Impress Holiday Home

This is located in a very free and quiet place near the Tissa Lake. It is indeed a better guest than we expected. The fee is also very low. But there are all the necessary facilities. There is a lot of space in the room. The bathroom and rooms are all clean. You can also get delicious, clean food from them at a very reasonable price. You can also rent tuk & bike from them. Highly recommend for your stay.

Food and room.

Distance is more from the bus stand. Tuk tuk drivers refuse to come as the location is in a remote place. Tuk tuk drivers charge around 800 to 1000, which is equal to the room tarrif. Owner/ staff doesn't understand English hence suitable only for people knowing Sinhala language.

Helpful owner, Honest person, a room can sleep 4 guests (sleep only, not to stay inside for long time as it is bit tight for 4 to hang around), close to temples, calm and quiet place, meals provided for extra cost. Tea and one meal (breakfast) was given free for our old parents. We were offered late checkout by the owner for no extra cost. Clean and big house with a kitchen (but you live with a Lady). We booked 3 rooms and stayed 2 nights. Price is reasonable. We had one breakfast which was good. Early leaving or late night get back was ok which helped us to travel around. Recommend this place if you are a traveler during the day and wants a place to sleep at night as we did.

Talk to the owner for fees and meals, not with the Lady (owner's sister?) at the premises as she tries to exploit, one meal (fish) per person was Rs380 before ordering which increased to Rs480 by this Lady, when we came to have it . We didnt argue. But later she gave us some rice and let use her kitchen to prepare it for the offering to the temple next day. Aircon usage attracts Rs1500 extra per night per room and it is also available in one room only. Hot water facility (which is also not a must in the area) is available in one room only. Water flow in the toilet floor is awkward (in the above room) and you need to sweep it away. Kitchen usage is for a fee. You get the basic room (which is good for the price) and everything else is for an extra charge. No towels or toiletries provided.

The service is friendly, and the facilities are value for the money. The location is convenient, though the entry road not so much good. It’s also close to all the main historical sites. We enjoyed the stay.
