My partner and I stumbled across this place after another hotel let us down last minute - in hindsight, I am glad they did! Luckily, no pre booking was needed and we were offered a fantastic room at a great price. Unlike some of our other stays, this place was spotless. It smelt incredible and you could tell that it had been thoroughly cleaned. The room which we were given had a great view of Sigiriya Rock, as did the rooftop terrace. The host, and his family, could not do any more for you. We mentioned that we wanted some beers, and they were more than happy to go out and get some for us. We spoke with the owner's dad, Chandy, frequently and what a lovely man he was! We visited his shop daily to pick up bits that we needed and he kindly drove us to Sigirya Rock. He also was able to advise us on the best safari tour to go on. My partner and I were considering Minneriya or Kaudulla; however, after speaking to Chandy, he advised us that they can charge quite a lot and you can get a similar experience at another park. He organised the trip to Eco Park for us and we saw an abundance of elephants - exactly what we had wanted - for half the price! He even came along too and we were so pleased to have him there with us! We have and would continue to recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Sigiriya! Well worth the visit.
