Elysia Sigiriya Hotel

Big rooms and very clean .Every room had a Spa bath

We were happy with every thing

The location was perfect for sightseeing, and the staff made us feel at home. Rooms were clean, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed

Schöne großzügige Anlage mit sehr freundlichem und bemühtem Personal. Die Zimmer waren groß, gute Matratzen und Moskito-Netz. Der Pool ist nicht sehr groß aber ausreichend, haben ihn allerdings nicht genutzt. Das Frühstücken ist nach Wahl englisch oder Sri Lankan Style mit Obst, Saft und Kaffee/Tee. Man ist auf ein Verkehrsmittel angewiesen, das Hotel liegt abseits von Zentrum und den Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Leider war das Bad alles andere als sauber, sodass man auch diesen überdimensionalen Whirlpool, der die Hälfte des Bades einnimmt, nicht wirklich nutzen wollte. Kein Fenster im Bad, Abluftventilator funktionierte nicht. Das war etwas schade, sonst haben wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

We loved the peaceful, quiet location. The breakfast and dinner were enjoyed by all.

Good view

Average fit and finish

L’extérieur est magnifique. La gentillesse du personnel

Chambre très spartiate. Vieillotte. Salle de bain complètement à revoir… l’hôtel a besoin d’un bon coup de rajeunissement

My stay at Elysia Sigiriya was nothing short of incredible. The highlight was definitely the infinity pool overlooking the lake view was so serene and picturesque that I could’ve stayed there all day. Watching the sunset reflect over the calm water while floating in the pool was truly magical. The rooms were spacious and elegantly designed, with large windows that made the most of the lake view. The staff were friendly and attentive, always ready with a smile and great local recommendations. Breakfast was another standout fresh, delicious, and served with that same beautiful view.

We had an amazing experience at Elysia Sigiriya. The hotel is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by greenery. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable.

This is my second visit to Elysia Sigiriya, and I’m really impressed with the changes. The hotel feels completely renewed with a new management team and staff providing excellent service. Especially the General Manager is very kind and attentive, personally checking on guests and helping with everything. Great improvement and truly enjoyable stay.

The food was delicious, the pool area was peaceful, and the overall hospitality exceeded my expectations more than I expected. Highly recommended for who are looking for a quiet and pleasant stay in Dambulla.

Spacious rooms with a large, clean bathroom I really loved it. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help. And the food by Chef Malshan was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay.

Nothing to worry

The pool area was relaxing, and overall, the service and hospitality were outstanding. We will definitely visit again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

A special thanks to Mr. Danuka (General Manager) for personally ensuring my stay was perfect. The front office staff were very polite and helpful, and the restaurant team provided excellent service with delicious meals.

It was a rellaly great stay at Elysia - Sigiriya! Myself and my friends had stay with this magical place and I recomend this palce to anyone who vists this area!

Nothing

Bel hôtel, idéalement, placé dans un joli cadre à côté d’un lac. Entre Sigiriya et Dambulla La piscine et le jardin sont jolis .

La propreté est à revoir ainsi que le personnel qui n’est pas toujours attentif à ses hôtes. Certains membres du personnel font ce qu’ils peuvent mais il y a un souci de management Organisation des dîners un peu compliqué Peu de chaises à la piscine

Spacious, surrounded by nature, river in the front and we enjoyed getting in the river.

Food- if you stay there please try to dine outside, dinner was too over priced and not at all worth it, food took 45 - 1 hr to be served and it was disappointing. They need good chef! Staff - most of them were helpful but couple of seniors were obviously passing comments and mocking. Not a good experience.

Staff was nice and welcoming. Located in a beautiful land overlooking a lake.

Food was tasteless. A la carte menu was expensive and portion sizes were very small for that price. Buffet was not ready by the breakfast time and constantly missing dishes. Had to wait until they refill as well. String hoppers were half cooked!

Really good place to enjoy your vacation, a perfect location, my rating 10 / 10

Nothing

Staff were very accomodative.

Breakfast was ok but the bread was mold .There was nothing special that I liked

The service was really really super bad and they forget some many things and had to remind them so many times. Service team was shit so bad. The guy who was sitting with the pregnant lady is full of shit he’s the biggest faker who just acts like that he’s doing everything but he’s not.

Staff was friendly and breakfast buffet was good.

Second day There was a water supply limitation to the bathroom about 45 minutes due to maintenance and we had to face several times power blackout in second day night.

Swimming

Waste water stagnating in the triple Rooms’s bathroom

Friendly staff and way above average service. Delicious food and many varieties to choose from.

Bathrooms design. Deluxe room bathroom is not separated or partitioned from toilet so toilet becomes so wet if you take a shower.

Friendly staff, calm and quiet

Room cleaning

Garden view

The lake, pool and view. Loved waking up in the morning to the sounds of birds chirping.

Bathrooms, dinner and the room furniture plus staff knowledge. Bathrooms - was huge and spacious, but the shower area no proper drainage therefore the whole bathroom got wet after the shower is used. Can be a risk as slippery due to soap and shampoo. Dinner and breakfast buffets - very limited food, not many options. Room furniture - no chairs inside the room or any towel racks or hangers Except for 1 staff member, the rest of the staff seemed new and not much knowledge of general info of the hotel. We spoke in Sinhalese, and still we felt there were a language barrier. The staff require training. There were power cuts in one building, which made it hard as we had 1 family travelling with a 2-month-old baby.

Such an amazing location by a reservoir with beautiful views. The hotel is well built with quality facilities but not maintained. The staff were very friendly, and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. With proper management this hotel can become a top quality hotel. It’s sad to see such well built facilities going to waste due to poor maintenance and unprofessional management. Good value for money though.

The rooms could have been cleaned better. The hot water was not always available. Our bathroom door couldn’t be closed. The buffet could have more variety. We stayed three nights and after two nights we went out for dinner for some variety. The food was ok, not great.

The breakfast was poor/average. In general the fotos where much better than reallity. I think it requires a renewal and better maintnance.

In general it looks everithing is not properly mantained.

Very nice location. Beautiful lahdscape.

In the room is not refrigerator. and wardrobe

The staff of the restaurant is very nice. The pool is great. The place is isolated which makes it calm.

The room doesn't have a great isolation, I could hear the neighbors snoring. One day without hot water due to a power outage. We had to ask 4 times before the manager finally told us that there won't be hot water before the next morning. However, when I asked for a discount at the checkout, they offered us 2 dinners to compensate. I appreciated the gesture.

We like the view and the pool and the food

Location was very convenient and eye catching. Rooms were so spacious and comfortable. Breakfast buffet was very good. The location is a good option for family stay.

Some essential items like towals, spoons were not available on time when we checked in but upon request they provided. Some staff were little nervous with their work. But overall the service was satisfied.

It was amazing the workers there was really good and friendly im very happy food was great, we asked for a christmas dinner they invited musicians also a grill with fish and chicken setup christmas lights everything was perfect 10/10 no complaints

everything and all the room the bathroom the hotel facility the location the service the staff the food especially the breakfast is luxurious

the rice served in the kitchen

Room size Picturesque location Friendly staff

Force of hot water in the bath

Location

Cleanliness, Limited English speaking ability of staff

It’s located in very peaceful environment.

Foods are very limited, even though the hotel staff arranged buffet but the options are very limited. Pool and other facilities are a bit okay but there’s a lot of room for improvement. There’s a lot of insects and bugs in front of the room. We faced a 3hr power outage because the hotel wanted to do maintenance which is a huge drawback. We are forced to checkout early due to the power outage.

Facilities were poor . Large room but no furniture besides bed . Open plug with exposed wires in bathroom next to water tap.

Foods, Accomodation, Staff, Environment

Price was OK. But for a few more $ could have found a better hotel. Room is very big.

Access to the hotel is quite bad. Bathroom design is not good for a new hotel.

👍

Rooms are very Big so as washrooms Very good swimming pool

Breakfast can be better We got same food as it was served last night for dinner

Buffet breakfast was really met out expectations. Solar power panels were seen.. Surrounding area also they tried to maintain well..

There was a water leaking tap inside bathroom. Bathroom fittings also seems to be not the high quality ones.. Conditioner bottle and shampoo bottles were half way filled.. Hot water facility was not functioning well..

Nice view of balcony. Nice environment.

Lack of furniture in the room (only 1 chair for 2 adults & 1 kid). Better to add clothes hanging rack to the room.

Exceptional,must stay 2 nights , awesome property and well mannered staffs

nothing

Swimming pool so good and fantastic

Nothing.

The location, the environment and the comfortable rooms with a private jacuzzi which was a big plus. We enjoyed the boat ride (charged Rs.1000 per ride). Lastly, there was a good amount of variety for the dinner and breakfast buffet, and the taste was also on par.

The staff did not inform us that they had changed their checkout time to 11 am until the last moment. They stated that they have informed booking.com to change it, and also stated that it has not yet changed.

The garden was beautiful

Nice clean pool, big terrace, clean room. Staff was kind and helpful.

Breakfast is good but no more verities.

Bathroom has poor lights. I ave booked 2 rooms. one room not working light properly. Amex card not acceptable. staff is good. valuable for money. this is not luxury hotel. pool not big therefore can not use few peoples one time.

Nice Location Value for money Helpful staff

Management could be better and use the potentials of the hotel more

The staff, quietness and size, value for money

Beautiful location near the lake. Good breakfast.

The rooms were definitely spacious. The swimming pool was clean. The staffs were always ready to help. Affordable price point in comparison to other hotels in this region.

The rooms and balcony were not clean, cob webs and dust pretty much in every corner. There was no dental kit (toothbrush + toothpaste), which had to the delivered upon making a request to the service desk. We can only comment on the breakfast buffet as this is the only meal we had here; it was average. To have the closing time of breakfast buffet at 9:30 am is way too soon, given that most people visit the Pidurangala Rock or Sigirya for sunrise. Aside from that, the glasses and serviette arranged at the dining area were not clean. Noticed this on both days of our stay. None of the TV channels were working from the cable TV.

The stuff was amazing We asked to attend the lunch instead the breakfast and the stuff insists we will have both without extra charge We went to the pool and before we notice the someone from the stuff brought the towels and the sun bed

The room/bed if very big and comfortable The pool is beautiful and the view is amazing

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at this hotel, and it was the perfect choice. The location, overlooking the lake, was stunning, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. A special thanks to Bagya and Wishmi for their service. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this hotel.

Friendly staff...!

Need to improvise the food. Breakfast buffet was ok... Dinner was average!

Cheerful Staffs...great hospitality...they did everything for our food and drinks...the buffet breakfast...the swimming pool...large rooms and large bathrooms....helpful housekeeping Staffs.. awesome stay....serene environment...garden area is good...lobby is good

The road is not updated in map so the road shown in map is abit off road...no closet in such a large room was surprising...rest nothing to complain

Great breakfast

All outside people were using swimming pools with no swimming costumes

The staff was super friendly, and the breakfast was very good. When we were about to check out, our car had run out of battery and the staff was quick to assist us in sorting out the issue

We were a group of 24 people who booked 7 rooms. Upon arrival, we were informed that all the rooms were ready. However, we quickly noticed several issues. Five out of the seven rooms were missing towels, and three rooms did not have cups. One room even had trash left in the cupboard from previous guests. While the staff eventually brought cups, they failed to provide spoons. The housekeeping logistics were disorganized, and it was evident that the hotel is poorly managed.

Great location! Clean, spacious and comfortable rooms. Value for money.
