Hotel Awaken

Nice price to quality ratio, AC

we found the breakfast underwhelming comparing to our similar stays in sri lanka

Es war alles total sauber!

/

We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation for one night. The location is very quiet, a bit away from the main street but you can walk to restaurants very quickly. The host is very friendly and greeted us with an iced-coffee and gave us nice recommendations for restaurants nearby. The breakfast was good - typical Sri Lankan Stile. The room itself is very clean and beautiful, we were totally excited because it really met european standards - regarding cleaning and equipment simply great!

Posizione perfetta, lontano dal traffico cittadino ma raggiungibile con una passeggiata di 5 minuti. Camera ampia, nuovissima e pulitissima dotata di tutto. Si dorme benissimo e il risveglio con i suoni della natura era meraviglioso. Il proprietario è una bella persona.

Очень понравилось расположение отеля: близко к главной дороге, в пешей доступности к магазинам и кафе, но в тоже время в дали от городского шума. Все окружено зеленью, поют птички, гуляют павлины. Хозяйка очень вкусно готовит, а десерты выше всяких похвал. Комната уютная, очень чистая. Горячая вода - действительно горячая ( Я наконец то смогла помыть голову). Хозяева помогли организовать наши поездки в Сигирию и на сафари. Атмосфера нашего проживания в отеле была наполнена уютом и особым очарованием. Если будем в Дамбулле, остановимся только здесь.

Struttura nuova e accogliente, camere pulite, proprietari disponibili. Molto consigliato!

L'emplacement, la décoration. La gentillesse la propreté l'accueil l'écoute super accueillant

J’ai aimé la gentillesse et la disponibilité du propriétaire, conseils où visiter et accompagnement en voiture sans frais pour les visites aux alentours. On est à l'écart du bruit de la ville et de la circulation tout en étant à 5min à pieds... Chaque jour un petit-déjeuner différent

Rien de particulier à noter

It’s clean

Hotel Awaken jest położony w bardzo zacisznym miejscu, a jednocześnie jest położony bardzo blisko centrum. Pokój jest zadbany, czysty i wyposażony w niezbędny sprzęt. W obiekcie serwowane są pyszne śniadania. Zarówno lankijskiej jak i typowo europejskie. Właściciel i jego żona są bardzo uprzejmi, mili i pomocni. Dopieszczają swoich gości pod każdym względem. Wlaściciel zorganizował nam wycieczki do wszystkich miejsc, które zaplanowaliśmy odwiedzić. Przez dwa dni jeździł z nami i opowiadał o historii Sri Lanki. Pierwszego dnia zawiózł nas do centrum i pokazał restaurację godne polecenia. Właściciel i jego żona tworzą niesamowite atmosferę. Podczas pobytu w hotelu Awaken można poczuć się jak w domu.

The family was super hospitable. The breakfast was fantastic. Room was very clean and very comfortable. Gorgeous family. Thank you for the lovely stay. Highly recommend this property.

Ładny i czysty pokój, piękna weranda na której jedliśmy smaczne śniadanie i obiad 😀 Super właściciel zorganizował nam świetnego kierowcę na wycieczkę do Sigiryi i polecił wyjątkowe SPA z masażem lankijskim.

Asanka har et lille hotel med 2 fine og meget rene værelser af høj standard. Super hjælp og service, dejlig og varierende morgenmad. Vi spiste også en dejlig hjemmelavet aftensmad på stedet, kan absolut anbefales. Asanka har en fin tur til Sigiriya til en god pris - og kørte os rundt i tuk-tuk i nabolaget uden beregning Han var også meget hjælpsom med at finde en bus videre -og sørgede for at vi kom på bussen.

The landlord is very nice and helpful. Rooms are spacious and very clean. I recommend this hotel!

El trato de Asanka y su familia, encantadores. Nos recibieron con una bebida refrescante deliciosa. El desayuno muy rico y, para despedirnos, nos regaló un coco delicioso de su propio jardín. Nos ofreció sus servicios con tuktuk, una lástima ya que habíamos alquilado uno previamente que nos resultó imposible cancelar.

Die Unterkunft ist bis jetzt die beste in 10 Tagen Sri Lanka! Es ist sehr sauber und das Zimmer ist gut ausgestattet. Der Host und seine Familie sind sehr freundlich und man spürt, dass viel Herzblut dahintersteckt!

The location is near the Dambulla City center, convenient for Dambulla caves and Sigria. Property is managed very well, reality is same as pictures. Breakfast served was tasty, I stayed for 3 days and onwer made sure different breakfast menu each day. All and all I had great time here, relaxed vibes due to greenray and sitout maintained outside.

Struttura nuova di zecca con ampia camera, arredamento di gusto e molto confortevole. Pulizia impeccabile. Gli spazi all’aperto, con giardino immerso nella natura, rendono il soggiorno rilassante. Gli host sono gentili e premurosi, e la colazione è fantastica: tutto preparato con cura, soddisfacendo i nostri gusti. La posizione è comoda: tranquilla, ma a soli 5 minuti a piedi dalla strada principale dove si trova tutto il necessario. Le attrazioni locali sono facilmente raggiungibili. Consiglio vivamente questa struttura! Purtroppo avevamo già programmato i giorni successivi del viaggio, altrimenti saremmo rimasti più a lungo. Miglior albergo finora, con un prezzo imbattibile.

Non c’è assolutamente nulla da dire

Ich hatte einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt hier! Das Zimmer ist sehr gut ausgestattet mit einem bequemen Bett, einer Klimaanlage, warmes Wasser, Kleiderschrank, Tisch und Fön. Alles ist extrem sauber, sowohl das Zimmer als auch der Gartenbereich vor dem Zimmer. Es steht auch durchgehend gefiltertes Wasser zur Verfügung. Das Zentrum ist fußläufig erreichbar, trotzdem ist die Lage total ruhig, umgeben von viele Palmen. Was mich aber am allermeisten beeindruckt hat, ist die Aufrichtigkeit und Herzlichkeit der gesamten Familie. Der Besitzer des kleinen Hotels bietet für seine Gäste auch Touren mit seinem Tuk Tuk an und ist insgesamt unglaublich aufmerksam und sehr darum bemüht, dass man einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt hat. Ich wünsche dieser Familie von Herzen alles Gute!

Staying with Asanka and his family was a truly wonderful experience! Their kindness, hospitality, and warmth made us feel completely at home. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and the attention they give to each guest is truly impressive. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, with something fresh and different every day. We also had lunch and dinner a few times (for an additional cost), and the food was just as amazing – homemade and full of flavor. Asanka also took us around all the local sights with his tuk-tuk, which made exploring the area very easy and enjoyable. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and pleasant stay in Sri Lanka!

The rooms are very modern and nice, the homestay is located in a residential area close to the nature. We had dinner and breakfast there and it was delicious! The family who runs it are very welcoming and nice!! Woud stay again!!

The location is great for Dambulla and Sigiriya. The rooms are lovely and clean. But most of all, the home cooked food is amazing!! The best food we had in our 3 week holiday. It was a great end to our stay in Sri Lanka. The family are so welcoming and super helpful. We stayed 2 nights and everything was just great.

The hotel was exceptionally clean, rooms looked exactly like on the photos. Asanka’s hospitality was beyond impressive, he was very accommodating and helpful. We had dinner and breakfast from the hotel, and they were both delicious, highly recommend!

What a great place to stay! Rooms are super new and very clean, great bathroom too! Breakfast was amazing and the owners are sooo friendly and helping! We really enjoyed our stay here and can recommend the hotel to everyone! Thanks for the great time!

This was our best homestay of the trip, Asanka and his family are lovely and they do everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Asanka drove us to all the spots we wanted to visit for a very good price. The food was delicious and the rooms are new and very clean. We are looking forward to coming back on our next trip in Sri Lanka!

Recently built and to a high standard. Our room was more than adequate and was spotless. The owner, Asanka, and his family are very welcoming and have a tuk tuk that is available for transport to the various sightseeing spots. The main street is an easy walk away for cafes and supplies. Breakfasts are delicious and are huge. Dinner is also available and should not be missed.

We are very grateful to our host Asanka and his family. This was one of the best stays I had in my life. They were very welcoming and I really felt like at home. They helped with everything we needed. Regarding the rooms they were spotless clean. Everything is brand new. I hope to come back someday!

Nothing

High standard in a peaceful, middle-class area. You can dine in or a 10mins walk off the right of the main road to find places to eat and a supermarket. AND, the owner drive tuk-tuk to take you to important sites for a reasonable charge.

Nothing. Enjoy spending money here for a local owner with young family.

Very clean and new. Very nice bed and pillows. Comfortable. Modern and big. The host was amazing and helpful and easy to deal with. I would definitely stay here again if I come back. Location is Great, and food was good. And on top the price was very good.

Only thing I did like was the bad WiFi. It works sometimes but most of the time it doesn’t. I hope they manage to fix it.

Very honored to have had the possibility to stay at the residence of Asankas Family! Very lovely and helpful people! I adored their breakfasts (+ dinners!) You won’t regret it one bit!!

What I didn’t like, was that I couldn’t stay longer ;-) Wish you all the best for the future @Asanka’s Family!

Great, modern and perfectly clean place. The host and his family is very nice and welcoming. They did everything to ensure we had a great stay. Thank you very much for everything. I can warmly recommend this place to everyone!

Our stay at the Hotel Awaken was fantastic. We got some welcome drinks on our arrival and had a nice homemade curry for dinner in the evening. Asanka and his family have been really welcoming and helpful in every regard. We even got a free Tuktuk ride to the cave temple in Dambulla and Asanka drove us to the bus station the next morning and helped us hopping on the AC bus to Kandy. The room is very modern, sparkling clean and comfy. We would definitely recommend this place. Thank you Asanka!

The food and services were excellent, as the host and his family were very respectful and responded quickly to our requests, helping us promptly. We got good advices and had good conversations with the host, we understood the culture a bit better and we rested in a nice, comfortable space. It is definitely offering a lot for the price, the stay was pleasant and close to Dambulla's centre.

This is a nice place to stay. The overall experience was quite pleasant and met my expectations in several key areas. The room was very clean, which is always a top priority for any traveler. Cleanliness contributes significantly to comfort and relaxation during a stay. Additionally, the location of the accommodation was ideal. It was very calm and quiet, providing a peaceful environment that is perfect for unwinding after a long day. Being close to Dhambull town also made it convenient for exploring local attractions and amenities. One of the highlights of my stay was the friendliness of the owners. Their welcoming attitude made a significant difference, enhancing the overall experience. Clean and tidy rooms Calm and quiet atmosphere Proximity to Dhambull town Friendly and accommodating owners Overall, I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The bed and pillows were super comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep every night. The hospitality was incredibly kind, and I was especially impressed by the fact that this is a small, family-run establishment. There’s a special warmth and charm in the way they manage everything—it feels like staying with family. The room was immaculately clean and very comfortable, and the accommodation was reasonably priced, offering great value for money. The food was both tasty and affordable, which added to the overall experience. If I could suggest one thing, it would be to add a small TV in the rooms, which might enhance the comfort for some guests. Overall, it was a delightful stay, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, family-oriented, and budget-friendly place to stay. Thank you for the amazing hospitality!

The location is also convenient, with the home being just about 200 meters from the main road, a distance that is easily walkable. But may be bit difficult on night time walk

Everything was more than great. The hospitality of family is awesome. Asanka probably safe my life, because I was bitten by a monkey and he toke me to the hospital and take care of everything... He's got a three wheeler also and can arrange for you almost everything. Rooms are new and really clean, and breakfast and dinner are one of the best in Sri Lanka. It is very recommended...

This Hotel started two month ago, so everything was very new and very clean. I think it was the most clean hotel I had before in Sri Lanka. The family is so lovely. They are very friendly and help you with everything you need. I felt so comfortable and welcomed :). Also they made me the best breakfast and dinner. On my last day they did a small cooking class for me because I was so interested in making Curry. That was great and I felt so grateful. They also have a tuk tuk and bring you to every place you wanna go. I’m so glad that I found this Hotel and & would definitely recommend it!

The family running the small homestay is absolutely hartwarming! Rarely have I felt so incredibly welcome in a place. They have their own tuktuk, so transport to all the sights is never a problem. Their food is fantastic, so you'd better have dinner there too!

Absolutely nothing!

Everything was incredible, the best place in all Sri Lanka. The family is really kind, and really helpful. They offered us the free transfer from and to the bus station. Room super clean and super new. Bed really comfy. Breakfast and lunch really delicious for really cheap price. Such a dream.

Absolutely nothing

Excellent

Great, amazing and very welcoming owner.Asanka is such a lovely person and great to have a conversation with. Him drove us in his tuktuk around the city and to the most important places here. The breakfast and the dinner were OUTSTANDING and we got to know Sri Lankan cousine. Him wife is cook the best ever. The room is spacious and has everything you need including AC and comfortable bed. There is so much nature around the house so that you can feel as if you were in forest. we went safari part of experience for us. he arranged everything best price of sri lanka. 🐆 I recommend that place so so much. I would give it a 10/10 🫶

Nothing

We were warmly welcomed by Asanka with a welcome drink upon our arrival. We also had the pleasure of meeting his lovely wife and family. We greatly enjoyed interacting with the locals. The accommodation is conveniently located near the nearest bus stop, which was perfect for our onward journey by bus from Dambulla to Kandy. Asanka kindly took us to the bus stop so we didn't have to carry our heavy luggage and even assisted us with buying the tickets. The rock is also very easily accessible from the accommodation! The breakfast was a dream, offering a mix of Sri Lankan and European dishes. The fantastic stay was topped off with fresh mango from their own mango tree. The hotel has just recently opened, and we had the honor of being Asanka's first guests. As a result, everything is modern, well-maintained, and spotlessly clean. We highly recommend this accommodation 100%!
