Hotels near Sri Bodhirukkarama Temple, Dambulla

The concept of the hotel as a retreat is very nice. Huuuge property with beautiful nature everywhere you look, which you can explore by the free-to-use bikes they offer. The view from our room into the nature and to tge mountain was beautiful. We liked the architecture of the rooms and the restaurant area with the window facades. We also liked that there was no music in the restaurant area to be able to enjoy the sound of the wind, trees and animals (especially birds). Also, as the hotel has only nine rooms in total, you have a lot of privacy. Actually my friend and I have only seen two other guests one time at dinner but had the pool all to ourselves (but we have to say that we have been there during low season). The staff of the hotel is very friendly and attentive. If you have any wishes/needs they are happy to assist you with anything (e.g. the FO manager helped us to book the train from Kandy to Ella). The best feature of the hotel for us was the food, which was included in our room price for 2 nights. For breakfast they have a Sri Lankan option and a western option (we chose the latter and enjoyed omelette and nice fruits and sweets). Dinner was excellent the two nights. Well-thought 4 course menus that are changing every day, including starter, soup, main course and desert. Every course was a gusto. Also they cook a lot with their own grown plants from the garden and you can really taste the difference between these fresh nutritious meals and the frozen fish and vegetables in Germany. We really LOVED the food. The only thing we would improve is the maintenance of the hotel. The walls, windows and the pool could be cleaner. Also the sun loungers could be renewed as well as the bikes and the roof covers. If maintenance and restoration in the hotel would be improved, it is without doubt an amazing place. Just a little tip on the side: the time we were there it was very windy, especially during the night. The wind was very loud and the roof cover made noises due to the wind. So if you are noise-sensitive and can’t sleep when it’s too loud, better bring ear plugs 🫠🙂

The hotel is right next to the cave temple and you can walk past it, which is very convenient. The hotel can report to Lion Rock for a group tour, or charter a car to Lion Rock, and then go to the ancient city. The price is billed in US dollars.

非常經濟實惠的酒店，餐飲也還好，服務很好。早餐好吃～

A few days ago l stayed at Occidental Paradise Hotel. I'm really previllged to give a review to the hotel , my one of a friend recommended this hotel, then called to book, the receptionist Nadun the phone handling, great call handling, he is really nice, supportive, he is all for what we need. Told the information ,the day we arrived at the hotel, the front team welcomed us warmly. , the welcome drink was great, we got the tamarind drink which was really nice, the dinner was great, we didn't feel like we were in a hotel, we felt like we were at home, we really felt like we were at home, really from the moment we entered the hotel and checked out. We had good support from the hotel staff until the next day, especially thanks to the receptionist Nadun who provided excellent customer service from the day we booked over the phone during our stay, he is a very friendly innocent guy. We will definitely come back one day with our family highly recommended to everyone.
