We highly highly (!) recommend this place - as a hotel & safari tour. It’s a family owned hotel from the boss (the lady), her husband and son - they are always around and super supportive. I had regular contact with them before through WhatsApp. They organized for us the private whole day Yala safari tour (5am-6pm) for a great price (a MUST do which was fantastic with the Jeep driver Prisana - only do the tour with them see also below), and also taxi drivers for a great price). We had the big double room with A/C and warm water. It can be easily 4stars from a SouthEast-Asia standpoint. Rooms are a great size, bed is very comfy, bathroom is also great size. It’s very clean. The overall hotel looks really nice, in the middle of the jungle, with lots of birds etc around, nice veranda on the ground & second floor. Restaurant is also running by the family. Awesome food (best Kottu in Sri Lanka) and it was also cheap. You can spend there easily 2-3 days when you do 1-2 safari tours down there. Payment only in cash. I wouldn’t look for another hotel & safari tour! :) La Safari Inn Hotel organized for us the whole day safari tour with the Jeep driver Prisala (hope I write the name correct :)) which was fantastic. We had really the feeling that he tried to provide us the best experience we can get. We saw many many elephants incl groups of elephants, 2 leopards, many crocodiles, birds etc.) price was also good. Food was fantastic which was prepared by the hotel La Safari Inn. I would only book the tour with La Safari Inn if you are down there. You can also do half day tours. But we had the feeling that after lunch (there is a break from 12-2pm and nobody can drive through the park in that time) that you see many more animals incl elephants in the afternoon.
