Hotel berhampiran Inamaluwa Isipathanarama Viharaya, Dambulla

If you ever consider to go to Dambulla, this is the place to be! The location is on a central point from which you can go easilly to beautiful landmarks as the Rock Temple, Lion’s Rock, Pidurangala Rock, Minnerya National Park or the ruïns of Polonnaruwa. But most of all we had an excellent stay with our hosts, Ajith, Sanjeewani & Tharini. They arrange everything you need. Even a dentist. And they are so nice! Ajith showed us around in the area and guided us during our climb on Pidurangala Rock. We certainly would like to return here!

The lodges are set among gardens and lakes with views over to Sigiriya. The quality of the rooms (lounge, bedroom and deck) was stunning. Our butler, Diman Kawshika swapped WhatsApp numbers and was always on hand to organise things for us. He was professional, attentive and always had a smile on his face. The quality of the restaurant was perfect. Plenty of Sri Lanka and international dishes with space to eat inside or outside. We only stayed 2 nights here on a tour but could easily imagine escaping here for a longer winter break. The hotel can organise plenty of activities locally, there's space to walk/cycle and a great gym/spa. I highly recommend starting the day with a yoga session with Rikki in the yoga pavilion, which looks out on water and has monkeys and peacocks milling around. Rikki’s a brilliant teacher and the yoga was different to yoga I’ve done at home. There’s more emphasis on breathing (something I’m a bit lazy about) and I felt like I was using my core differently. When you’ve got a busy itinerary there’s a lot of pressure to eat breakfast and be in the car by 9am, but starting the day with yoga/meditation was one of the highlights of my trip to Sri Lanka. I was so spaced out after one session I forgot how to unlock my phone (which is no small feat, since my face unlocks it)! Another day a monkey came to watch. I’d go back to Water Garden just for the yoga. Wonderful hotel fully deserving of its high feedback

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding hospitality during my recent stay on 8th December at Sigiriya Kingdom Resort - Dambulla . From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and cared for by your attentive and professional staff. Thank you once again for making my stay so enjoyable and comforatable with my three kids.The restaurant staff was totally tendered a child friendly service.I will certainly recommend your hotel to others and look forward to returning in the future.

As someone who has visited quite a few places abroad and locally, I have never visited the hotel that was so well thought out from construction and where the owners put a lot of love and care into the creation of the property. That is tremendously let down by the distasteful lack of service and cost cutting by the management company, which in this case is Thilanka. Starting off with the welcome, the security attendant was not bothered and just directed us to another place. No welcome towels or ease of check in. As a local group we were treated as some sort of unwanted vagabonds. Upon check in, out of 6 rooms, 5 were checked in and a single was not. The front office manager Hasintha was rude and just said hotel policy is 2 pm check in. He did not offer any apology, any reason and he didn't make any effort to correct the situation. When we went to the rooms there was no linen, no bath mats, no amenities. We informed the reception and they reverted that the linen was in the laundry so therefore there aren't any towels! We made it a point to inform the GM and to try and rectify the situation. He did get the housekeeping to provide the linen. Along with a few amenities and this was appreciated. However this was followed up with even shoddier service from the hotel staff. The lunch was a cheap cost cutting approach of just a sri lankan lunch, with barely any meats. The same can be said for the breakfast, which was mediocre. The place is very overstaffed, but nobody is actually doing anything or making an actual effort. The management don't seem to be concerned. The 24 hour reception seemed to be closed at 10 30 pm. We were yelling for a staff member and a dishevelled individual came out, we requested for some water and he just informed they had run out of water! We were obviously irate so we started making a fuss, at which point he called the housekeeping department and we suddenly got water. The next day when we asked for toothpaste or a dental kit they informed they don't provide those. However for the foreigners they are provided with all the necessary amenities. I understand if they don't want to stock it, but if you call the reception and ask for a dental kit, it is completely unprofessional to refuse and just state that they don't issue them. The good things are about the property is the maintenance and the landscaping. However the service and food is what really destroys the reputation Its dissapointing because the property looks like it was a great property that is ruined by bad management. Cheap ideas like cutting off the air conditioning in the restaurant and just switching on the fans and opening the windows in the scorching weather is just short term gains, and affecting the future of the property. The construction and fittings have been done with care. However the property staff needs to have a major change in their approach to customer service.
