il Frangipane

Absolutely wonderful hotel - our king suite with pool access was awesome!! The staff were exceptional and were always there to help - especially Nalaka (nothing was ever too much trouble)

Sometimes it was hard to get hot water in the shower

The location is absolutely wonderful. We hesitated a lot between staying here and choosing somewhere right next to Sigiriya Rock, but honestly, being so close isn’t necessary at all. There are plenty of tuk-tuks available to get around, and in the end, it’s actually so nice to stay in this peaceful little haven, very well connected and still very close to everything, but away from the constant flow of people around the Rock. The place is exactly like in the pictures, if not even better! It is quiet, peaceful and surrounded by nature, with little touches everywhere that make it feel really welcoming and charming. The swimming pool is clean and very pleasant, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The staff are absolutely amazing. They are always available, kind and genuinely helpful, and you really feel comfortable and at home here. They take the time to ask about your itinerary, give you advice, and whenever we had a free afternoon, they would suggest excursions depending on what we wanted to do and our time constraints. They were able to arrange everything for us at very competitive prices. They were especially accommodating when we arrived very early, well before check-in. We were able to have a lovely breakfast, then head to Lion Rock before 8am and enjoy it almost completely alone. We came back afterwards, relaxed by the pool, and our room was ready by the time we were done. During our stay, we also visited the Dambulla Cave Temple and the local fruit and vegetable market, with a private jeep safari to Minneriya which were both great experiences and very easy to organise from the hotel. There are also several great little restaurants serving delicious, typical Sri Lankan food just a two-minute walk away, which is really convenient and makes the location even better. We absolutely loved our stay. It is a calm, welcoming and genuinely lovely place, and we would highly recommend it!

Absolutely nothing

friendly staff, quiet large room, nice location, clean swimming pool, 10 on 10 for me

if you are from asia then keep in mind that you have accommodate with bidet in washroom

It has a pool and it was in a good location.

I stayed in the ‘suite’ which was a grey concrete box (very dark, very slippery) with sliding glass doors which meant everyone could see into your room unless you kept the curtains shut making it even darker. There is no food on the premises during the day and no coffee except sachets of instant.
