It’s a three star hotel and it shows. The location is the main selling point. Super convenient and walkable to all the bars and restaurants of Sigiriya. The rooms are decently sized and it comes with a king bed and an additional twin bed. There are definitely ants in the room and geicos too so fyi on that if that bothers you. You get what you pay for.

Good hotel to stay in Sigiriya but ...
Nice, modern and clean hotel just at the road at Sangriya. Hotel layout like in American motels :) Nice and quiet. Hotel restaurant available and local ones within minutes walk. There is a place for a swimming pool, but there is none, so it is probably planned in the future. Unfortunately, after booking a room and arriving quite late (around 8:00 P.M.), the staff "couldn't handle" the fact that we are with a 13 year old child and our booking made via hotels.com includes one king size bed AND one queen size bed. Unfortunately, showing the reservation with above description did not help and the manager demanded an additional payment for a larger room with an extra bed - even though the error was on the hotel's side and such a room was free anyway. It wasn't even a question of breakfast for 3, which we opted out of when booking anyway (we have booked without breakfast, room only). My booking was done correctly. Unfortunately, the stuff wasn't up to the task. For this reason, we did not stay another night - we found another accommodation where there was no such problem.

Fairly clean with air conditioning and a nice private restroom for each bedroom. The only problem were the fixtures. The doors are squeeky and are coming off the hinges. Yeah, that's right, the doors are literally falling off. You have to lift it and force it back into the slot. The chairs on the patio are also falling apart and you can't sit on them. The location could not be better - literally a few feet from the entrance to the Rock fortress with the best local restaurants just adjacent as well. Overall the place needs renovation but for $50 night it's probably the best deal you can get right now. BTW do NOT pay for any buffet at the hotel, cheaper and more delicious food is available 100 feet down the road.

The cleanness is okay. The service was terrible, we booked a room with 1 double bed and 1 twin bed, for 2 adults and 1 child (actually we are 1 adult and 2 children at 12 and 8) with half board, however when we arrived we were asked to pay extra money for the child's meals(dinner and breakfast). Obviously we refused and as the result, they only served 2 sets of dinner and the contents of them were very poor which you can't imagine. After that, they gave us a room with only 1 double bed and then another room also with only 1 double bed after we claimed the bed configuration was not right. And then after about 40 min, we finally got a right room with right beds, after strongly arguing with them. Totally disappointing after read a lot of good reviews about the property.

Very good option within walking distance of the exit of Sirigiya Rock; the entrance is a bit further away. Clean and comfortable, being in the end room the shower water took a while to get hot and the flow wasn't very strong. The breakfast is reasonable, a buffet with a decent enough choice, but very weak coffee. Great selection of reasonable local restaurants a few meters down the road.

Put us in another hotel which was one we specifically didn’t want to go to due to ‘power cut’ in our room (rest of the hotel was fine). Despite us being moved miles down the road staff were very rude.
