Even though we stayed here just one night, we loved it. Everything was great, except the bathrooms could be a bit newer. For western standard, you will be disappointed when you compare it to the rest of the hotel. Rooms have AC and fan so its very nice to sleep. Outside they have quite big swimming pool, which feels great... More

The property is definately more comfortable, affordable and clean. Situated slightly away from the main market, it works well for those who are tired of the day long sight seeing. The only setback is the restricted menu.

We started our stay in Sri Lanka with Hotel Sanda Diya in Dambulla. The hotel has a large, open campus facing rice fields away from the hustle and bustle of the main city. The rooms are quite spacious and well-maintained. The food (except for the breakfast), however is something you'd want to have outside of the hotel. It didn't taste... More

The best hotel I found during my 10 days in Sri Lanka.Good food and nice staff too.Evening walk to the village behind the hotel was very relaxing and nobody asked bon bon.I think they have to add extra light because you cant read in the room.

We enjoyed our 2 nights The quiet lane location and swimming pool were an oasis away from the heat and traffic noise. We were on half board and the food and service were good. The rooms were clean and the place well maintained. Happy to recommend.

We were here for 2 nights. The rooms are very large and very clean. We had a lot of insects creeping in and out, but the place is very beautiful and quiet. the menu spread though is very small and we had a tough time communicating with the boys. they could add a few more options to the breakfast menu....
