Pros:

Celebrated my dad’s 70th and the staff were so lovely from the moment we arrived till the moment we left. From room decor, to just friendly faces at reception to the lovely singer whilst we had our dinner. It was a very peaceful stay and so close to Sigiriya! Would love to come back.

Thank you Wimoktha and Sandhu
Pros:

This place is in incredible, made even better by exceptional staff. From the moment you check-in which is an experience I'm itselt we were made to feel extremely welcome. In particular both Wimoktha and Sandhu made out visit exceptional. They gave us so much information and were some generous and warm. We've met alot of people on our trip in Sri Lanka and these remain our favourite. They are both really incredible at their jobs. We also loved the swimming pool, and breakfast.

Cons:

Sound proofing on the windows could be improved, only minor criticism.

Pleasant but a bit disappointing.
Pros:

Great location close to main hiking rocks, also walking distance from local restaurants. Nice to have a pool. Nice bar area. Breakfast had a good selection. Staff helpful in ordering early morning tuk tuk's for sunrise hikes. Nice pool area and sun loungers.

Cons:

Points that could be adjusted for a better guest experience. Rooms all need updating and repainting, lots of stains on the walls. Old sheets with rips and ratty towels. Bathrooms need updating and thoroughly cleaning. Black mould on grouting in bathroom and on wall near aircon unit. Bed was two singles made into a double, but kept moving apart. Lots of flies all over the breakfast, I know you can't avoid flies but it could be covered a lot better particularly the pastries and fruit which were inedible due to the amount of flies all over them. Lots of things on the menu not available, e.g. wines, certain cocktails/spirits and food on the menu (no lettuce for salad). Staff lighting bonfires in the gardens next to the pool when guests using the pool area so is very smokey and breathing in smoke.

Un’ottima base per visitare la Lion Rock, immersa nel verde
Pros:

Ci siamo trovati bene in questa struttura, soprattutto per l’ottima posizione, perfetta per visitare la Lion Rock. Nei dintorni dell’hotel si trovano comodamente negozietti, supermercati e diversi centri dove fare massaggi ayurvedici: ne abbiamo provato uno proprio nelle vicinanze e ci siamo trovati molto bene.

Avevamo scelto la mezza pensione, con colazione e cena incluse. La colazione era buona, mentre la cena a buffet è stata particolarmente piacevole, con una buona scelta e molto pesce preparato alla griglia. La cena all’aperto, accompagnata dalla musica dal vivo, rendeva l’atmosfera molto piacevole.

La struttura dispone anche di una bella piscina, circondata dal verde e frequentata persino da alcune simpatiche scimmie. I lettini erano liberamente disponibili e il servizio bar è stato ottimo: abbiamo provato due cocktail, entrambi molto buoni.

La camera era nel complesso confortevole e dotata di tutti i principali comfort, tra cui aria condizionata, ventilatore e frigorifero. Molto interessante anche la possibilità di acquistare un’esperienza extra in realtà aumentata che permette di vedere come doveva apparire la Rocca del Leone in passato: un’idea originale e divertente, che aiuta anche a immaginare meglio ciò che si vedrà durante la visita.

Cons:

La camera era forse un po’ buia e il bagno avrebbe potuto essere più pulito, soprattutto per quanto riguarda il pavimento. Abbiamo inoltre sentito la mancanza di una zanzariera, che in una zona come questa sarebbe stata sicuramente utile. Gli asciugamani tutti sgualciti.

Per il resto, il soggiorno è stato piacevole e la struttura ha rappresentato un’ottima base per visitare la zona di Sigiriya.

Very restful spot in a good location
Pros:

Nice airy reception and restaurant area with a lovely pool at the back of the property. Lovely friendly staff and all amenities as stated.

Cons:

I would probably ask for a room away from the road at the back by the pool but that’s because we like it quiet. The rooms were well sound proofed though Thank you
