UN HOTEL PARA REPETIR
Pros:

No hemos podido elegir mejor hotel para nuestra estancia en Tissamaharama: habitación grande, totalmente reformada e impoluta, camas comodísimas, ducha con mampara, 2 toallas por persona (1 pequeña y otra grande, cuando normalmente en todos los hoteles de Sri Lanka nos han puesto solo una grande), piscina grande y muy limpia, hamacas, sombrillas, toallas para la piscina… y no podemos olvidar a su personal: cordiales, amables, serviciales y siempre dispuestos a ayudar. Te ofrecen también limpieza diaria de la habitación que, en nuestro caso, al ser solo 2 noches, no fue necesaria. Cabe mencionar también el servicio de restauración, ya que ofrecen unos platos muy ricos a precios inmejorables. En definitiva, un hotel para repetir!!!

Cons:

La única pega que le pondría, es que queda un poco alejado del centro de la ciudad, pero no es nada que un tuk tuk, a un módico precio de 2 € por trayecto, no pueda solucionar.

Il miglior soggiorno in Sri Lanka!
Pros:

Bellissima struttura sulla riva di un fiume, in una posizione ottima per il safari a Yala. Pulizia impeccabile, personale estremamente cordiale, simpatico e disponibile. Cena e drink fantastici, ho amato il loro succo al lime! Personalmente, il miglior hotel in cui ho soggiornato in Sri Lanka!

Cons:

Nulla, tutto perfetto!

Freundliches Personal, gutes Essen und ideale Lage für eine Safari in den Yala-Nationalpark
Pros:

Tolle Unterkunft, die sich hervorragend als Ausgangspunkt für eine Safari im Yala-Nationalpark eignet. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend.

Auch das Essen hat uns gut geschmeckt. Insgesamt hatten wir einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt und können die Unterkunft gerne weiterempfehlen.

A stop off touring Sri Lanka
Pros:

I thought the hotel was a very comfortable and well designed place. The early morning take away breakfast was excellent as we were up and out early to go to the national park.
The staff were very helpful and attentive.
The food was excellent.

Cons:

Being on the 2nd floor. As there were not many occupants i would have liked to be nearer the ground floor.

Nos gustó mucho nuestra estancia. El hotel es muy bonito, limpio y cómodo. Nos sentimos como en casa desde el primer momento. La habitación era amplia y tranquila, ideal para descansar después de las excursiones. El personal fue excepcional, siempre atento, amable y dispuesto a ayudar en todo momento. Queremos destacar especialmente a Champalca, que nos trató de maravilla y hizo que nuestra experiencia fuera aún mejor. Sin duda, un lugar totalmente recomendable.

Amazing place
Pros:

We had a perfect stay. Arrived early from airport and could luckily check in earlier. In the the afternoon we went on the safari ride organized from the Hotel. He was really amazing and his best to show us as much as possible. Back at the Hotel we had an amazing dinner with the best service we saw on our whole journey. Thanks Champaka you do an amazing job. The hotel was spotless clean and the rooms are beautiful. I would definitely recommend this Hotel.
