Athena Lake by Seedevi

The location is magical - within nature, by a little lake. The design of the rooms and the garden allows experiencing the beautiful surrounding, also during meals. Pool was a blessed addition. Breakfast was perfect, changing day to day. Staff was friendly.

Not important enough to mention :)

The rooms were spacious and lovely. The staff were super helpful. The food was really good - the portions were huge . Beautiful location

The location was a bit remote - it would have been difficult without a car.

The staff were very helpful. Good variety of rooms. Breakfast was delicious. It's a short drive to Sigiriya and Dambulla.

Schönes Hotel, etwas abseits gelegen mit großen Garten. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Das Essen ist sehr gut

Nichts

Fantastica la piscina in mezzo agli alberi

Idyllische Anlage, eine ruhige Oase neben dem hektischen Dambulla. Toller Pool. Moskitonetz vorhanden. Zweistöckiges Familienzimmer mit viel Platz und eigenem Balkon. Nette Geste: beim Frühstück gab es immer eine lokale Speise zum Probieren dazu.

Küche hätte zum Teil noch Luft nach oben - Hauptgericht des Menüs jeweils gut, restliche Gänge eher einfallslos.

Ottimo posto, elegante e accogliente infatti c’è una piacevole atmosfera e ospitalità. La cucina locale è molto gustosa.

They had a good quality restaurant for lunch. It is located near a lagoon or lake. Good facilities and very kind staff.

Die Lage war sehr ruhig, grosser Pool, mitten im der Natur und nettes und freundliches Personal und sehr komfortables Zimmer

Die Auswahl an Essen

The food here was amazing. As usual the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Just to note there isn't a children playground as stated in the description

Relatively new hotel, lots of green around. Nice pool area that looks very inviting.

Far from the main road, in the middle of nowhere. The rooms don’t have blackout, just some rolling shades, so you will wake up with the sunrise. Lots of mosquitoes in the room.

Clean and comfortable Staff is responsive Nice view on the lake , nice swimming pool

Kitchen was too slow Dinner arrived after one hour and half

Fantastic stay, excellent & spacious rooms Very clean Breakfast was great Loved the green area

Quite outside the city

Property was so friendly, everything was clean and nice. 5 stars all around. Samir was exceptional and took great care remembering no spice for me at meal times. Showers were wonderful and the AC worked very well.

The hotel ordered us tuktuk to Sigriya and we agreed on price. The tuktuk was 15 minutes late and once we were dropped off at next hotel the tuktuk driver was very aggressive and demanded more money. It was unfortunate that was the last experience with the hotel.

Super friendly staff, nice property across a lake and very limited rooms . Cozy and home away feeling .

Friendly welcome, good vibes. Friendly and helpful staff. Already missing breakfast and dinner in the lush gardens with pretty birds singing. Perfect location to explore the cultural Would choose again.

Location was perfect for Dambula and Sigiriya sightseeing! Personel was extremely nice and helpful. Nice surrounding with swimming pool.

Even though everyone tries to keep the place clean it’s impossible without refreshing the place. Curtains in the room were broken, smell in our room was not perfect (room was over the kitchen).

Fantastic hotel. Peaceful location. Big rooms. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Food was amazing!

We had booked a suite with two bedrooms and each with each own bathroom, very comfortable altogether. Staff were friendly and environment was very nice.

Staff was very kind and helpful. The food was fantastic. The swimming pool was very clean and maintained every day. I hope to come back.

The hotel is requested to remove slight odd smell in the bath room.

Very friendly staff. Great food

- very friendly staff - very clean - good food - nice pool

The hotel is in.the forest, far from everything with a lake nearby. It is calm and relaxing, we got a great experience there. Unfortunatly the rain prevented us to enjoy thr swimming pool as we wanted. The staff is really nice and helpfull. The food was fair, the breakfast was excellent

The bed is not confortable, not hard enough, painfull for the back.

lovely swimming pool

Very Clean rooms, exceptional staff, good looking pool that we did not have time to use, property was spacious and well maintained

The pool, the service and the rooms were wonderful!

Great little oasis in the jungle. Staff is very helpful and accommodating. Had wonderful dinner out on the lawn, was worried about bugs, but was good, loved hearing the sounds of the jungle around us.

The distance from Sigiriya rock is a bit far and the road to the hotel turns to a single dirt road. Did like the entrance has a gate that is closed at night. Our room was great, only negative thing is the bathroom roof allows you to hear the noises from the shared room next door. The bedroom this was not an issue.

Excellent and attentive service. Great food. Quiet and pleasant.

All the staff was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating to many requests. The property is like a little tropical paradise where you can spot many different birds and little animals.

Athena Lake provides comfortable accommodation, a terrific staff, nice food and wonderful pool near Dambulla. It is a good base for visits to ancient sites (Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and Sigirya Lion Rock) plus safaris to Minneriya National Park, but is a little hard to find, along a gravel road. We loved relaxing at the pool after busy sightseeing but would have been happier if our roof was more brightly illuminated.

Check in was done very smoothly by a courteous and friendly front desk. Actually, since there are only six rooms in this boutique hotel the staff are not overloaded and are very friendly and courteous. We never had an opportunity to complain. The grounds lead down to the lake but one cannot walk right up to the lake because of the undergrowth. The pathway should be cleared up so that one can walk right up to the water's edge. A paddle boat would be a good idea as the remoteness of the hotel offers no other avenue to stretch one's legs except to take a walk to the village.

The stay in this hotel was excellent and I have to thank the staff for making our stay very comfortable. The food was superb and the pool was impeccable. The rooms were very clean and well kept. This hotel is probably the best we stayed at during our vacation in Sri Lanka because of the staff. I highly recommend staying here!!!
