Staff are nice specially the ones who are not in the restaurant. Hotel is very beautiful in very nice environment. Live music at nights, cute Christmas decorations all great. Food is relatively good (we tried breakfast and dinner and they were delicious). Needs improvement: For 2/4 nights of our stay we had lizards in our rooms (2 rooms, one constantly had in the other one we saw one day). Ultimately they changed one of our rooms for the second night with lizards but overall experience was severely impacted. Also at the buffet for both breakfast and dinner they tend not to refill the food and strangely before 1hr of the end time they comfortably say oh we don’t have xxx!

Breakfast was buffet style and was included in our room rate. Very good lots of choices. Pool was great with a fantastic view of lion rock. We were a couple and only saw a couple of children in the pool, lots of tour groups eating in the restaurant. We had the buffet dinner and found it good value 4500sri rupees

The facilities seem old, but overall I was highly satisfied. Above all, this is the only place where we can see Seagiria Rock from the pool, so it is hard to change anything. If I had to pick one complaint, I wish they had prepared slippers in the room.

This was a beautiful hotel with an amazing view of Sigiriya Rock from the pool. The bar and pool service was excellent, however we do note the restaurant left a little bit to be desired. We wish we had of explored some of the local eateries during our stay.

We only stayed for 1 night but would definitely recommend the Hotel Sigiriya and would stay here again should the opportunity present itself. Nice, clean and spacious rooms. The staff, especially at the restaurant (we had a bbq dinner buffet and breakfast buffet the next morning) were amazing. So friendly, courteous and helpful. The pool and pool views of the rock were great too!

Nice location and a clean place to stay. But if you are planning on walking to the ancient city of Sigiriya it’s a 30 min walk from the hotel. Not a 1 min walk as advertised. The service was good but the food was at best average, specially dinner “À la carte”. Breakfast buffet had a lot of variety which was good but the food was average. Good for a short stay.

The view from the hotel bar and pool area is to die for. Hotel staff (especially reception) are happy in their jobs and helpful. Great breakfast and evening buffets on offer with delicious food. They need a better cocktail maker - all froth and little liquid, although you could definitely taste the alcohol. Gorgeous pool area but needs more sunbeds. Sadly, the room let our stay down - for the money we paid would have expected better attention to detail. Chipped paint, rusty chrome and damaged mirror in bathroom, stained lamp shade, safe not working (it was fixed). Minor but would cost the hotel kuch to put right. The the price per night was by far the dearest we paid whilst touring Sri Lanka. Overall though a great stay and we would revisit

Hotel in the jungle with a rustic charm. Room was good with a comfortable bed. Lots of ants in the room initially but I suppose being in the jungle that’s to be expected! Restaurant food was plentiful and delicious. We stayed three nights and we didn’t get bored as there was a good varied choice -buffet or the a la cart menu-. Pool towels available and the attendant keeps the pool side nice a clean, especially with his endless battle with cleaning fallen leaves up. Bar staff were very friendly but service was a little slow/relaxed with long waits for drinks being served at times. We had an excellent stay here it’s within walking distance to Sigiriya Rock which we did late afternoon. I would recommend doing Pidurangala rock for sunrise get a tuk tuk there (hotel will organise if you ask) as it’s extremely dark and a good walk for that time in the morning. We also hired a driver for the day who took us to Polonnaruwa temple ruins and Minneriya National Park where we hired a vehicle for the elephant safari (long, hot day but well worth it) Dambulla cave temples are also a must do. We found Hotel Sigiriya a good choice location wise for doing everything we wanted to do in the area. Thank you

We booked this hotel for one night with breakfast included. The hotel overlooks Sigiriya Rock and is in a very nice location. Breakfast started at 7am and after eating we left for Sigiriya Rock at 8am. As it was a weekday, we were able to get to the top while it was still relatively empty. By the time we got off the summit, there were quite a few more people, so we were glad we left early. If you can afford it, you might be able to climb before breakfast. After the climb, I returned to the hotel, showered and had a foot massage at the spa. It was relaxing and helped to relieve the fatigue. Check-out was at 12.00pm, which was good as there was plenty of time to spare. We had dinner a la carte. The buffet was quite late, starting at 7.30am, so it was good that we had gone a la carte. However, you need to be prepared to wait as they were busy preparing the buffet and having a meeting. The food tasted reasonable and is reasonably priced for a hotel. The staff were all friendly and welcoming.

We were a family of 5 and stayed 2 nights at this hotel; Pros: Lovely spa, we all had a really relaxing Balinese massage with Maha (she is from Bali and her contract with this hotel ends in December). Be sure to ask for Maha if you have a massage here. Lovely grounds Close to the lions Rock Excellent view of the Lions Rock from the pool Lovely pool and attentive pool guy Helpful staff (apart from the staff at the buffet breakfast) Cons; Tired rooms We are vegan and vegetarian and this is the most disappointing buffet breakfast we have ever had in Asia. The taste of food was average, labelling of food was incorrect, no fresh juice provided in a country that produces ample fresh fruits. No non dairy alternative milk offered for tea or coffee. Tables not set up for dining half of the time. Staff in the restaurant did not care for our requests. I have stayed in hotels where chefs have gone out of their way to cater for vegan and vegetarian diets. If you are vegan or vegetarian don’t bother eating here. One of our rooms had a leak in the bathroom which they were aware of 4 days prior to our arrival however they did not inform us about this. We had to stay in this room on our first night as they were fully booked. We were transferred to another room on the following day and it was a nice room. I would have appreciated being informed of the bathroom issue in advance giving me a choice to book elsewhere. Instead I had to put up with a leaking bathroom once checked in.
