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

This hotel has amazing views over a lake, and a lovely pool and verandah area. Food was only ok, standard ubiquitous Sri Lanka buffet of local curry and attempts at some western dishes like pasta bolognese. Our room was in the lower part of the hotel, and it smelled very damp. The aircon didnt work too well and we had... More

Very good hotel with large and clean rooms. Good buffet with both international and local food. But the best part of this hotel is the stunning views you have from the pool or from the terrace! 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

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
