Hotel needs Improvement for a comfortable stay!

There is nothing to significantly to highlight positive other than staff being friendly.

Access to the room was very difficulty and the room was not clean. The stay was not comfortable due to multiple reasons. Too much of mosquitoes and irritating smell. Toilet commode was shaky and not permanently fixed. Breakfast was provided but the place was not hygienic with no options for breakfast and getting dinner was also a challenge at hotel. There is good scope of improvement to provide better facilities and make stay comfortable. This is not recommended for family stay if it does not get improved.

Unique Hidden Gem Holiday B and B- must visit

I liked how welcoming the host was, both her and her husband were such a warm, kind couple who couldn’t do more if they tried. The property was super unique and definitely worth a visit if you are staying in Dambulla. Breakfast was amazing too! Our hostess made so much fuss of us and recommended a lovely place to head to for dinner, The Golden Palace- best Sri Lankan Curry! The room was very big with 2 double beds and a big bathroom. Would 100% recommend to all of you!

Home away from home

We really enjoyed our stay in Shann In. Hosts were amazing - friendly and really helpful. They were helping us with everything - organising transport etc. And talking with them was a pleasure. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfasts as well as dinners prepared by host were delicious and we could taste amazing local cuisine! Location of Shan Inn is also perfect - walking distance from main temples. We definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay in Dambulla!

Simply perfect!

We stayed one night to visit the cave temple early in the morning. The Dambulla Shan Inn is just a few walking minutes away, so we enjoyed the cave tenple almost alone :) The room was clean, breakfast was really good and the owner was super nice and helpful. Absolutely recommended!

We experienced one of the best moments of our Sri Lanka trip here in Dambulla Shan Inn accommodation. Simply put - the hosts (Chathuri, Shan and their daughter Anuki) were just fabulous. So Kind, helpful, caring and customer oriented. We had so much fun with them. Regarding the accommodation - it was clean, calm and the food was also great. Visit here absolutely recommended. Take care, Eva

Nice quiet place to stay

Good location nearby temple, friendly owners, the bus to Kandy stops infront of the building.

Breakfast was OK, but could be maybe a little bit better. The water in the shower wasn't hot.

A very hospitable, helpfull and cheerfull owners who make you feel at home.

Rooms are really simple. Bathroom with no wall or step to keep water, so you end up in a puddle all over the bathroom after each shower. A broom for bathroom floor would help a lot.

Great place od you want to see the cave temple!

Great location if You want to see the cave temple! Only small walk distance to the ticket counter. Lovely Owner of the place gave us useful tips about road to the cave temple, recommended to us great and cheap place to eat tasty dinner, got up around 6.00 am to prepare for us breakfast and booked for us bus with ac to Kandy. Bus and tuk tuk stop is just in front of the Shan Inn. My advice is to take the room at the back od the builiding because its located near Kandy road, which is quite loud also at night time. And at the back is a beautiful Garden.

Amazing hosts, sincere and caring people, helped us with catching a bus to Sigiriya, made nice dinner. The beds were huge and very comfy. Outside garden pleasant to spend time at. Main attractions within a walking distance.

Breakfast was included in the rate but as we left at 7 AM was not offered by the host. Thats the only thing that would have been nice to have. Other than that - all good.
