Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Really nice bungalows with very strong AC. The garden has a really nice view of Sigiriya rock. Good breakfast included, they also offer a decent buffet dinner. Sigiriya Rock is about a 15 minute walk, whereas the main village area is a bit further. After visiting Sigiriya in the morning, we decided at the very last minute to catch the train from Habarana station (30 min drive from Sigiriya) to Colombo. We were struggling to contact a tuk-tuk driver with so little notice, so one of the employees offered to drive us in the hotel van, since he was already dropping off staff members in that direction. 10/10 service, very thankful.

シギリヤ近くのオススメ宿

非常に感じの良いオーナーで対応よく、無料の朝食付きが良かったです。買い物や外食しに行くには遠い場所にあります。宿泊した日が大雨と雷で夜中に電源が落ち、エアコンも電気も点かず携帯電話の灯りで過ごしたのがきつかったです。

Tolle Unterkunft mit mega lion's rock Aussicht

Das Personal ist einfach klasse. So lieb, und hilfsbereit. Sie organisieren auch tolle Ausflüge und helfen bei der Weiterfahrt. Die Lage ist der hammer. Direkter Blick auf den lion's rock beim Frühstück. Was will man mehr. Wir konnten von unserer Terrasse aus direkt bunte Vögel und Affen sehen.

Très pittoresque de se retrouver dans la nature. Un accueil très chaleureux. La chambre est simple mais bien décorée et propre avec une moustiquaire. Dîner excellent et un service exemplaire. Petit déjeuner copieux dehors entourés de petits écureuils. Aucune critique si ce n est un petit frigo serait bienvenu!
