Very nice place. Simple. Nothing fancy. Great for backpackers. The staff is very helpful. I think they are not always on site but easily reachable by whatsapp and quick to respond. The breakfast was excellent. We were able to walk to sigiriya rock. There are some good dining options nearby. The road is a bit dangerous to walk on at night because of traffic.

The best place in Sigirya! We loved the place and extended 2 times our stay because it’s so comfortable! The rooms are big and clean it was perfect for what we needed. The breakfast is include and the plates are amazing lots of food and very tasty. Also the people who works here are helpful, nice and kind heart person. The chef even made us a 5 stars diner and let us stay in the kitchen to show us how some of the dishes are made. Location is also ideal very close from everything.

Ideal location for hiking!
We had an enjoyable 1 night stay here. The breakfast was a large variety of Sri Lankan pastries. Great spot for 1 night if planning on doing the various hikes in the area.

Établissement vivement recommandé
La chambre est spacieuse et propre. Les hôtes étaient très sympathiques. Ils ont eu la gentillesse de nous faire participer à la préparation du dîner (un kottu, spécialité locale). Nous y avons passé une excellente soirée. L’établissement est situé à 200 m de l’entrée du site du Rocher du lion.

Nice, inexpensive hotel with great breakfast
We stayed for four nights as a family of five with three children (aged 8,11 and 14) and we liked the hotel and the area. The staff is helpful and kind and it was easy to make the small adjustment to our breakfast for example. The rooms are nice, clean and very affordable. The internet WIFI is good and the speed is OK. The bathrooms are big and clean with plenty of hot water.
