Hotel Sigiriyaaya - Jetwing Select
9.0 (14 reviews)

Hotel Sigiriyaaya - Jetwing Select ★★★

📍 70 Rangirigama Rd, Sigiriya, Dambulla

"A wonderful hotel in a quiet location among rice fields. Peacocks and the sounds of the jungle. If you love nature and solitude, this is perfect! Just remember that there's no "civilization" right next door. The rooms are nice, clean, and comfortable. The reception is very warm. The breakfast and dinner were delicious! Thanks to all the hotel staff. Most importantly for those traveling by car, the road Google defaults to on the lake side is bad, full of potholes; we barely made it. The road on the other side, while rough, is much better. I've attached a map in the photo."

📍 Idigaswewa, Sigiriya, Dambulla

"This hotel was terrible. The rooms were damp and a bit old. Not only that, but every night the shower water would turn cold halfway through. I contacted the hotel twice to have it fixed, and they said it was fixed, but the problem persisted. I strongly advise against staying there. It was awful."

Liyya Water Villas Hotels in Matale

Liyya Water Villas

"First, this hotel is in a very remote location, with nothing nearby, making it difficult to get around. Secondly, the hotel's design clearly shows a lot of effort, but it's not well maintained. We were moved four rooms in one day. Within 10 minutes of checking in, they told us there was a plumbing problem. After a long wait, they moved us to a different room type. After checking in, we still had no water. In the third room, large bugs kept dropping onto the bed and onto our bodies throughout the night, which was terrifying. We finally got our final room cleaned and changed after 10 PM. We finally got some sleep, but the next morning, the stationary hair dryer was broken again! We had our laundry done, and they told us we didn't need to iron it, only wash it. But when we checked out, they still charged us for the ironing! Luckily, my husband had texted them about our request via What's Up, and they were able to get rid of the extra charge. This completely delayed our plans for the better part of a day!"

"Very good experience in the hotel, especially with regards to the attentitveness and quality of service in the Restaurant by Garmini and his team Eardly, Sena and Dool."

Oak Ray Elephant Lake Hotels in Matale

Oak Ray Elephant Lake

"We stayed for one night. The hotel is nice, the room is big and clean. The pool was nice but in our case it was very windy and it's surrounded by trees so the water had a lot of leaves. But we still decided to go in. The lobby had a free table tennis plate and everyone was very friendly. For our feeling the food (dinner/breakfast) was expensive as there are not much options around but just a few hundred meters away is a fantastic Sri Lankan restaurant called Mr. Monkey."

Sigiriana Resort by Thilanka Hotels in Matale

Sigiriana Resort by Thilanka

"Loved this hotel, fabulous large room and ensuite, with separate walk in shower and bath. Good AC and working fridge, comfy bed. Fab scenery from balcony, looking out on paddy fields, snd amazing sounds from wildlife at night. Safe should be secured to some surface though, so it can't be lifted. Food was good standard, very similar to other hotels we visited. Pool area was super, nice amount of beds and tables and chairs, plenty of towels available. Bar was nice, good singer one night who took our requests and got us all up dancing. Bar staff were excellent, much quicker than in other places, and more than willing to learn how to make a Baby Guinness!"

Sigiri Hibiscus Villa Hotels in Matale

"We stayed here for 3 nights and what a lovely place to stay! The staff are very accommodating and will make sure you have everything you need to have the experience in Sigiriya! They offer trips and tours from the hotel which we didn’t know so booked separately but they came to the rescue when our second day tour was cancelled! The owner quickly got a service running to show us the ancient city of Polunuwara! The breakfast is lovely! We got a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast on our second day which was lovely and eggs, toast fruit etc the other days which was perfect for us! We did loose electricity one but this was due to the scared day and needing power elsewhere for celebrations! This was no problem as the owners made sure to have everything up and running for us by the time we returned from our first day trip! It is only a short walk to restaurants and the lake so is in the best spot! Would 100% recommend here to stay in sigiri!"

Sinhagiri Villa Hotels in Matale

Sinhagiri Villa

"I think we had our best time in Sri Lanka in Sinhagiri villa. This hotel is as eco-friendly as you can get. It uses completely renewable energy (also for the air conditioning) and the food in their restaurant is 100% organic. The vegetables and fruit you have for breakfast and dinner come from their garden and are grown without using any chemicals or pesticides. It is also the best food we have had in Sri Lanka. The vegetable curry dish comes with about 5 different vegetable dishes - each one bursting with flavour and mouth-wateringly delicious. Breakfast is a treat as well with lots of fruit from the garden and local breakfast dishes such as Sri Lankan pancakes and coconut roti with sambal. In addition, you are in the middle of nature so a peacock comes for a visit in the garden each day! Sriyani and her husband are also the most warm-hearted people you can meet. We had wonderful talks with them about everything and they went out of their way for us. We actually consider them friends now and hope to see them soon again! They are passionate about the environment and run their hotel and restaurant in a way that is good for the local surroundings, the people and the planet. We highly recommend!"

"The Iran/America conflict has reduced visitor number to Sri Lanka. However, the hotel staff laid on a fantastic service and made us feel very welcome. It’s a special place to visit with fantastic rooms, great food, a lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and numerous facilities."

Aliya Resort and Spa - Thema Collection ★★★★★
"Beautiful hotel in Sigiriya, view over the Lion Rock from the pool which is gorgeous as well, hotel is well located close to Dambulla temple, Minneriya Park for elephant watching,… Good experiences at the restaurant with the buffet at night, lunch and cocktails were fine too. Hotel staff is kind and helpful. Room (two floors) was comfortable and clean, a bathtub and shower room were both available. Not a big deal but the kid’s club needs a serious cleaning and upgrade (does not match the hotel standing at all). Positive note not well enough advertized: the free pottery experience for kids at the next-door hotel (walking distance)"

Eden Grand ★★★
"The service attitude of the store is very good (it should be a store independently operated by the owner). After arriving at the store, I was given a glass of watermelon juice (free). There is a small terrace outside the room. The most abundant thing is breakfast. The photos and scenes on Ctrip have a relatively high degree of restoration."
