Excellent owner, able to assist with organizing tuk tuk and driver for Sigiriya and sightseeing. Also arranged taxi for us to Kandy. Room had A/C. Breakfast included. Is walking distance to cave temple.
The family owned Shan inn hotel offers very comfortable cozy room with very nice garden behind. Chathuri, the owner of hotel is so lovely and kind. She just has this perfect friendly personality that makes travellers feel comfortable and safe. Also, her and her family has very good communication the whole time as they always respond my requests and questions. I loved getting coffee in the back cafe and chatting with her! :) They know good local tours as well. So I went a jeep safari (with driver name Hasintha), he was also very kind and it was so much fun!!! Shan inn - it can give you the best hospitality the travellers can ever ask for!
The hostess was absolutely lovely and welcoming which is really appreciated as I was travelling solo. She helped with any questions I had - she even invited me round for dinner. There was a problem with my booking which meant the rooms were over booked, she found me somewhere else to stay so can’t comment on the rooms.
The host family is absolutely lovely. Their kindness to me as a solo traveller made the visit to Dambulla even more enjoyable. The room was clean and though not large, had a comfortable double bed, kettle and mosquito net (though I saw none while I was there). Air conditioning unit was new and very efficient. The bathroom seemed new and was a wet room style, with very good shower unit. The breakfast was great and served at whatever time I asked (very early in order to get to Sigurya before the sun got too hot). The hotel is within walking distance of the famous rock temples, near the wall painting museum, a short distance from Sigurya and just over an hour by car to Polonnaruwa. It is an ideal place to use as a centre for those three visits. The lady who runs the hotel speaks good English. She will book bus trips if asked. I was in one of the front rooms which is close to the road, which could be noisy at times. I believe the back rooms are quieter. However, I found I was not disturbed greatly and slept well.

Spending New Year's with a small family guesthouse.
Perfect host. A welcoming family who will put all their heart to provide you with the best service. It felt like being home. The room was clean and comfortable, the food was really nice. I highly suggest you to stay Shan Inn Dambulla if you want to know what real Sri Lankan hospitality is.
