EKHO Sigiriya - 700 meters to Sigiriya Rock

An absolute gem of a hotel in a brilliant location. Staff were all incredibly kind throughout. We stayed for 6 nights and used Sigiriya as a base to go on an elephant safari, to Polonnoruwa, to Anaradhapura, to Dambulla caves, to climb Lion Rock and Pidurangula, to see Loris's and go on an evening boat trip and this was the perfect place to stay to do all of those as day trips and shorter excursions. The pool area is beautiful, shaded by trees and great to escape the heat of the day, we used it every day. The restaurant area is lovely, with calm live music playing in the evenings, and great food and drinks (we also had the breakfast included and this was very nice). But it is also right next to the restaurants in Sigiriya, which are literally a 2 minute walk. There is an ATM 200m down the road and the post office is 400m away. Apparently most people only stay in Sigiriya for a night or two but with the hotel being so tranquil and welcoming, we found it was the perfect place to base ourselves. We honestly couldn't see why others weren't staying for longer. All the staff made us extremely welcome throughout. Thank you very much for a great stay to all the staff, this really was a home away from home.

Beautiful hotel near the entrance to the rock. Good buffet breakfast and dinner. Lovely, clean rooms. Staff were very friendly. There are loads of bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk. Sigiriya has a really cool, laid back vibe to it. Worth a visit whether you're climbing Lion Rock or Pidurangala Rock just a place to chill for a couple of days.

We arrived earlier than expected and they allowed us to have early check in at limited notice. We were super tired from our flight so this was very much appreciated in the moment so we could get some sleep. The service and general attentiveness of all the staff was impeccable - truly an enjoyable stay! Plus the food was delicious! Thank you to Nilakshi, Udesh and all the team at EKHO Sigiriya :)

After some confusion with the rooms - they weren't quite what I was expecting - the staff bent over backwards to ensure we had everything we needed and were happy, which we were.

We had a great experience. Lovely and quiet place, good breakfast, very close to restaurants and Lions Rock. We were travelling with our 5 yo son and we had an unexpected extra bed in the room as a courtesy, nice touch. The staff do their best to make you feel comfortable. Kasum was very kind and profesional, and helped us a lot to organize our safari and taxi to our next destination. Recommended.
