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.

Lovely place

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.

Overall the hotel is good. good breakfast. however the level of service is terrible. bad advice. no taxi reservation honored and they gave us false information (sigiriya opening time). very negative balance sheet

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.

Great location and facility. Very friendly and helpful staff, especially the bellhop Unambuwa, went over and above for us. Wonderful stay

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.)

We had a beautiful stay in the Hotel! The receptionist was very kind and provided us with the room early! Nice restaurant with kind waiter, especially Mr Hashan! We will definitely come back!

Lovely hotel in a great location

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.

We stayed there for a night and everything was just perfect! The place, the hotel and the staff were great! Hashan, from the restaurant, was especially kind to us and contributed to providing an excellent experience! We loved it and wished we could have stayed longer! Would definitely recommend!

Staff always said hello with a smile

A lovely tranquil place in a beautiful setting. The staff couldn’t do enough for you and did everything with a smile. Can’t fault anything - just book it!

This is a nice little hotel if you are making Sigiriya your base. The staff were incredibly nice (I’m a younger-looking, white American woman traveling solo). The breakfast was good and the dinner buffet was fine though I wish I’d gone into town more for dinner. There’s not much happening in for lunch, so definitely go into town if you are still around. The hotel arranged a driver for a day trip to Kandy (he wasn’t great but the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic was worth it) and a keep and driver to see elephants in Eco Park. The room was clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable. The water temp in the shower was erratic. It would be okay for 20 seconds or so, then scalding, then good again. To be more eco friendly, have glass bottles of shampoo etc instead of mini plastic and have a water filter instead of bottled water. Overall, a great base for my first trip to Sri Lanka.

Service outstanding from everyone working at the hotel. Cleaning very good. If something is not working they will fix it immediately. Pool very nice.

À very Pleasant stay in the shadow of Sigiriya cliff

Beautiful location and very kind staff , very close to Sigiriya rock

Very good

Excellent service at the front desk especially from Shani. Initially disappointed that there was no separate veg menu but the executive chef Bernard and his team went above and beyond to cater for our dietary requirements.

Wonderful Hotel. Well located, lovely grounds. The staff are fantastic - helpful, friendly, and nice. The food was really outstanding. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, but not stunning, but fully outfitted. Wi-Fi was kind of slow, but it can be like that in smaller cities in Sri Lanka.

Very nice barbeque, not cheap but excellent. After weeks with curries I loved the fantastic beef

The location is great, very close to the Lion's Rock. The pool is good, it has a great view. The rooms are OK. They have been updated at some point. The restaurant buffet is not great, the food is mediocre at best.

Very nice hotel, amazing pool, reataurant and service

Gave the hotel feedback on the not-so-great food and service we got in the restaurant the first night. After that the staff was really nice with us and the manager met us in the bar and had a nice chat.

We loved our stay at Hotel Sigiriya - despite the rain. The communal area is a great space and we spent many hours there sheltering from the downpours. The staff were very friendly and looked after us. The breakfast buffet was great and there was a good selection of food. The room was plenty big enough for three adults. We loved the view of Sigiriya Rock. I would recommend this hotel!
