This was out 4th 4* hotel stay in Sri Lanka, the views are spectacular and the majority of the staff also great. However the rooms weren’t 4* at all and in need of an update and deep clean.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Lovely hotel and nice staff. We didn’t receive any toiletries for our washroom which was a bit annoying and the lady at the front desk told us she couldn’t break a large bill when we first arrived. Otherwise, hotel is nice, breakfast has a lot of options and variety and is tasty. Would recommend if you’re looking for a sanctuary/relaxation vibe.

The best feature is the view of Sigiriya Rock from the pool. The rooms are a decent size and have good shower pressure. There is also a hairdryer and mirror outside of the bathroom area, handy, as one can finish getting ready while the other showers.
On the downside, not all plug sockets worked and the window didn’t close properly. Also, we were told that the evening meal was buffet only. At 4500 lkr, it's quite expensive. We later found out there was an al a carte menu. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain though, we would have walked to one of the nearby restaurants.
Not a bad place overalll for one night

A lovely setting close to Lions Rock, great view of the rock from the pool. You can walk to the rock but takes approx 30mins. The room itself was lovely, and staff were excellent. The food was delicious! Only downside was that we thought the pool wasn’t the cleanest, especially the children’s pool - a lot of debris from surrounding trees, and you could tell that the pool hadn’t been cleaned properly in a while (slippery floor from suncream etc.)

The location in front of Lion Rock was unique. The hotel was very close to many activities in the area. The grounds were kept very clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming.
