Hotel River Front

The hotel fully met our expectations, with a tidy and cozy environment. The town has restaurants and shops nearby, so everything you need is close at hand. Yala National Park is also nearby, and the hotel staff arranged a car for our visit to the park. We received a renovated room that had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were helpful and attentive.

Our travel companions were given a room in the non-renovated part of the hotel, so their experience was a bit less positive— a worn room with a lack of power outlets. Overall, the stay was nice and comfortable, but the quality of the rooms varies.

Das Personal war super nett - vor allem der Restaurant-Kellner. Das Essen war auch sehr lecker und die Kinder hatten viel Spaß!

We stayed here for our Yala Safari. The place was beautiful and the staff was very nice. They prepared breakfast for us, as we had a really early start.

All staff was very welcoming, kind and helpful. Welcome drink was so refreshing! The room was perfectly clean and large offering a lot of space for a family of 4. The bathroom was brand new with a huge walk in shower, great water pressure. Kids enjoyed the pool a lot. Breakfast was delicious.

Great pool, food at the restaurant was good, the staff were super helpful, the safari they organised was also really good.

Nothing obvious

Mooi hotel, van alle faciliteiten voorzien. Aardig, hard werkend personeel. Kamer was mooi en groot, zo ook de badkamer. Bedden sliepen zeer goed!

Friendly and welcoming staff. Very smart and well kept family run hotel with a good swimming pool. Excellent food - very impressed with presentation of food - impressive cook. Good place to stay for a Yala safari, and much cheaper than staying at a hotel in the park itself. Recommended.

Nothing.

La limpieza, el personal súper atento, buena ubicación para visitar el parque nacional de Yala.

First of all, the location is ok, the staff is ok, everything is ok and we are satisfied with the room and cleanliness.

Before we arrived, we already had the communication via booking messenger about the distance from the hotel to Yala NP and the safari price. The manager said the hotel is just 20mins away from the NP. Which is not true, in the morning there was no traffic it was 35 mins. In the afternoon with traffic , the guide drives like a crazy man for 50 mins We started our tour at 5am. We arrived at the entrance ticket office 5.35am. But the driver let us waited in the jeep for 45 mins without telling us what to do and why? We see all the jeeps who came later than us, already left? Their driver guide just took about 10 mins to buy tickets..what happened to our guide? The manager said because the guide need to collect the tracker? But other guide.dont need to collect tracker? And we didn't see he has any tracker anyway. When we ask the guide when he is back, he was mentioning something about the government which we don't understand what he meant. The take away breakfast to the Safari is a joke. We had so many days in Sri Lankan this is the worst breakfast ever. 2 pieces of very dry thin egg sandwich. One piece of very dry butter cake, 2 small bananas and one choc drink and one bottle of water for two of us to share. I don't expect a gourmet breakfast but the sandwich and cake is super dry which is not edible. Another point, when we check in. We paid the room and safari USD$140 for private. The change is just USD$5, the manager need to go to somewhere to change for just $5? At night, my husband had the dinner at the hotel. The next day, he paid the dinner. Again, the manager knowing we are chrck out and will pay the dinner. They don't even have any money for change? And end up, the change is less, so in another words is like a force tipping? It this by purpose ? So my advise is nothing wrong with the hotel as a property, the other cleaning staff are very hard working too. The only one who causing the problem is the manager.
