EKHO Sigiriya - 700 meters to Sigiriya Rock in Sigiriya

A magical place. Friendly staff. The manager kept asking if we were enjoying it and how we were doing. We really enjoyed it. The breakfasts are standard. The rooms come with robes and slippers, delicious toiletries, toothbrushes, and all the furniture is made of natural wood. The pool is open until 7:30 PM. The entrance to Mount Sigirya and the viewpoint of Mount Pidarungala are within walking distance. There are cafes and mini-shops nearby, open until 9-10 PM. Reviews mention electricity issues, and yes, there are, but not all day, and it's not the hotel's fault, but a general problem for the island and the country as a whole: a shortage of electricity. This is one of the Ekho hotels; we stayed nearby in Bentota, and we also liked it.

Hotel was great, very friendly staff! Akash,
Kaveen and Chathurika took good care and provided with great service. Delicious food, and convenient location.

This is a nice hotel in a great location in terms of seeing the key sights in the area we wanted to visit (walking distance to Sigiriya and Pidurangala rocks, and a short tuk tuk ride to a night loris walk). It is on a main road so there is a bit of noise from that if you have a room at the front of the hotel like we did - especially some loud music playing early in the morning. I recommend asking for a room as far away from the road as available. The room was more basic than I expected for the price but importantly it was big and clean. I think you are paying the price for a proper hotel in this location. The hotel pool is big and very clean, it is perfect for a dip to cool down - and very scenic, surrounded by lovely trees. We were a bit disappointed with the hotel restaurant menu which has nearly no vegetarian options on it, and similarly the breakfast buffet wasn’t worth it for us to purchase, but there are lots of other restaurants walking distance from the hotel to go to. The staff were helpful especially in putting us in touch with the loris night tour.

The hotel provides dinner and breakfast which are very good.

The view was great, the breakfast was delicious, and there was a pool, so I was very satisfied. I would like to go again next time.

This hotel is in a great location, right at the foot of Lion Rock, very convenient for hiking. The environment and rooms are also good, but the food is too bad. Don't book a package that includes breakfast and dinner, you can go out on your own.

Very good! The service, environment and breakfast are very satisfactory. The bed is also comfortable to sleep. The water in the swimming pool is warm and clear, and the beach is very good. There is a professional beach volleyball team training. I participated in the game and had a lot of fun!
