Elepath Lodge Pinnawala

We booked this location because of the location and access to elephant river walk. It is a good budget stay and you can watch elephants walk by from balcony.

Needs to be upgraded

Просторный номер с балконом прямо над слонами

Плохая звукоизоляция

The room was lovely and clean. Bed comfortable. The bathroom was great. Location was great for viewing the elephants. Not much else around the area.

The balcony door was thin so you could hear the road and bikes. The breakfast was just ok. There was noise from the person staying near the outside steps. And banging on the roof for a short time on my first night.

Elephants are pathing near the hotel all day round and you can observe it fromyour balcony or cafe downstairs

It was a good place for the price! From the balcony you can see the elephants walking by, but you cannot see the river (bathing area) itself. Staff is very friendly. Amenities were okay - all what you need (towel, toilet paper, a kettle, 1 small bottle of water, 1 hand soap). You will need to bring your own shampoo, conditioner etc. If you are looking for a budget hotel, this is the right place. It is very close to a much more pricey hotel (better view), which has great view. So you can stay in Elepath Lodge, and dine across the road. Shopping (souvenirs, clothes) are right downstairs.

I was locked out at night because noone knew I was outside at 23:30. Perhaps a system could be introduced whereby a guest can hang a small board on the door that indicates that he/she is outside, so that the gates wouldn't be locked. Got back in by calling the hotline a few times.

La struttura semplice e pulita con doccia calda e tutte le comodità anche aria condizionata e terrazzo sulla via principale dove si possono vedere gli elefanti passare due volte al giorno.

It was a wonderful stay here! The people are very friendly. Perfect location close to the river and elephants ❤️

We had a wonderful stay at Elepath Lodge Pinnawala! The location is perfect—just a short walk to the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage and Zoo, which made our trip even more enjoyable. The staff provided excellent service throughout our stay and made us feel truly welcome. The Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious and served with genuine warmth and happiness, which added a special touch to our mornings. We booked a double room with a balcony, and it was very comfortable, clean, and relaxing—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Overall, Elepath Lodge offered us great hospitality, a convenient location, and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Pinnawala!

Близость к реке и расположение отеля, удобно наблюдать, как слоны идут купаться.

В номере было довольно грязно, дважды пропадала вода в ванной комнате,в кровати всю ночь кусали какие-то насекомые, завтрак очень средний. Но мы приезжали посмотреть на слонов, поэтому для одной ночевки допустимо.
