Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Sigiriya is highly regarded, especially for its stunning location offering a direct view of Sigiriya Rock, most notably from the lovely pool area. Guests often appreciate the spacious, air-conditioned rooms, some noting they are well-presented, while a few found the bathrooms a bit spooky at night. The breakfast buffet stands out with a wide selection of local and western options, although some guests have observed monkeys showing interest in the breadrolls! The grounds are well-manicured, and some public areas are well-appointed.

mixed feelings about this stay

disrespectful comment unprofessional behavior

the pool area was acceptable.

The restaurant staff lacked professionalism. i overheard them making disrespectful comments about other guests in sinhala. They probably assumed i did not understand. this behavior was offensive and unprofessional. i hope they receive training on appropriate conduct.
