Appreciated how the cheap and reasonably large deluxe quadruple room with a/c was arranged when we arrived. The location was magnificent, not too far from old town.

The double room with a view, facilities worked for us. Excellent very central location, adjacent to taxi or tours, in a beautiful location, and where the elephants are bathing twice a day. Besides, easy to get to a sri Lankan zoo.

It was important to get Wheelchair Accessible room with the view of elephants, a beautiful terrace and that went well. Really enjoyed modern design.
The staff were not always friendly, didn't expect that coming.

Relaxing and fairly clean place, competent and patient staff especially the House keeping Manager. Local meals with complimentary drinks. Best possible and perfectly comfortable location by picturesque greenery, clean pool. And close enough to the restaurant, coconut forest and river right infront, and the river at 2 to 4 pm.

Reasonable base for exploring Pinnawala. Fairly clean and spacious venue with stunning views. Spacious bathroom and large room. Amazing and beautiful location in a shopping area, near the river front as well as the large Elephant Poo Paper gift shops. Besides, excellent for visiting a Dehiwala zoo.
