Matale Hotels with Bars

"First of all, service from Bagdea, Jaathu, Kishaulya and the young restaurant girl (forgot her name, my bad) made my stay warm and quite pleasant. They were all quite helpful. When I was late arriving at the hotel and the sky was dark, Kishaulya texted to enquire. That felt reassuring. I didn't really enjoy the breakfast buffet but at dinner, I had a good a la carte meal. Sigiriya is a little town rather self contained. Apart from the pool, there isn't much entertainment at the hotel although they had a cultural performance and a pop singer on the 2 nights I was there. You have to appreciate the ecological side of the Sigiriya area. So if you are looking for energetic activities, then it's not for you. Unless you count climbing the Lion Rock! My room was nice and spacious although I would have preferred a double bed instead of 2 singles. On my 2nd day, I went out of the hotel to have lunched and hung the sign for my room to be made up. Upon my return, I was pleasantly surprised someone noticed and did it in the short time I was away. So I found that I was well taken care of there"

"Bawa's design speaks for itself. However, the service during peak season was an absolute disaster. 1. Check-in was very brief with no introduction to the hotel's activities. 2. Vanishing Front Desk: On day 1, my requests for water and cleaning during the day were ignored. At night, I called 10 times with no answer. Eventually, someone picked up after I pressed the emergency button twice. The next day, my request for slippers was also ignored. There were no bathrobes in the room. 3. At 12 PM, I received a call reminding me to check out and offering assistance with luggage transport. After I confirmed, I waited in my room for 15 minutes to no avail and ended up having to drag my own luggage. For a renowned luxury hotel, the service was truly disastrous."

"Elephas Resort was chosen because of its serenity and space, a mid way break during our trip, we wanted some quiet space to chill and we did by the pool, alomg the paddy fields, in our rooms and walking around the lake our room faced. we rode a TukTuk and the lake view room we had was spacious and definitely worth journey in to the resort, clean and bright, toilets are well equipped and staff are friendly and welcoming, giving us advise on where to go eat and what to see around Sigiriya. it's a very quiet resort and i would recommend room 223, upper level, it's a special place for our 2 nights there and we already miss the beautiful, quiet settings Elephas delivered."

"這家酒店首先位置非常偏，周邊沒有任何東西，出行不方便，其次酒店的環境設計看得出花費了功夫，但是沒有得到很好的保養，我們在一天內一共被換了四個房間，第一個入住不到 10 分鐘説水管有問題，等了很久才帶我們換了一個跟我們定的不一樣的房型，入住之後發現還是沒有水，換的第三個房間，晚上不停地有大的蟲子掉在床上和身上，很嚇人。最後一個房間是晚上 10 點多才得洗換好的，總算能夠睡個覺，但是第二天一早發現固定的吹風機又是壞的！交給他們洗的衣服説了不用熨燙衹要洗，結果結賬的時候還是算了熨燙的費用！還好我老公之前有用文字 what's up 發給他們我們的要求，這才把多計算的免去。耽誤了我們足足大半天的行程計劃！"

"The hotel location is good sigiriya lion rock is not much far from here. Many birds particularly peacocks are there in the property making it a good experience. The room and bathrooms were clean. Hand towels were not there in the room by default have to ask reception both day but upon asking they were delivered promptly. Breakfast spread was good enough. Just that the food on order is not good enough atleast for our taste, but in buffet it is good like many options are only available in buffet but not in ala carte."

"Jetwing Yala is a remarkable hotel that seamlessly blends luxury with the breathtaking natural beauty of its surroundings. Nestled in close proximity to Yala National Park in Sri Lanka, the hotel offers an unparalleled wildlife experience, allowing guests to witness majestic creatures like leopards and elephants in their natural habitat. With its modern amenities, impeccable service, and eco-friendly practices, Jetwing Yala stands as a testament to a truly unforgettable and sustainable hospitality experience."

"Stayed in room 234. Lets start with the bad. The shower rose did not work. Extreme caution is needed when using the shower, as the water could potentially give you third degree burns and the floor was very slippery. Now the average. I personally thought the dinner menu was a little restrictive and food quality lacked. Now the good. Very spacious room and bathroom. Quality bed linen and towels. Comfortable bed and good AC. Staff very polite, responsive and helpful. Would stay again, but they need to get the shower sorted, as it is dangerous."

"It was a sophisticated, top-notch hotel with the best staff. If you come to Sigiriya, you should stay here. The breakfast had a wide variety and was very delicious. It would be even better if there were slippers in the room."

"The room facilities are too old, at least ten years old! Trip.com The webpage is marked as newly renovated in 2025! The sheets are old and faded and there are red stains. The shower hose is broken and there is no water pressure in the bath. The basin cabinet hardware is damaged and cannot be stored. The faucet splashes everywhere. The bathroom mirror headlights will flash when the contact is poor, and the air conditioner in the room drips at night and it is inexplicable noise..."

"We chose this hotel based on the location! We arrived, looked and booked 3 rooms. Moreover, it was cheaper to book through the website than at the hotel. When they showed us the rooms, a very sharp, specific smell hit our noses, I asked what it was, they told me that these were their air fresheners and they could be washed off. I said that I could not live with such a smell and needed to be removed, they said ok and we went to check in. Then I threw my things and went swimming and eating. In the evening, I returned to the room, the smell was there and then it dawned on me that it was a cockroach repellent!!!!!! The victims were already lying all over the room, and very large ones. At the reception, they silently moved me, without even apologizing. This moment, of course, spoiled the impression. After all, I immediately said that the smell was very sharp. The bathroom is very interestingly made, it is as if outside, in the shower there is a net and an outside nook. Leaving the cool room there is a strong contrast, but this does not spoil the rest. I liked the design of the disposable sets, they looked very stylish. In the evenings, musicians played in the restaurant (the first day there were mantras to the music, on the second day a guy sang very chicly. In the restaurant you can eat from the menu or dinner/lunch buffet. We tried both options, everything is very good. Very attentive staff in the cafe, the administrator saw us and ran to prepare a table for us. They also served by the pool. The territory is not large, but it is conducive to relaxation. Monkeys even came running. Friends went to the spa, they said the massage was good. From the hotel we went to Sigiriya (20 minutes by car) and on a safari in the park."
