Hotel Sigiriya

Hotel Sigiriya

📍 Hotel Rd, Sigiriya
★★★★ 9.1 (160 reviews)

"The moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with a refreshing juice and walked us to a viewpoint — the sight of Sigiriya Rock was absolutely mesmerizing. The room is incredibly cozy with beautiful, interesting wooden decor that gives such a warm local feel. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of fresh fruit and great coffee. A perfect stay for exploring the ancient rock fortress!"

Eden Grand

Eden Grand

📍 272, 6 Kurunegala Rd, Dambulla
★★★ 9.6 (49 reviews)

"It's a little far from the city center, about 100 meters from the main road. I was using Google Maps to get there, but I took a wrong turn and had to ask a local for directions. Looking again, there's a hotel sign on a utility pole at the corner, so please refer to that. In terms of facilities, it's equipped with a kettle, refrigerator, hairdryer, and air conditioner, and the TV has good picture quality. Coffee, tea, and two bottles of water are also provided, making it well worth the price. (It's probably a new building, so there are few gaps, and hardly any flies or ants got in.) As for the food, breakfast is a mix of Sri Lankan and English style, with good taste and quantity. Combined with the facilities, it offers better value than other hotels in the same price range, so I recommend it. The owner's family was also very kind. ka"

The Paradise Dambulla

The Paradise Dambulla

📍 Kubukkadanwala, Dambulla
★★★★★ 8.6 (56 reviews)

"I stayed at Paradise Dambulla for one full week, and honestly, I can say this property’s biggest strength is its people. I have travelled quite a bit, but the warmth, kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care shown by the staff here is something very special. It never felt artificial or forced. Every single day, the team made the experience comfortable, relaxing, and memorable. Special thanks to Nikesha, Waruna, and Feros from the Front Office Department, Tharusha from Housekeeping, and the amazing F&B team including Damith, Lahiru, Thanuja and Dhanushka. Each of them created such a positive impression during my stay. A very special mention must go to Ranga, the F&B Manager. He is truly an asset to the hotel. Had a lovely small talk. An all rounder, highly professional, always attentive, and at the same time a genuinely kind gentleman who seems to support every department whenever needed. You can clearly see the teamwork among the staff, and I believe that is one of the main success stories behind this hotel. The rooms were excellent, the atmosphere peaceful, and the location itself is beautiful and relaxing. During the entire week, I genuinely could not point out a single bad experience. Paradise Dambulla should be proud of its people because they are the real highlight of this property and the reason guests will return again and again. Most definitely visiting again soon. Highly recommended!"

Arika Villa Hotels in Matale

Arika Villa

"We had such a lovely stay at Hotel Arika. The staff were so accommodating and flexible. The dining and pool area is beautiful. The trees and river next to hotel mean you can always watch the nature that inhabits the area from the comfort of your table. Our room was spacious, modern and with good air conditioning. From the balcony, again, you could watch the monkeys and birds. The food is really first class, offering a good selection but obviously the Sri Lankan curry selection was particularly good. Also, for those cautious travellers, you can rest assured that the hotel takes great care in providing plenty of safe bottled water. This was a very peaceful experience and would highly recommend for anyone seeking this too."

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve Hotels in Matale

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve

"We are writing this while sitting at the beautiful breakfast lounge - the breeze, the view and the fantastic service from Ravindra. Sri Lanka never disappoints and Vil Uyana is a new gem we have discovered that we will love coming back to. The idea of having one host taking care of your entire stay is a great idea, and that was Ravindra for us, calm, gentle and ever so helpful. Thank you for making our stay great. The rooms are great, and the room location is pristine. Loved our stay, the food , the service and overall hospitality"

Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The First Women-LED Hotel in Sri Lanka" Hotels in Matale

Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The First Women-LED Hotel in Sri Lanka"

"A quiet hotel with a mango orchard. The food is varied, from tasty to very spicy, so be careful. Don't bother with the spa; they don't know how to give massages at all. Monkeys were running around on the roof at night, making some noise. We didn't see any elephants. Otherwise, everything was great."

"Wonderful experience! Great place, great location. All the staff so cute and professional. Special thanks to Gimhana!!"

Elephas Resort & Spa Hotels in Matale

Elephas Resort & Spa

"The most beautiful hotel, the most beautiful rural setting and yes elephants come right up to the fence. Good food, lovely bar areas, one above the dinning room and one within. Again the staff couldn't do enough. A great laundry service. I would have liked to seen more curry options in the evening. Us Europeans have a varied palette, we don't have to eat bland food. The bar man was delightful and eager to please."

Pelwehera Village Resort Hotels in Matale

Pelwehera Village Resort

"Really nice experience, the place is like a sweet dream. Rooms are confortable, as big as needed and realy clean. You will literally walking up in a small cosy jungle. Not too far from cities, walks and interesting places. Around 1h walking to the first city but every shops and sellers on the way make feels shorter. Bus and tuktuk are easy to acces and cheap. Now, the greatest point, the service. It's feel like a custom made. Each team membres doing his best to carrying. They just don't know how make you feel unique, you are unique. Cocktails and drinks are cheap and taste really good. They propose a good choise of drinks and foods, good taste and not too much. Thanks again to Gamini, Same and all team membres of carrying us and our daughter."

"We had a wonderful stay at Arangala Forest Lodge. The location is stunning, with beautiful forest views and such a peaceful atmosphere. The staff were excellent—polite, welcoming and very helpful throughout our stay. The food was also a highlight, with the chef preparing a range of delicious meals for us. A beautiful and relaxing place that we would highly recommend."

Amaara Forest Hotel Sigiriya Hotels in Matale

Amaara Forest Hotel Sigiriya

"This is our second visit to this beautiful hotel. This visit is better than our first visit. Elegant rooms with a picturesque view of the surrounding greeneries. The rooms are spacious. This hotel is a merely a jungle with the chalets secluded within the forest cover. Hence ideal for nature lovers like us. The Tree Tops is fantastic there. Staff is very friendly and attentive. They trusted us and reserved a room for us during the last long weekend (when we suddenly decided to go there and despite the online payment system did not work for us to give them an advance payment). Pool is small, but clean Food is OK to good, but tasty. The final question is can we recommend this place? YES"

Hotel Sigiriya ★★★★
"The hotel is generally good, but overpriced. Due to its proximity to nature, be prepared for monkeys running on the roofs of the buildings and wild elephants in the surrounding area. The views around are breathtaking. On the downside: weak breakfasts (wide selection, but not much tasty food) and insects in the room."

Eden Grand ★★★
"The service attitude of the store is very good (it should be a store independently operated by the owner). After arriving at the store, I was given a glass of watermelon juice (free). There is a small terrace outside the room. The most abundant thing is breakfast. The photos and scenes on Ctrip have a relatively high degree of restoration."

Hotel Sigiriyaaya - Jetwing Select ★★★
"Excellent hotel, a real gift for such a price. Modern comfortable rooms, clean, peacocks roaming around screaming, the staff is 10 out of 10. It is located on the outskirts, but if you are traveling by car this is not a problem at all, but it is quiet. The kitchen works slowly, but this did not cause us any inconvenience. If I came back, I would stay here again, I would not even look for another hotel"

Sigiriya Rock Gate Resort ★★★
"This is not a resort, when I arrived young girl practically ignored me, then pointed to a book to fill out and just walked away without telling me room number, facilities or any info. Room very good size and great working aircon, in bathroom no hot water or couldn’t figure out how to use the thing, either way had to take a cold shower. Next day when leaving was told about the lookout to rock fortress at back of property, very nice views, something that you would think the girl would be selling on arrival as a plus to staying in venue!"
