Oak HooRay!
We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and we couldn't fault it. The facilities and service were impeccable and the staff were really helpful and friendly. It's perfectly situated between Sigiriya rock and the national parks. Just a small note but not a negative, if you are staying here, the staff aren't clear when it comes to prices so you do have to ask...everything is really reasonable though!

One of the best hotels I've stayed at, if not the best! The staff were not only helpful, but we're extremely polite and welcoming. The kitchen staff made my sick day a special dinner without us even asking for it. I can't recommend this hotel enough. Me and my family will 100% stat again when we're back in SL. :)

Nice great value hotel
The hotel is nicely finished and great value for the quality of room. The buffet is good value and food of a decent quality. Location wise it is good for Sigiriya or other day trips, however there is nothing else nearby and no real decent local restaurants. Still, for a few days I'd definitely chose this again were I to return.
