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.

Good hotel to stay in Sigiriya but ...

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.

シーギリヤロックから近く、すぐ外には飲食店や売店もある。Wi-Fiも強力で、スタッフも親切。部屋にはバスローブもあり快適に過ごす事ができた。リラックス出来る良いホテルだと思う。ハーフボードのプランの一泊だったが、何泊かしても良いと思えた。夕食はメインを3種から選択するスタイルで朝食はビュッフェ。 すこしシャワーの出が悪い所がマイナスポイント。蚊がいるのでムヒ持参するのをお勧めする。

シギリヤロックに登るため、前泊しました。 歩いて15分の距離にシギリヤロックがあります。私はタクシーで、チケットカウンターまで移動しました。 ホテルは少し古い感じもありますが、逆にそれがオシャレに感じるほどです。 部屋は清潔に保たれており快適でした。 ただ、シャワーの出が悪いのと、ドライヤーが無いのは困りました。 食事はしてないので評価できませんが、ホテル周辺にレストランが多く、評価の良い店を見つけ食べに行きました。 もし次来るとしたら、またここに泊まりたいです。

シギリヤ、ダンブッラの観光拠点にお勧めです。

平屋でテラスに面した入り口になっています。緑の庭にはリスやサルなどの小動物を見ることができました。 立地はシギリヤロックまで徒歩で行けます。 100mほど離れたところにレストランが集まっている区域があります。そのエリアにATMもありました。 WIFIは強力でした。 スタッフも親切です。 朝食付きプランでしたが、庭を眺めながらおいしいスリランカ料理を食べられました。 欧米のバケーションシーズンでないためなのか、2，3組しか宿泊客はいませんでした。スタッフの方が多かったと思います。

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.
