This was out 4th 4* hotel stay in Sri Lanka, the views are spectacular and the majority of the staff also great. However the rooms weren’t 4* at all and in need of an update and deep clean.

We only stayed for 1 night but would definitely recommend the Hotel Sigiriya and would stay here again should the opportunity present itself.
Nice, clean and spacious rooms. The staff, especially at the restaurant (we had a bbq dinner buffet and breakfast buffet the next morning) were amazing. So friendly, courteous and helpful. The pool and pool views of the rock were great too!

Nice location and a clean place to stay. But if you are planning on walking to the ancient city of Sigiriya it’s a 30 min walk from the hotel. Not a 1 min walk as advertised.
The service was good but the food was at best average, specially dinner “À la carte”. Breakfast buffet had a lot of variety which was good but the food was average.
Good for a short stay.

This was a beautiful hotel with an amazing view of Sigiriya Rock from the pool. The bar and pool service was excellent, however we do note the restaurant left a little bit to be desired. We wish we had of explored some of the local eateries during our stay.

Lovely hotel and nice staff. We didn’t receive any toiletries for our washroom which was a bit annoying and the lady at the front desk told us she couldn’t break a large bill when we first arrived. Otherwise, hotel is nice, breakfast has a lot of options and variety and is tasty. Would recommend if you’re looking for a sanctuary/relaxation vibe.

Worth a stay!
A lovely setting close to Lions Rock, great view of the rock from the pool. You can walk to the rock but takes approx 30mins. The room itself was lovely, and staff were excellent. The food was delicious! Only downside was that we thought the pool wasn’t the cleanest, especially the children’s pool - a lot of debris from surrounding trees, and you could tell that the pool hadn’t been cleaned properly in a while (slippery floor from suncream etc.)

The view from the hotel bar and pool area is to die for. Hotel staff (especially reception) are happy in their jobs and helpful. Great breakfast and evening buffets on offer with delicious food. They need a better cocktail maker - all froth and little liquid, although you could definitely taste the alcohol. Gorgeous pool area but needs more sunbeds. Sadly, the room let our stay down - for the money we paid would have expected better attention to detail. Chipped paint, rusty chrome and damaged mirror in bathroom, stained lamp shade, safe not working (it was fixed). Minor but would cost the hotel kuch to put right. The the price per night was by far the dearest we paid whilst touring Sri Lanka.
Overall though a great stay and we would revisit

Hotel in the jungle with a rustic charm. Room was good with a comfortable bed. Lots of ants in the room initially but I suppose being in the jungle that’s to be expected! Restaurant food was plentiful and delicious. We stayed three nights and we didn’t get bored as there was a good varied choice -buffet or the a la cart menu-. Pool towels available and the attendant keeps the pool side nice a clean, especially with his endless battle with cleaning fallen leaves up. Bar staff were very friendly but service was a little slow/relaxed with long waits for drinks being served at times. We had an excellent stay here it’s within walking distance to Sigiriya Rock which we did late afternoon. I would recommend doing Pidurangala rock for sunrise get a tuk tuk there (hotel will organise if you ask) as it’s extremely dark and a good walk for that time in the morning. We also hired a driver for the day who took us to Polonnaruwa temple ruins and Minneriya National Park where we hired a vehicle for the elephant safari (long, hot day but well worth it) Dambulla cave temples are also a must do. We found Hotel Sigiriya a good choice location wise for doing everything we wanted to do in the area. Thank you

The best feature is the view of Sigiriya Rock from the pool. The rooms are a decent size and have good shower pressure. There is also a hairdryer and mirror outside of the bathroom area, handy, as one can finish getting ready while the other showers.
On the downside, not all plug sockets worked and the window didn’t close properly. Also, we were told that the evening meal was buffet only. At 4500 lkr, it's quite expensive. We later found out there was an al a carte menu. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain though, we would have walked to one of the nearby restaurants.
Not a bad place overalll for one night
