I stayed here for two nights. The place is very quiet and conveniently located. The place is a little bit expensive, but the rooms and the bathrooms are very clean. The boss was very polite and not intrusive. He gave me some useful tips for travel. The hotel is right downtown and there are near the bus station, banks and... More

A quick one night in Tissa for a tour of the national park, and hotel Tissa, run by mr Tissa, ticked all the tissing boxes. Mr Tissa organised everything for us which was perfect due to our fleeting visit. Clean A/C rooms where much appreciated coming back into the heat after cool Ella. Great big Sri lankan breakfast was lovely.... More

We did not stop at this hotel much to my disappointment. We had booked into the Kirinda Beach Resort for 3 nights, however, after 1 night we decided to check out due to the location, service and food at Kirinda Beach Resort (go there at your peril). We got a tuk tuk to Tissa to see if we could get... More

My Father and I were delighted to stay in this great Hotel recently. We were given a very warm welcome by Tissa and later met his charming wife. Our rooms were bright and spacious and spotlessly clean. Within 30 minutes of arrival Tissa had organised a jeep safari for us into Yala, and provided us not only with a superb... More

Like many others, we stayed in Tissa so we could go on Safari in Yala Nat Park. As the hotel was very quiet when we arrived, we were able to get a good price on a very large 2 double bedded room set down a short dirt driveway (lit at night) at the back of the hotel. It had an... More

It was just magical thanks to Tissa the owner of the guest house who was able to take the time to listen the silence of the Nature and to discover all the beauty. It s finally for that I travel. Thank you again, if just for fun Tissa saw two elephants wading in the water without worrying about a non-tourist... More

I had travelled sometime in Nov 2010 but hadn't got down to writing this review. A year and half later and its still such an unpleasant memory. Unfortunately my horrible time at this hotel colored my entire experience of SriLanka .I was traveling alone and had come to Yala primarily to see the national park. The rooms at Hotel Tissa... More

Had a good stay here at Hotel Tissa. The room was big, clean and had air con and also a fan and well located. The food was nice too, although the Royal Restaurant just in the town was also very nice and cheap. Staff are helpful and friendly and put the TV on in your language when you have dinner.... More

Review of Hotel Tissa The hotel is situated off one of the main junctions at Tissa with a pharmacy across the road and two banks a few yards away. The accommodation that we were staying in was a long way back from the main road and very quiet except for the sound of the birds of which we saw many... More

Tissa hotel it's a small, centrally located property in Tissa. Rooms are basic but clean and in my opinion quite alright for a short stay (usual tourists pend 1-2 nights in Tissa for Yala safari). Rooms are large in size, aircon and spotless. The great feature of this property are the owners (and staff), friendly, welcoming and really with a... More
