    Excellent, the suite room with view of pool and river was excellent.”

    Excellent hotel, room was clean, breakfast and dinner was good with variety of food. You can go for walk Tissa Lake and have a boat ride. The swimming pool is good but there should be a board saying people to have shower before going in the pool. The bathroom in the room should have a larger soap and shampoo holder. We don't recommend anyone to go and see the Tele cinema which is about 20 minutes away, it is just a waste of money, you will see only collapsing building where they make movies before. Overall the hotel was excellent, we will visit again next time.

    Some of the best accomodation we have stayed in in Sri Lanka, especially for the price!! Modern decor, room was very big and clean with a hot shower with good water pressure. The buffet dinner was fantastic!! Staff were lovely and very accommodating, we arrived at 10pm and they were still able to organise a safari trip for 5am the next day. Thank you for a wonderful stay, would 100% recommend for anyone wanting to close to Yala national park.

    We stayed in this hotel for one night, before taking morning Safari at Yala (5am). Staff is super friendly, food is great (buffet or a la carte) and they pack breakfast when you need to leave early for Safari. Rooms are clean, super good service and very nice view of the lake. Definitively I recommend this place. We traveled with 3 kids (9, 6 and 2 yrs old). Hotel facilities work very well for families.

    Good hotel, quite fancy”

    Stayed here to visit Bundulla and Yala. It's an upmarket hotel, with all the mod-cons. Bathrooms were huge and the best that I had in all of Sri Lanka. Swimming pool was a bit heavy on the chlorine, but the deck area and the lake views were incredible. Would definitely recommend. Note that it's a fair hike into town (Tissa) if you want groceries or a wider choice of food. It's walkable though (and definitely go the long way around the lake - that's beautiful), or else take a tuktuk (there are many available).
