Hotel is a bit tired but only semi descent hotel in area apparently? Have to remember where you are! Room was clean, etc. Pool area not great. Not fully paved/tiled, have to walk across stones in some areas to get to pool. Small area too! Happy for 1 night but wouldn’t want to stay longer!

We stayed one night for a safari in the Udawalawe National Park. The hotel is located closely to the Park entrance which is very convenient. The staff was very nice and the breakfast and dinner buffet offered a variety of good dishes. The rooms are nice, but the cleanliness of the bathroom could have been better. There were a lot of insects and mosquitoes in the room and unfortunately no mosquito net provided which is one aspect that could be improved. Overall, it is still a good hotel to stay for a safari in Udawalawe National Park.

Stayed here on a Secret Escapes trip for one night. Arrived just after 12:30 and the room was already ready. Room fairly large. Seating area outside and Bathroom was okay with shower and curtain. Good powerful shower and instant hot water. Bed was okay but very big but quite firm for me personally. Air con is an integrated into foyer. Little dated and very loud but cooled the room sufficiently and helped by the fan. WiFi in room non existent. Not even enough to load iMessage or texts. Eventually easured at like 32kbps. Lobby has much faster (48mpbs) Staff very helpful and friendly. Food was okay. Lots of choice but atmosphere a bit flat in the restaurant. Nice live guitarist playing music. Pool was good and not too chilly. Staff attentive and present all the time. Can have food and snacks by the pool. Overall a nice hotel. Not quite sure what makes it Grand and a Lodge but no complaints. N.b Well worth doing the Safari here too after the Elephant Sanctuary.

Stopped 2 nights here as part of an 8 night tour. We were here to go and see the elephant transit home, which was a very very short ride away. Nice grounds with a pool buffet dinner but probably wasn’t the most impressive during our stay…same for breakfast, but the breakfast was adequate. It could be the category room that we had, but it was a little bit tired but had everything we needed. Friendly attentive staff. We had a relaxing stay here.

This hotel is well placed for safaris into the national park. The hotel itself was quite dated but room was clean and everything you needed. We used the pool and that was good. The buffet was left sitting for hours in the evening and they were charging 20 dollars per person so we opted for a choice off the al la carte which was delicious and cheaper. I would stay here again for its location but not for longer than a few days

We stayed for one night whilst on a tour. The hotel is inside / outside style in a lovely setting. Our room was large with a nice outdoor seating area. The shower was good with hot water. The A/C was noisy. The hotel is in a good location for the safari park and elephant transit home, We were not impressed by the dinner buffet, it looked low quality not nice at all with flys on open food, seeing the buffet put me off ordering anything from the Al carte menu, fortunately I had some biscuits which kept me going, the breakfast buffet similar with flys.

Beautiful serene location. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Rooms were clean and very in keeping with the environment. I would definitely recommend this hotel! The food options were good but could be improved (ie a wider fruit selection would have been better as only bananas, guava and papaya was available both days).
