Room and bathroom are spacious, stylish and comfortable. Feels separate from the outside world like in the middle of the jungle (but isn't really, in fact the main road is only a minute's walk away). Lovely garden with a clean swimming pool, and very tasty breakfast!

They are a new hotel i was maybe their 5 th guest. It is pretty close to sigriya. The hotel had great view of sigriya rock from its breakfast place. It had a warm pool which was great after the lions rock hike. Most importantly the stuffs were welcoming and always ready to help us with anything with a smile. Their fresh juices and breakfast sweets are to die for. One important thing since they are new so they dont accept credit card still so please carry LKR.

We spent two nights at the lion gate hotel. We were warmly welcomed by Bernard and his team on arrival and felt very comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. Bernard organized everything for us, whether it was a tuktuk, lion rock, safari in the minneriya national park or transfer to kandy. The breakfast was brilliant and very rich. In addition, you can have a very tasty lunch and dinner. The accommodation is very clean and well maintained, we would definitely book the accommodation again!

Superb - What previous guests thought, 80 reviews
Our stay at Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort in Sigiriya was an incredibly rejuvenating and memorable experience. The resort is surrounded by lush, beautiful grounds, and we spent hours watching the playful monkeys, which were a delight to see. The environment itself was peaceful and tranquil, a perfect backdrop for our Ayurvedic journey. The staff were outstanding—every person we interacted with was attentive, kind, and genuinely caring. They treated us like royalty, ensuring we were well taken care of at all times. A particularly thoughtful touch was the fresh, refreshing drinks made for us by the bar men, which were perfect for the warm weather. We were also treated to a surprise breakfast in the tree house, which was an unforgettable experience, made even more magical by the beautiful setting and delicious food. We also enjoyed a fantastic evening on the lawn, where we had dinner while watching the Sri Lankan cultural show and enjoying the bonfire. It was a beautiful way to experience the local culture and a great addition to our stay. The Ayurvedic food was nourishing and, while it took me a day or two to adjust to the food and flavours, I felt fantastic after enjoying the meals. The only minor repetition was with some of the fruit, but the overall quality of the food was exceptional. During my brief period of being unwell, the doctor, nurses, and therapists were incredibly attentive and supportive. The Dr ensured I received the right care, offering advice, medication, and reassurance that I could reach out for help if needed. The therapists were wonderful, but it would have been even better to have a few more staff to offer a broader variety of techniques. Additionally, we would have appreciated more explanation about the powders and oils being applied during treatments, as understanding their benefits would have enhanced the experience.

Amazing place to spend time while you are in Sigiriya! We came here for 1 night to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I was a bit nervous because I wanted to prepare a surprise for her with birthday cake, flowers, romantic dinner and I was not sure if I will be able to organize everything remotely. But Thilini and Madu from reception made everything possible! They helped me so much to organize everything and together with Piyasiri they took care of us during this day! This was amazing! These people of the best services we have ever had! Also, thanks for Kumara and Dalsi for delicious food! Our room was big and comfortable. There is also scenic pool with direct view to Sigiriya rock. We took some nice photos here. Make sure to come early for the sunrise, because this is popular photo spot for hotel visitors. If you are tired after hiking to Sigiriya rock and the second rock (don’t remember name), we truly recommend you to visit the SPA in this hotel. This was a perfect time after early morning hikes) Once again, this place super amazing with great service, you will not regret! Piyasiri, Thilini, Madu a you are the best, many thanks for you!

Great and very friendly staff in all departments of the hotel. The hotel’s very own naturalists are brilliant and are assisting with everything you need for a successful trip or excursion - water, juices, soft drinks and cool refreshing towels are always part of the service. We enjoyed the big pool for all hotel guests as well as our private pool next to the room which helped us to feel really relaxed. The hotel is a true sanctuary and we enjoyed the nature and natural sounds every second of our stay. A minimum 3 nights stay is highly recommended to have enough time to discover the historic places and the nature in this part of Sri Lanka as well as to relax on property (we stayed 4 nights).

It is a beautiful hotel in the middle of jungle with a view for Sigiriya. The place is calm, green, tranquil and full of animals. You open the door to your room and you feel like you enter the jungle. Little huts with unique design make this place cosy and give very positive vibe. Pool has an amazing view for the lion rock and it’s a perfect place to rest and chill. Staff is very helpful, friendly and always has a smile for you. Breakfast is amazing, plenty of options and a nice mix of western and Sri Lankan food. I will definitely be back and it’s so amazing it’s worth to travel here only for this place. In the greenery and with the sounds of jungle you can really relax and rest.

Noel constantly went above the call of duty and is a massive asset to the hotel. A special word of thanks also to our attentive and punctual porter, Sasika, who took great care of us.

The villas are very modern but sympathetic to the surroundings and so spacious. AC was very efficient. And the bathroom!!! Loved it, especially the outdoor shower. Since our last visit some of the villas now have pools overlooking the lake. I'm so glad we decided to go with one of these rooms. The staff and Mr Nimal all went out of their way to be helpful.

Lions rock is great, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lions rock is great, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed for two nights in the end as we got to sigiriya late. This meant we ate dinner one night at the little hut which wass great, climbed the rock, then moved on to the habarana which was also interesting to wander and eat.

The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile.

The hotel’s atmosphere is peaceful and charming, with a great balance between modern comfort and natural surroundings. The food was delicious and freshly prepared, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the service.

A beautiful place on earth that there are lots of 360 degree view points. But if it rains it will ruin your plans. So make sure you depend on weatherly and visit Matale when it shows many continuous sunny days. Even on cloudy forecasts do not visit as all mointain tops then will be covered and you will not see the sights. when it is humid leaches also will be active and will become a painful experience.

We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

I’ll never forget the day we spent climbing Sigiriya.

I’ll never forget the day we spent climbing Sigiriya. And no wonder such a wonderful World Heritage Site kept popping up everywhere: Test it against the massive old fortress, the gorgeous frescoes, and images taken of landscapes from the summit, and there you’ll pick one of Sri Lanka’s greatest treasures. Not an easy or casual climb but certainly one that throws panoramic views so very far worth it and lucid into history at every step. Water gardens at the bottom quite worth a visit. One has to get there at dawn to avoid numerous tourists and scorching sun. Thus, in general, Sigiriya is a combination of artistic creation, engineering work of antiquity, and a miracle of nature, and a must-see site in Sri Lanka.

Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.
