Hotel Sigiriya

Hotel Sigiriya

📍 Hotel Rd, Sigiriya
★★★★ 9.1 (161 reviews)

"The moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with a refreshing juice and walked us to a viewpoint — the sight of Sigiriya Rock was absolutely mesmerizing. The room is incredibly cozy with beautiful, interesting wooden decor that gives such a warm local feel. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of fresh fruit and great coffee. A perfect stay for exploring the ancient rock fortress!"

Eden Grand

Eden Grand

📍 272, 6 Kurunegala Rd, Dambulla
★★★ 9.6 (50 reviews)

"It's a little far from the city center, about 100 meters from the main road. I was using Google Maps to get there, but I took a wrong turn and had to ask a local for directions. Looking again, there's a hotel sign on a utility pole at the corner, so please refer to that. In terms of facilities, it's equipped with a kettle, refrigerator, hairdryer, and air conditioner, and the TV has good picture quality. Coffee, tea, and two bottles of water are also provided, making it well worth the price. (It's probably a new building, so there are few gaps, and hardly any flies or ants got in.) As for the food, breakfast is a mix of Sri Lankan and English style, with good taste and quantity. Combined with the facilities, it offers better value than other hotels in the same price range, so I recommend it. The owner's family was also very kind. ka"

Heritance Kandalama

★★★★★ 8.9 (276 reviews)

"The scenery was lovely. Rooms were clean. However the whole hotel was quite dated and not worth the price paid. Service was average at best with them being generally being slow at meal times and long waits for food (had ala carte for dinner ) The breakfast buffet had a good spread but there were flies around the fruit station - very off putting"

The Paradise Dambulla

The Paradise Dambulla

📍 Kubukkadanwala, Dambulla
★★★★★ 8.6 (56 reviews)

"I stayed at Paradise Dambulla for one full week, and honestly, I can say this property’s biggest strength is its people. I have travelled quite a bit, but the warmth, kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care shown by the staff here is something very special. It never felt artificial or forced. Every single day, the team made the experience comfortable, relaxing, and memorable. Special thanks to Nikesha, Waruna, and Feros from the Front Office Department, Tharusha from Housekeeping, and the amazing F&B team including Damith, Lahiru, Thanuja and Dhanushka. Each of them created such a positive impression during my stay. A very special mention must go to Ranga, the F&B Manager. He is truly an asset to the hotel. Had a lovely small talk. An all rounder, highly professional, always attentive, and at the same time a genuinely kind gentleman who seems to support every department whenever needed. You can clearly see the teamwork among the staff, and I believe that is one of the main success stories behind this hotel. The rooms were excellent, the atmosphere peaceful, and the location itself is beautiful and relaxing. During the entire week, I genuinely could not point out a single bad experience. Paradise Dambulla should be proud of its people because they are the real highlight of this property and the reason guests will return again and again. Most definitely visiting again soon. Highly recommended!"

"Had a pleasant family vacation here. The service was good and the staff were very courteous and friendly. The Restaurant staff especially were very keen on providing the best possible service to all guests. Special mention must be made of Senerath and all the other Restaurant staff who served us. The food was great and there was a good variety of dishes for each meal. All in all we had a memorable time and this hotel can be recommended to anyone who is looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday in a scenic location."

Sigiriya Forest Edge By Marino Leisure

Sigiriya Forest Edge By Marino Leisure

📍 Idigaswewa, Sigiriya, Dambulla
★★★★★ 9.4 (44 reviews)

"I have to say, this hotel is one of the best hotels I have stayed in in Sri Lanka. It's only been open for 3 years, so everything is new. The hotel is in the form of a tree house, which is very unique, but there is no need to worry about safety issues. There are CCTVs everywhere in the hotel, and the hotel will ensure your safety. The hotel is very private, with only ten rooms in total, so it doesn't feel crowded or noisy at all, which is very suitable for vacation. The swimming pool is also very clean and the night view is beautiful. I would recommend this hotel to any friend who is going to Sri Lanka. Although it is not the most expensive hotel in my trip, it is the best and most impressive hotel. It’s really a treasure hotel~ I hope its business will get better and better^btw The breakfast is a set menu, which is delicious and rich~"

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve Hotels in Dambulla

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve

"Lucky enough to secure a villa with a private pool. If you’re after unwinding, relaxing and exceptionally hospitality this is the place to go. The villa was like glamping on steroids with the largest bed I think I have slept in a hotel. The shower gave the feel of being in the outdoors and the breakfast / dinner were unbelievable. I’d highly recommend booking the elephant safari from the hotel. The safari host from the hotel made the 4 hrs a very enjoyable experience - not to mention packed lunch! Our butler Prasanna topped of our stay and couldn’t do enough for us. 11 out of 10 stars"

"A quiet hotel with a mango orchard. The food is varied, from tasty to very spicy, so be careful. Don't bother with the spa; they don't know how to give massages at all. Monkeys were running around on the roof at night, making some noise. We didn't see any elephants. Otherwise, everything was great."

Liyya Water Villas Hotels in Dambulla

Liyya Water Villas

"First, this hotel is in a very remote location, with nothing nearby, making it difficult to get around. Secondly, the hotel's design clearly shows a lot of effort, but it's not well maintained. We were moved four rooms in one day. Within 10 minutes of checking in, they told us there was a plumbing problem. After a long wait, they moved us to a different room type. After checking in, we still had no water. In the third room, large bugs kept dropping onto the bed and onto our bodies throughout the night, which was terrifying. We finally got our final room cleaned and changed after 10 PM. We finally got some sleep, but the next morning, the stationary hair dryer was broken again! We had our laundry done, and they told us we didn't need to iron it, only wash it. But when we checked out, they still charged us for the ironing! Luckily, my husband had texted them about our request via What's Up, and they were able to get rid of the extra charge. This completely delayed our plans for the better part of a day!"

Amaya Lake Dambulla Hotels in Dambulla

Amaya Lake Dambulla

"It was such a wonderful hotel that I would like to stay there again. The grounds were spacious, with cottages surrounded by greenery, and there were monkeys and birds. It's along the lake, so the scenery is beautiful. The bathtub valve was broken so the hot water ran out quickly, the food took a long time to arrive, and there was not much variety in breakfast, but they prepared lunch boxes for us early in the morning when we asked, which was very helpful, and the staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were very kind. There was also a group of Japanese guests there."

Hotel Eden Garden Hotels in Dambulla

Hotel Eden Garden

"We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The property is beautiful, well-maintained, and offers a relaxing atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The view from all rooms were absolutely breathtaking and made our stay feel very special. The cleanliness throughout the hotel was exceptional. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the room is spotless, fresh and very comfortable and all the common areas were kept in amazing condition. The food was another highlight of our stay. Every meal was delicious, with great variety of fresh, flavourful dishes catered to different tastes. What made the experience even more memorable was the friendliness of the staff. Every member of the team was warm, welcoming, professional and always ready to help with a smile. Their outstanding hospitality made our stay very enjoyable and is valued. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, scenic and memorable getaway."

"The path from the cottages to the front desk and restaurant is dirt, so it is difficult to walk. I think they need to improve it a bit."

"Excellent staff and food. Point to note - the hotel is literally in the jungle. It’s remote. You’ll feel bugs and insects, so walk with a repellent, but I think it is a wonderful experience."

"Whereas the hotel grounds and rooms need a little loving care, the staff were out of this world -- so thoughtful and accommodating and wanting to please. The food was very good; enjoyed the cook's attention to our requests. Nice hotel at mid-range, good location and friendly ambiance."

Hotel Sigiriyaaya - Jetwing Select ★★★
"Excellent hotel, a real gift for such a price. Modern comfortable rooms, clean, peacocks roaming around screaming, the staff is 10 out of 10. It is located on the outskirts, but if you are traveling by car this is not a problem at all, but it is quiet. The kitchen works slowly, but this did not cause us any inconvenience. If I came back, I would stay here again, I would not even look for another hotel"

"We spent here 2 nights during our group tour. Place is wonderful and set in a picturesque gardens overlooking rice fields. You could hear noises of peacocks in the morning. The swimming pool is deep enough to have a good swim and there are plenty of sun lounges for everyone to enjoy. The room was very spacious and clean. Staff is lovely and helpful. We had a dinner here one night. Menu was limited. Curry originally only available at lunchtime but we asked to cook it in the evening. It was very tasty and cooked fresh for us. Would highly recommended"

Sigiriya Village ★★★★★
"The location is fantastic, especially if you want to enjoy views of the famous rock right from the pool — it’s truly a highlight of the stay. The buffet is generous, offering a good mix of local and international dishes, so there’s something for everyone. We stayed in one of the bungalows, which were spacious, surrounded by nature, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. It was a treat to spot different animals around the property, which added a unique charm to the experience. On the downside, the bike rental is significantly overpriced, and it seems that very few guests use them because of this. Additionally, many amenities — even something as basic as extra water — are quite expensive, which takes away slightly from the otherwise enjoyable experience. Overall, it’s a beautiful place in an unbeatable location, with great food and lovely surroundings, but some of the pricing policies could be more guest-friendly."
