8/10 Very good
19 Sept 2024
Hotel in the jungle with a rustic charm. Room was good with a comfortable bed. Lots of ants in the room initially but I suppose being in the jungle that’s to be expected! Restaurant food was plentiful and delicious. We stayed three nights and we didn’t get bored as there was a good varied choice -buffet or the a la cart menu-. Pool towels available and the attendant keeps the pool side nice a clean, especially with his endless battle with cleaning fallen leaves up. Bar staff were very friendly but service was a little slow/relaxed with long waits for drinks being served at times. We had an excellent stay here it’s within walking distance to Sigiriya Rock which we did late afternoon. I would recommend doing Pidurangala rock for sunrise get a tuk tuk there (hotel will organise if you ask) as it’s extremely dark and a good walk for that time in the morning. We also hired a driver for the day who took us to Polonnaruwa temple ruins and Minneriya National Park where we hired a vehicle for the elephant safari (long, hot day but well worth it) Dambulla cave temples are also a must do. We found Hotel Sigiriya a good choice location wise for doing everything we wanted to do in the area. Thank you
