Everything. Couldn't fault anything. Great location right opposite the Elephant Orphanage. Staff were amazing. Food was excellent. Room was of a high standard with pool view. They list themselves as budget but this hotel exceeded all expectations. They arranged our safari to Udawalawe national Park at a good price. They also arranged our. transport on departure. Would highly recommend this hotel.
So, I've stayed at Hotel Athgira 5 times before. Never had a single complaint. This time the pool was being renovated so was moved to Athgira River camping.. Hotel Athgira is wonderful, I would have no hesitation going back .. but Athgira River Camping .. W O W! I usually stay for one night in Udawalawe to go on safari and visit the transit home .. I genuinely could have stayed at River Camping for a month. The whole team are warm and welcoming. The surroundings are idyllic .. quite literally the perfect place to forget your worries.. on arrival I took a video for my folks at home and a total stranger, on a sunbed around the pool (there are 2 of them!) .. just looked up and said to me "welcome to paradise" .. I can't say any more than that!
Great location , very clean, amazing staff
Staff were very kind and willing to help, with a smile.The pool was a good size and set in a garden area next to the room The food was plentiful and varied for our half board selection The elephant orphanage is across the road and safari’s easy to arrange via the hotel
Some training on cooking bacon, and a coffee machine would help.
Friendly, helpful staff - especially reception. Lovely pool. Good location to visit the national park.
Friendly and helpful staff .. good food and extra caring.
Need pay attention to bathrooms and ckeaning
Good breakfast and opposite the Elephant Transit Sanctuary. Organised an excellent safari to Udawalawe
Pool was very murky and did not appear to be cleaned on a daily basis. No hot water in the shower and no pressure. Very noisy bed
Pool was great, right outside the room. It got full sun all day so the water was nice and warm as well. Lots of birds in the trees, easy to feel like you were away from it all. Staff were very kind too. Air con was great as it was very hot during the day and still very warm at night.
The bed and doors were all very squeaky. Felt like I was waking up the neighbours by opening the bathroom door. Also, the room had very little storage for clothes. But otherwise, very comfortable.
very pleasant rooms and a great pool
the dark restaurant was full of mosquitoes and the menu was very limited.
