Sigiri Heritage Villa

We had an amazing stay at Sigiriya Heritage Villa. The staff was absolutely amazing and accommodating to all of our needs. Breakfast was yummy too. This is a great budget hotel. We had a driver so location was not an issue but it’s walkable to several restaurants and the hotel serves dinner as well.

Brief overnight stay so my comments are narrow. Comfortable bed with mosquito netting meant no buzzing to interrupt sleep, except for occasional monkeys on the roof, which weren't aproblem after midnight. Bathroom facilities were good. Got my worst ever coffee in my 50 years of international travelling at breakfast, and worst roti while in Sri Lanka for the week, and as breakfast was an extra cost I would suggest you go elsewhere. My room and several in the section in my wing experienced constant power failures - I assume a fuse kept tripping - so I had no electricity from around 9PM until 5am when I wandered downstairs in the dark to eventually find someone who got the power back on. Service here was nowhere up to standard. There was nobody at reception when I arrived or left, and nobody in the kitchen at breakfast time which I was assured commenced at 6.30AM. My Daughter stayed at Palitha up the same road and had a wonderful homestay with attentive and helpful hosts who actually collected me twice for free, taking us both to Lion Rock and later to a local restaurant. I didn't get an opportunity to use the pool or enjoy my balcony due to my very short stay. If all you need is a good bed and bathroom to enjoy your sleep etc., then this place is OK. If you want more than that, I would look elsewhere.

We had the deluxe room with the view of Lion’s rock! Truly amazing experience to wake up and look at of the window and see such beauty! The hotel is only a 15 minute walk from Lion’s rock. Room was very clean and facilities were great. There is a really nice swimming pool available and also a restaurant which serves lovely food. The service received was truly excellent and the hosts were always so happy to help.

The hotel is run by a kind owner. We had a nice room with nice balcony, we had a swim in the pool and a fine dinner. We went to visit Lion Rock early in the morning and after that had a great breakfast back at the hotel.
