Ekho was a great place to stay, a fabulous location in easy reach of the Lion Rock fortress.
The rooms are comfy, the food good and in easy reach of other bars and restaurants.
Nice place. Walking distance to lion’s rock. Clean. Relaxing pool area. Many dining options very close by.

it was beyond my expectations
the hotel is clean and organized
and you can walk to restaurants easily
breakfast was cheap, that was the only negative thing
Good thing about this property is, its is close by Sigiriya Rock besides that there really is nothing the property has to offer. For convenience to the park, I will say stay here but be ready for worn down property with noisy room by the Main Street.
It’s a three star hotel and it shows. The location is the main selling point. Super convenient and walkable to all the bars and restaurants of Sigiriya. The rooms are decently sized and it comes with a king bed and an additional twin bed. There are definitely ants in the room and geicos too so fyi on that if that bothers you. You get what you pay for.
The dining was open to the outdoors. For dinner there was a singer. For breakfast there was an omelet
chef. It was quiet. In the morning an elephant walked by. Easy walking to the rock.
The staff were super friendly at check-in and were helpful with my heavy luggage. It is a pleasant 15 walk along the lake to the Kandy City Centre shopping mall.
Nice, modern and clean hotel just at the road at Sangriya. Hotel layout like in American motels :) Nice and quiet. Hotel restaurant available and local ones within minutes walk.
There is a place for a swimming pool, but there is none, so it is probably planned in the future.
Unfortunately, after booking a room and arriving quite late (around 8:00 P.M.), the staff "couldn't handle" the fact that we are with a 13 year old child and our booking made via hotels.com includes one king size bed AND one queen size bed. Unfortunately, showing the reservation with above description did not help and the manager demanded an additional payment for a larger room with an extra bed - even though the error was on the hotel's side and such a room was free anyway.
It wasn't even a question of breakfast for 3, which we opted out of when booking anyway (we have booked without breakfast, room only).
My booking was done correctly. Unfortunately, the stuff wasn't up to the task. For this reason, we did not stay another night - we found another accommodation where there was no such problem.
This is a great place to stay! There are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, the staff is wonderful, and the room is very comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience.
Chec in was too slow. Breakfast was too expensive. Property was beautiful. Room was excellent.

Fairly clean with air conditioning and a nice private restroom for each bedroom. The only problem were the fixtures. The doors are squeeky and are coming off the hinges. Yeah, that's right, the doors are literally falling off. You have to lift it and force it back into the slot. The chairs on the patio are also falling apart and you can't sit on them. The location could not be better - literally a few feet from the entrance to the Rock fortress with the best local restaurants just adjacent as well. Overall the place needs renovation but for $50 night it's probably the best deal you can get right now. BTW do NOT pay for any buffet at the hotel, cheaper and more delicious food is available 100 feet down the road.
