    Only down side was that the water pressure was low but Doable :)

    The location was really close to the Lions rock, bed was comfortable. People working were really nice and tried informing you as Good as possible, 24hr reception. It is a small business so if you want to support Sri Lanka support a small business. Also Nice Street with Nice cafés everything in walking distance.

    Everything was good.

    The welcome at Sunshine Resort & Spa Sigiriya was excellent. We arrived around 1 p.m. The rooms, however, are ready only from 2 p.m., but there was no issue with leaving our luggage while we went to visit Lion's Rock and returned afterward. The entrance for the Lion's Rock road is about 10 minutes away. Count an additional 15-20 minutes on foot to reach the ticket purchase for Lion's Rock entrance. Of course, you can take a tuk-tuk instead of walking. The rooms have everything necessary, nothing to complain about. The next day, we talked about the elephant safari to the receptionist, and he offered to call a "tour" that is nearby, I think, to be able to do it. There are 3 national parks where you can see the elephants, and they know where there are the most at the moment. So, we went to Huluru and saw a lot of elephants. The best part was that the jeep picked us up at the hotel, we went to the botanic garden for free, and then headed to the safari. Once the safari was over, the jeep took us directly to our new hotel in Dambulla. The cost was 15,000 LKR for the jeep/guide and 5,000 LKR for the entrance for 2 people. Additionally, the breakfast was very generous and good.

    We stayed for 2 nights in this property and had a great stay. Specially we would like to mention the service of Mr.Thas and the food quality, Mr.Thas helped us throughout our stay and took care of all our needs very nicely. Food quality is also amazing, especially the Sri Lankan rice curry and srilankan string hoppers, puttu and fish curry. Location of the stay is also very near to the lion rock and pidurangala rock. Thanks Mr.Thas for the amazing service.

    Only cold water, No hot water. We stayed 3 nights, unfortunately we weren’t lucky with the weather because was raining almost constantly for 3 days, and we couldn’t have any hot shower for all our stay.

    Really nice position, very close to the center and also walking distance to the Lion Rock. Big breakfast. Nice staff.

    The place was very dirty, the sheets and pillows were all with stains.

    It was close to the Sigiriya rock but unfortunately it was raining and this has nothing to do with the place as its nature! The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to please the guests.

    When we arrived our top sheet on the bed was very damp, had to ask them to change. Also, we booked our safari and outings with another company and not through the hotel, and they called the company asking for commission, we thought that that was uncool. It is NOT a spa. There are no spa amenities on the premises.

    Great location!! Near to everything. And the mattress was very comfortable. Loved the room size, spacious. Shower had good pressure and hot water, A/C. Staff seemed nice.

    The TV in the room didn't work, but that's a minor point

    Manoj and his team were so welcoming and helpful, and the breakfasts were delicious. Rooms were a good size and the showers were hot. The guesthouse is in a great location, and is very close to cafes and shops in Sigiriya (3 mins). Walking to the ticket counter for Sigiriya took 20 mins max. The rooms were close to paddy fields and there were so many birds to spot. A really nice place to spend 2 nights.

    Nothing. Very cute place, water pressure is a bit lower, but not a deal breaker.

    The vibe. There was so much trees, plants, even monkeys, cute dogs and the sound of peacock in the nearby rice fields.

    I felt it was overpriced for the room condition. Don't get me wrong it's a lovely bungalow style BUT no water pressure in shower or hot water . I had big discount on booking and no way would I be happy paying what was supposed to be full price . Once again as in most hotels no toilet paper , water or coffee supplied .

    Very helpful staff , one in particular was fabulous worker .beautiful grounds with monkeys out front , elephant apparently visited the rice fields in rear garden one night .excessive breakfast of toast , eggs , coffee , tea , juice , fruit , pastries , jam etc 😂 . Close to restaurants etc . Helped book safari very short notice.
