Hotels Near Ibbankatuwa Megalithic Tombs in Dambulla

The hotel is right next to the cave temple and you can walk past it, which is very convenient. The hotel can report to Lion Rock for a group tour, or charter a car to Lion Rock, and then go to the ancient city. The price is billed in US dollars.

Surprise, recommended. It has its own lake and a huge lawn. When you wake up in the morning, the lakeside is filled with mist, and the sun shines through the big trees into the restaurant. It feels so comfortable. The breakfast is also very rich, recommended.

Good hotel overall. Rooms were nice looking and all electronics worked properly. Staff is very friendly and the food is of good quality and variety. Make sure you bring the exact amount of money for paying your drinks however because change seems to always be taken as tip by the waiter. Unless you don’t mind him taking the change as tip, we didn’t mind it too much since it was little but still weird they didn’t ask if it was okay. Be prepared for a lot of insects, they’re everywhere. We had at least 20 insects entering our room even tho we tried to block any gaps in the windows / doors with towels and anything we could find. If you hate bugs it’s best to avoid.

This was our first experience at Occidental Paradis, and it was truly memorable. The hotel is surrounded by shady trees and offers a calm, peaceful environment. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, making it a perfect retreat. A special thanks to my friend Nisheda for recommending this. Our check-in was handled by Dasunika, who was very sweet and helpful. I would also like to extend my appreciation to Ashan, the front office manager, for his friendly and welcoming demeanor.All the staff, including Anjali at the front desk and Dilanka from housekeeping, were enthusiastic and attentive, which added to the overall pleasant experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy a relaxing stay.

This is not our first stay at the hotel. This was our 3rd or 4th visit and it is the last for sure due to their poor customer handling and management. I must say that our previous stays were fabulous and i have made positive reviews in TripAdvisor for those. However, this time most of the staff are new to us and not so friendly and caring as the ones who were there earlier starting from the front office. They just don't care, I don't know if its because we are local travellers. On the other hand, the ”amberella” welcome drink is awesome as always. We stayed in a Duplex as there were 4 adults and my 9 month old baby. The rooms were clean and spacious. The living area was giving a calming vibe and had the same look as their other villas we have stayes before. Our baby, husband and I were in the upstair room and when we entered the room is was heated up and the air conditioner was not working properly. It was so uncomfortable so we called the front office and they sent a team to repair. It was taking alot of time so we requested for another room as our baby was feeling tired and needed a nap. Plus, they had adequate rooms vacant and even had Duplex category rooms available too. Still, they refused to shift us to another room so we kept the baby in the ground floor room. The repair took around 2 hours! And then we went to the room and the air conditioner was working. Yet, we were not able to have a nap and relax as we had to go out to Anuradhapura which is the main reason for our visit. So we came back at around 9.30pm and the air conditioner was not working again. Again the same drill, a team came, inspected and told us they need to repair again and it was 11.45pm when they said this. We refused because we were already exhausted as needed to sleep. Also, now, at 11.45 at night they are asking us if we can move to another room (Duplex category). They had vacant Duplex category rooms all this time and in the moddle of the night they are asking us to shift. In my head I was bursting but we were all too tired to keep arguing or leaving the useless place so we stayed in the same Duplex room just till morning. Early morning we left the hotel without breakfast eventhough we had paid for full board. They charged us the whole amount and invoiced for the additional food as well as mini bar (just mentioned this if not someone could think that they must've given a discount or wave-off). So we paid almost 500USD just for one night for this drama. We will never go back to this hotel and not at all recommend. I guess the main issue was poor management of the situation and it shows how poor the hotel management is. We were in Duplex 3 (Kohomba). This hotel staff or management will never care about the customer if something goes wrong and lacks hospitality. Afterall, while we were having our breakfast we got a call from the general manager of the hotel and he apologized but I think it is too late as we have already left their property. On the plus side, t

I made a reservation around Dambulla to rest one more day in Sigiriya, and they let me check in 2 hours early. The staff were really friendly, and the owner of the restaurant next to the pool was really kind. They also provided room service, so I was able to rest well. The hotel was spacious, so it was nice to walk around, but I recommend going to the treetop. It would be really nice to do yoga there. I wanted to go to the pool, but there were too many Westerners, lol. They booked a taxi for me the next morning and packed breakfast for me, so I was grateful. The room was the same as in the picture and was very spacious.
