Upon arriving at the Giritale, we were impressed. It had a nice open air lobby with a beautiful view of the lake, and welcome drinks were served. We enjoyed our stay until that point. Then we learned that there was no wifi - ok, we're used to that in Sri Lanka. But then they offered a internet-connected PC for $2USD/15... More

Overlooking the Giritale Tank (lake) it's a nicely located hotel with some lovely views. It was cloudy the night we stayed but I imagine the sunset over the lake is spectacular on a clear day. The room was bright and airy with nice furniture and a balcony overlooking the. Be wary though because in the room we stayed the people... More

The public areas a very stylish, nice reception, bar and relax area also great situated. Service was excellent. And belief it or not, they promise the best massage in the world and that was... More

This hotel is based within a driving distance to few must see sites such as Poneruwa, Sigiriya, Dambulla and Minneriya National Park for safari (elephants and bird watching). Food in the restaurant has been various and tasty for the two days we stayed there. Why would one want to stay there for longer any way? More
