Hotels in New Town

"Hotel was great, so peaceful and located near enough to all of the sites. "

"Room is nice. Staff are friendly and welcoming. "

"We enjoyed a great stay! The rooms and especially bathroom was very clean without any sewer smells. The air conditioner worked very strong. I didn’t need to use it the full time. And there were no mosquitos or critters creeping in. The host was very friendly and we had a nice breakfast during our stay. It was quiet and peaceful. The WiFi issues were fixed but honestly after a day of hiking Lion’s Rock I used the room to get much needed rest. I would certainly recommend this place to others! It met all my expectations for the two nights we stayed. Comfortable! Hot water! Air Conditioning! WiFi! Peace and quiet! No bugs or mosquitoes! Close to Sigiriya Rock!"

"The staff are amazing! So friendly, hardworking and kind. The food was delicious and the coffee choice (cappuccino, americano, latte, expresso) were wonderful to have. Perfect location to walk to Lion Rock and Pidurangula. Just a short TukTuk ride to Dambulla. It was so nice to be able to go for a swim and sit around the pool after hiking. We would love to be able to go back some day! "

"We booked 3 nights in a deluxe double room - if that was the case I dread to think what their standard rooms were like. Our room was damp and mouldy. Our clothes in the suitcases smelt damp. The room had big cobwebs everywhere. The ceiling fan was filthy. The bathroom had mould and the toilet brush was disgusting. The listing said it had mosquito nets but this was not the case. The menu for dinner was limited with a lot of items unavailable. Breakfast was not good either again limited options and the cooked items were cold. Of course I discussed the room situation with the staff but there wasn’t the option to move. The staff did their best with organising tuk tuks and transfer to Negombo which we were thankful for. We decided to move on a day/night early to get away from the mould and damp. The above makes us sound like divas but that is not the case. We are seasoned travellers and accept that accommodation in the forest/jungle of Sigiriya would not be 5 star especially when they have a lot of rain, but we would like to think the listing on this site would be representative of what we would get. By all accounts there are better places to stay close by, perhaps I didn’t look closely enough. Don’t make the same mistake we did!"

"Big hotel complex but very well run"

"Nice enough but very much a tourist hotel, pool size was too small to actually swim in. Poor access to internet when I mentioned it response was “oh the hotel is full” internet capacity should be made for a full hotel! Buffet was on. Wine was very expective "

"Wonderful staff . nothing was too much trouble. Lovely accommodation. Bit difficult for driver to find but very secluded. Only negative was the stray dogs roaming around and 1 in particular sleeping outside our front door."

"We had a fabulous stay. The hotel is beautiful and the staff wonderful, particularly our butler, Prasanna."
