my elderly parents and they said their room and bathroom weren't completely clean. I didn't see it myself so can't comment, but just passing it on as feedback to the property. I really enjoyed my stay.

Perfekte Lage für Sigirya
Pros:

Super freundlicher Service, wir konnten unser Tuktuk in der Unterkunft parken. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet und das Hotel hat uns eine Safari gebucht (sehr empfehlenswert). Pool war auch super. Kommen gerne wieder! 🤩

Pros:

The hotel is like a mini botanical garden with a swiimming lool in the middle of it, and very friendly staff. It's perfect for people who want to visit the Lion rock and Sigiriya in general

Cons:

The room was not the cleanest. The bathroom also had a lot of ants coming from a hole in the ceiling and one of the lights in the room was not working.

Pros:

Gute Lage zur Besichtigung des Lion Rock, leckeres Essen.

Cons:

Anlage steht bei starkem Regen schnell unter Wasser. Sehr viele Inseken in den Zimmern. Ganze Ameisenstraßen an der Decke. Das Personal behandelt mit Gift, sodass bei uns immer tote Insekten von der Decke gefallen sind und morgens auf unseren Bettdecken lagen. Hat leider dazu geführt, dass wir uns nicht so wohl gefühlt haben.
