This was one of the best hotel experiences I've had in a quite a while!! -- decent quality for a decent price -- The OUTSTANDING part of this hotel - what puts it "head and shoulders above the rest" however is the STAFF!!! They are VERY service oriented -- I was greeted by EVERY member of the staff that I... More

Pool nice and refreshing large though not many guests so building and pool looked and felt large and empty. Evening meal my son enjoyed the buffet especially the hoppers but very little available for vegetarians, a common theme with many tourist... More

My partner and I didn't stay here but visited to have lunch and use the pool. The rough guide said we could have access to the pool if we bought lunch, our tuktuk driver confirmed this so we went for it. After spending a lot of money on a rather small lunch we headed for the pool. We were given... More

Everything was very clean and all the staff were very accomodating. The pool is amazing and we had it all to ourselves. We enjoyed the... More

My self and my husband were at Sudu Araliya from 4th to 7th January 2013. Out of all the hotels we stayed (over a dozen through out Sri Lanka) Sudu Araliya was one of the cleanest and most comfortable. The food was nice and the staff were very friendly (from management downwards) and had nice surroundings. They even baked us... More

We only stayed one night, and our Sri Lankan friends booked this spot for us, much to our delight. The room was large, comfortable bed, nice bathroom, lots of hot water, and the grounds are quite pretty. Take the time to wander around a bit. I got some gorgeous sunset shots over the lake, which is right behind the property.... More

Stayed recently (14-15th November) two nights in this hotel. It was supposed to be a nice and comfortable hotel. But there were many details not working. Forget wi-fi. There is a spa and they have Ayurveda packages but when we wanted to have some massage, there was only one masseur so only one of us could get the massage (it... More

Not very happy about this hotel. The room was clean until we switched on the bug zapper and then the floor and bed were literally covered in dead mosquitoes. They had a serious bug problem throughout the hotel. The dinner and breakfast service was okay but the food was not good. Our fish and chips would have been better served... More
