empfehlenswert!
Pros:

sehr hilfsbereites, liebes und freundliches Personal, sauber, gute Lage, gutes Frühstück, Personal organisiert alles wie zum Beispiel eine Safari (die war extrem toll & der Fahrer äußerst freundlich) oder die Tuktuk Fahrten. Ein Mitarbeiter hat uns vom Flughafen abgeholt und auch zur nächsten Unterkunft gebracht die weiter weg ist, dafür sind wir äußerst dankbar, das ist nicht selbstverständlich. Durch die vielen Pflanzen beim Hotel besuchen verschiedenste Tiere wie Eichhörnchen, Streifenhörnchen und tropische Vögel die Bäume. Das hat uns gut gefallen.

Cons:

alles gut

A special place to stay, very near main attractions.
Pros:

Lovely peaceful stay in a large, well equipped room. Location next to the pool with a large private patio area meant a swim and sunbathe were a few steps from the bed. Food was well cooked and plentiful. Staff unfailingly helpful and jolly. The Sigiriya Rock is a 20 minute walk/2 minute Tuk Tuk ride away and is highly recommended.

Cons:

Only thing to watch is the floors in the pool bungalows, which are very slippery. Watch your step!

Très bel hôtel à deux pas de Lion Rock
Pros:

L’emplacement est génial, on y voit pleins de petits animaux, singes, chauve souris, oiseaux, caméléon…L’hôtel dispose de deux piscines, dont une juste devant notre logement, c’était top !
Le personnel a été aux petits soins, les petits déjeuners étaient bons et variés.

Cons:

Il y a des odeurs d’égout dans les sanitaires et la douche était à peine assez chaude mais j’ai l’impression que c’est un problème général au Sri Lanka.

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

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.
