Heritance Kandalama
8.9 (309 reviews)

Heritance Kandalama ★★★★★

📍 Heritance Kandalama 11, Kandalama

"Beautiful resort. The decor in the rooms is a bit dated but authentic to the architect. Would like to see the rooms updated a bit but still 100% worth it and would stay here again as is."

Eden Grand ★★★

📍 272, 6 Kurunegala Rd, Dambulla

"We had a one-night stay here visiting Dumbulla and Sigiriya. The hotel is accessible via an alley off the main road. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. The hotel offers Western and local ala carte breakfast which we really enjoyed. Overall, it is great value for money."

📍 Yapagama, Wijaya Kumaratunga Mawatha, Dambulla

The Paradise Dambulla
8.4 (62 reviews)

The Paradise Dambulla ★★★★★

📍 Kubukkadanwala, Dambulla

"The staff make this hotel. From our charming, attentive waiter Dananjaya who went out of his way to chat with us about the dishes we were eating to finding an elusive piece of chocolate fudge cake for me. The chef provide a feast every evening with plenty of choice for most people and diets. The reception staff and the customer relations ladies were delightful and couldn't do enough to help. We loved staying here."

Hotel Sigiriya
8.9 (182 reviews)

Hotel Sigiriya ★★★★

📍 Hotel Rd, Sigiriya

"1. The views from the hotel are first-class; you can see Sigiriya Rock right from the lobby. 2. The staff were also very polite. 3. The room layout was very strange; as soon as you opened the door, there was the bed. I finally managed to move the bed further inside, only to find it was directly facing a mirror. For those who don't mind, it's fine. 4. The breakfast was extremely unappetizing."

Pelwehera Village Resort
8.6 (45 reviews)

Pelwehera Village Resort ★★★★

📍 Bulagala Junction, Habarana Road, Dambulla

"We had a great visit at Pelwehera Village Resort. Reception staff, Restaurant staff and Room staff was really nice and friendly. Specially Mr. Gamini, Senarath, Dool, Rasika, Bhagya and Harsha from room staff assist us well during our stay. We would love to visit the resort again."

Amaya Lake Dambulla
8.9 (45 reviews)

Amaya Lake Dambulla ★★★★★

📍 Sigiriya, Kandalama

"It's a hotel with a touch of luxury. The environment is great! It's quite close to Sigiriya Rock. There were many European tour groups. You can tell it used to be quite luxurious. However, the rooms are really old, and the bathroom is a bit worn."

Hotel Sigiriyaaya - Jetwing Select
9.0 (23 reviews)

Hotel Sigiriyaaya - Jetwing Select ★★★

📍 70 Rangirigama Rd, Sigiriya, Dambulla

"Hotel staff were very helpful when I had an unprofessional and creepy driver. The room is large and clean. Has a nice pool and the breakfast was good. Buffet breakfast days are more delicious than the set menu days as they have fresh egg hoppers available. Wifi in rooms which is the only hotel in Sri Lanka which had this working. Please note that the drivers arent particularly familiar with this hotel and can accidentally go to hotel sigiriya instead."

The River House Dambulla The Serendipity Collection
10 (13 reviews)

The River House Dambulla The Serendipity Collection ★★★★

📍 147/9, Wijaya Kumararthunga Mw, Siyambala Wewa, Dambulla

"The River House is incredibly beautiful and a wildlife haven away from all the crowds. We had a wonderful stay, thank you. We absolutely loved watching all the wildlife from the infinity pool. The house was very well presented and in such a beautiful natural setting. It is very natural and open so if you aren’t in tune with nature it might not be for you but if you do appreciate the beauty of the natural world and being close to it, it was superb. The team that run the River House, Nandasiri and Wanasinghe were wonderful. So kind and attentive and the food they cooked was absolutely delicious!! The best we have had in Sri Lanka. Such lovely people they made it an amazing stay. Thank you. We highly recommend the River House"

"Came across this place randomly while driving through the area and decided to stop for some food and drink after visiting the nearby attractions. The upstairs seating area in the terrace is lovely. Service was quite slow but with the breeze and views was manageable. Food was simple and okay. Did the job! Garden area was lovely though."

Amron Resort Sigiriya Hotels in Dambulla

Amron Resort Sigiriya

"This is a warm and welcoming family-run inn. The owner greeted us in the morning and evening, and the grandfather and children took care of us at other times. Our room was on the first floor, but the second floor was being renovated during our stay. The room was generally dark, and we noticed some dust and a musty smell. The shower had hot water and drained well. Amenities included bath towels and soap. There was no hairdryer. There was an extra charge to use the air conditioner. It was hot, so we paid for the entire night upfront, but it was the right decision as the air conditioner reduced the musty smell. Breakfast is served at a table in front of the room for two people, and at a larger table in the public area for more than two people. The fruit and coconut sambal were delicious! The garden was beautiful, and we enjoyed the local atmosphere that you don't get at typical hotels. While the cleanliness was a concern, the owner and grandfather were very kind. In Sigiriya, where many hotels are expensive, we were very satisfied with the service at this price. There are many restaurants and shops nearby, and several laundromats within walking distance. There are also places to buy alcohol within walking distance, which was very convenient."

"It's located about a 20-minute walk from Sigiriya Rock, so the location is good. The cleanliness is average, but there are a lot of ants in the room, and the floor is covered with them. It's perfectly fine if you don't mind that."

Heritance Kandalama ★★★★★
"Nestled amidst Sri Lanka's lush jungle landscape, Heritance Kandalama offers an unparalleled retreat that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff provided a warm and professional welcome, setting the tone for an exceptional stay. The hotel's architectural design, a masterpiece by Geoffrey Bawa, is both innovative and environmentally conscious, blending modern luxury with the beauty of the natural environment. Our room featured panoramic views of the Kandalama Reservoir, allowing us to wake up to the serene sights and sounds of nature. The property boasts three distinct swimming pools, including an infinity pool that appears to merge with the lake, offering breathtaking vistas. Dining at Heritance Kandalama is a culinary delight. The Kanchana Restaurant offers an extensive buffet with a variety of Sri Lankan and international dishes, all while providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Throughout our stay, the staff consistently demonstrated attentiveness and professionalism, ensuring that every aspect of our visit was comfortable and memorable. Heritance Kandalama is more than just a hotel; it's an experience that celebrates the harmony between luxury and nature."

Eden Grand ★★★
"We stayed at the Eden Grand Hotel for two days and absolutely loved it. Although it can be a little tricky to find, the hotel is beautifully located at the edge of the forest, where monkeys leap from tree to tree. The rooms are cozy and well-designed, with a spacious, comfortable bed, modern bathroom and an AC. The service was exceptional. Breakfast is freshly prepared just for you, and the food was fantastic. The hotel also offers its own tuktuk driver, making it easy to visit nearby attractions like Sigiriya Rock. All in all, the Eden Grand Hotel is a charming and peaceful retreat and the Service will try its best to make your stay memorable."

Hotel Sigiriya ★★★★
"When searching for a hotel before our trip, we stumbled upon this place and fell in love with it instantly, despite the price. After checking in, we realized that this location is absolute perfection: completely secluded yet within walking distance to both Lion Rock and Pidurangalla Rock. There are plenty of cafés and even gastropubs nearby, the grounds are impeccably clean and well-maintained, and the view of Lion Rock from the pool is simply breathtaking."

The River House Dambulla The Serendipity Collection ★★★★
"Nestled by the serene Dambulu Oya (River) and surrounded by trees, my friends and I thought we were in for a chill time. But, surprise! The garden was a bird paradise! I snapped some epic shots and saw over 40 bird species, including some Endemics. And trust me, you've gotta catch the sunrise on a hike to Dahaiya Kanda. It's like nature's own light show!"
