After having spent 10 days in Sri Lanka, this was one of our favourite resort. Each place is a bungalow that is split in two. The bathrooms are outside which added too the ambiance. Yes, there are ant trails on the bathroom walls but they will not change their ant trail unless you disturbed them. Great food and close to... More

First two days we stayed in Kassapa Lions Rock hotel since we were scheduled to do visits to the cultural triangle. The hotel is more of a resort with rooms well spread out, one all day dining restaurant, lots of trees all around, little farm which provides the hotel fresh gourd and a swimming pool with real friendly staff.

Kassapa Lions Rock is in a great location if you are planning to visit the Lions Rock. We were overall impressed with the hotel, clean rooms, lovely bathroom with a semi outdoors shower, nice refreshing swimming pool to cool off in. The hotel also has bikes that can be hired, we went for a leisurely afternoon ride around the country... More

Conveniently located with great views of Lions Rock. Warm welcome, great hospitality and service. Rooms are clean, comfortable and individual lodge style gives a sense of privacy. The staff at the hotel could not have been more helpful and polite, the manager and head waiter quite special. The main dining facility is open plan giving a light and airy feeling... More

If you are looking for an in-town location close to shops, restaurants and nightlife, this is not the venue for you. Kassapa Lions Rock Hotel is located off the main highway, down a side street, to the dirt road, and tucked in a jungle. However, if you want a tranquil atmosphere with good food, nice amenities, and top-rate service, this... More

Lions Rock is a very convenient place to overnight (or longer) when you are travelling further North (Trinco say) and takes the pain out of an otherwise very long road trip. It is quite close to Sigiriya and Lion Rock and is a real surprise when you have accessed by a country road. Serendipidy indeed! The individual bungalows have modern... More

It's hard to know what to make of this place; the secluded location, next to a small village and down a dirt track road suggests you might be roughing it, but the 5-star arrival, with delicious mango juice and candle lighting, suggests otherwise. The service here can be amazing when it's something the staff are trained in. The cottages themselves... More

Good place to stay if you're going to Sigiriya Rock but not walking distance to any shops or restaurants. However hotel buffet definitely makes up for this. We were even serenaded by a calypso band from Kandy! Nice pool area. Massive bathroom with semi open-air shower and comfortable rooms overall. Very much enjoyed our 2 night stay.

We came to kassapa after 10 days in smaller hotels on the south coast and having made our own arrangements. Very open plan and tranquil setting, nice pool, generous comfortable rooms, good food. On the downside we found our request for transport quotes evasive and subsequently too high through the hotel. In the end this was resolved by calling myself... More
