Pinnawala hotels & accommodations

Accomodation consisting of several stand alone villas with own shower/toilet. Central outdoor restaurant with reasonable day menu, Breakfast buffet was very average, food was cold and poor choice. Be prepared for a few insects during dinner in open restaurant. But nice atmosphere and surroundings makes it rather special if you are the outdoor type. Take some mozzie sp...

We stayed at the hotel one night to see the local attraction - the bathing elephants from the orphanage. This proved to be a very good decision - to visit the orphanage you need to buy pretty expensive tickets (20 USD per person), and they ask for the tickets even if you want to go to the riverside when the elephants are going there for bathing. With the hotel you have...

Excellent hotel our best stay in Sri Lanka so far. Great location to interact with the many elephants of Pinnawala - better than the orphanage or Millennium. Not a great location for day trips to sightsee in Kandy as traffic makes the commute take hours. Well worth an overnight stay particularly if you enjoy watching elephants.

This hotel is located opposite the Elephant Orphange access is from a hidden road behind. Four times a day about 20 elephants walk pas the hotel going to the river or coming back. This can be seen from some rooms and from the terrace of the restaurant or hotel cafe. Perfectly located in the town of Pinnawala.

The location of the hotel is simply awesome! It's practically next to the river where the elephants from the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage come to bathe everyday 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm. We walked down to the river and was able to have very close encounters with the lovely creatures. The service is good too but no hair-dryer, no kettle, and only one towel was provid...

I stayed a total of three nights here in Pinnawala and I have to say the delicious breakfasts of coconut sambal, string hoppers, curries, fresh bread and coffee with generous portions were amazing and motivated me to extend my stay. the staff was very friendly, remembering my name on the second day. rooms were clean with new linens. overall an excellent value.

This hotel is a mess - there were no ensuite bathroom facilities and 4 rooms had to share one bathroom. There were not towels, toiletries or tea/coffee service. We had to very firmly ask for morning tea which took ages to be made before we left for our program each day. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We were lucky to meet the owner as he was there at the resort. But I must say there was a mistake in the booking as we had clearly booked a room with 2 king/queen size beds. I showed the owner my booking details and he should me the confirmation sent to him by Agoda with no details of the beds. My wife, twin daughters of 4 years old and myself were made to sleep on on...
