Find Hotels in Badulla, Sri Lanka

The rooms are basic but comfortable enough. Nice pool, nice scenery and setting, standard rooms have 2 double beds and a balcony with a view, only 1klm from station. Good food selection and cheap. No beer allowed (Muslim?) but saw the staff carrying out a bottle of whiskey from the function and guests carried out a bloke paralytic. 1hr Wi Fi costs 50 SKR ($0.40c) but didn't seem to work. Staff have poor English but are friendly. It's not great, but where else would you stay in Badulla if you have to catch the train?

We read the past review and should have listened! The place was dirty. The sheets had blood stains on them. There was no breakfast. They started drilling above our hotel room before 8.39am! We arrived at 11pm and left at 8am so we just had to put up with it but there are other hotels nearer to the station and I would recommend looking elsewhere even though this one is cheap.

We walked into the middle of a wedding when we arrived, and the staff was clearly and understandably overwhelmed. The place was trashed and noisy. We asked repeatedly for the basics -- towels, toilet paper and sheets, and eventually with some persistence they arrived. The wedding music, thankfully, eventually ended. Their restaurant was totally empty, so we decided to skip it and eat elsewhere. (The food in Badulla is limited, so we suffered any way.) Overall, it was a total forgettable experience. We used it for a jumping off point to see the tea journey to Kandy. If I had to do it all over again, I would have started elsewhere along the journey where they were more suited to deal with tourists. Maybe Ella?

We obviously didn't read the booking too closely as we thought this hotel was in Badulla. In fact it is about 20kms, or about an hour's bus ride away. However, the town of Pasara is interesting, obviously little visited by western tourists, as we were the centre of attention whoever we walked. The hotel is clean and comfortable, with hot water showers. The evening meal was outstanding and the included breakfasts were good. However, when we arrived very little English was spoken or understood, until a new member of staff, Gayran (?) appeared to serve breakfast. They had dial-up internet which, frustrating, would not load onto my tablet. It ended with borrowing the hotel's lap top, but still a very slow connection. Also, the hills prevented any coverage from Dialog mobiles. I would recommend the hotel as a place to stay to experience a town away from the tourist circuit. We were warmly greeted wherever we went, invited in for tea with a family and found several walks in the vicinity
