Blue Turtle Hotel

Great tucked away resort... Being one of the very few guests during my stay, I got full attention and felt well looked after. Pool was nice and breakfast very good, I recommend this place for overnight if going to Yala for a safari.

If you're stopping to visit Yala it is a worthy place to stay. Didn't dip in the pool but the room was spacious, clean with a balcony provided. Staff were helpful, especially after I had inexplicably left a bag behind. There's a few really good restaurants within a 10 minute walk away worth checking out.

The hotel is located not far from Yala national park. The room was clean

It is a friendly family run hotel. We found staff very cheerful and helpful. Our room was a decent size and clean and overlooked the pool and garden. The pool is very large and well maintained and the garden is lovely. While we were there we had some very nice meals. Tip: ask them to buy in some fresh fish or seafood for your evening meal - good quality and reasonably priced. The place is located reasonably near Yala National Park - it’s about a 30 drive to the entrance. Another tip: go and see the bats at 6.15pm - they will know what you are talking about.

The hospitality was exceptional, making us feel truly welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring the city. The beautiful pool added a relaxing touch, making it a great spot to unwind with friends, family, or even as a couple. The food was fantastic—delicious and beautifully prepared, adding to the overall enjoyment of our visit. It's a charming and well-maintained place that I highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a pleasant stay in Colombo. Definitely a place to revisit!

When we checked in, we were given two rooms (2 adults and 2 children, aged 5 and 7) for a stay of two nights. The restaurant was clean and fresh. However, when we got to our rooms, they felt unclean and worn. I could hear scratching noises coming from the ceiling, but at first I thought it was someone working at the hotel. When my husband went to the bathroom with our daughter, he also heard the scratching and saw an animal sticking part of its head out through a hole in the ceiling. There is a pine marten living in the ceiling. The hotel staff were aware that an animal was living there. We wanted to check out immediately to find another hotel, as we could not stay with an animal living in the building. We had only been checked in for about two hours, yet we still had to pay for a full night. This was very unprofessional behavior by the hotel.

Some safety features like locker are missing.
