Riverbank Resort Gampola

Location, view, small size, swimming pool

Nothing we only stayed there one night

Stunning views and excellent hospitality. The manager helped sort a taxi for us, which ws extremely helpful. The cabana was beautiful, the pool very welcome after a long day. We had dinner and breakfast and both were plentiful, good quality and good value. Would highly recommend.

Nothing!

We loved this hotel. It was ideally located for us on a one night stopover from Sigiriya to Ella. We ate dinner in the restaurant and it was very tasty. The infinity pool was a bonus which our two teenagers enjoyed (a bit cold for me though!) The views from the balcony were awesome.

The pool was very cold.

Nice place with big rooms, comfy bed and great views. Food is delicious and service is great. What makes this place special and one of our favourites is the kindness and attention of the staff and their great hospitality. Hopefully we visit again soon!

All was perfect!

It was not bad, but not worth the money. The bathroom door was broken (The doors were installed completely the wrong way around, so they were getting stuck, and if you closed them while showering, they couldn’t be opened from the inside, only from outside) and the water flooded out during the shower. The food was nice, and so was the breakfast. The pool is nice, but don’t expect stunning beautiful views of nature. There is a huge building under construction just below the hotel. However, even though it is situated on the main road, the hotel was quiet and we slept well. The staff was not very friendly. We were even accused of stealing 2 towels, which I found very funny. :-) We had to show them the contents of our cabin-zero rucksacks from our rented tuk-tuk. The beach towels were even too big to fit inside our backpacks. I hope they found the towels after we left. :-)

Overall, it’s a very pleasant hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff is polite and ready to help with any request. Our neighbors were being noisy, but after a call to the reception, the issue was promptly resolved and the noise stopped. There is a beautiful view from the window, a decent breakfast, and a swimming pool. The hotel is located not far from Ambuluwawa Tower, in a quiet and peaceful area.
