Queens Ark

Perfektní velký pokoj, čistý, paní nám půjčila baterky na výstup na Adams peak a uvařila na ráno čaj. Skvělé místo na výstup na Adams peak. Pak nám domluvila i tuk tuk za výhodnou cenu.

The staff at this place are some of the kindest people i have had the pleasure of meeting. They made sure that we were comfortable at our time there. The food was amazing and we were never left without tea/coffee. If you are climbing Adam's Peak then you have to stay here.

nothing to not like!

The host renuka didi is best...... And the food aslo Its a very good place to stay

Unfortunately, we were not able to stay at this property due to a hosts’ unexpected event. We would like to have been informed a little earlier, but understand that it may have not been possible. Nonetheless, the host’s family arranged a night for us in a nearby hotel and everything went okay. You can walk from the accommodation to the start of Adams Peak/Sri Pada trail.

The entrance to Queens Ark property is a little tricky to find. It would be nice to receive more detailed instructions on how to find the property previously.

During our Sri Pada hike, we descended to Nallathanniya from Udamaliboda , completely exhausted and drenched from the heavy rain. It was quite late in the evening when we made our booking, but the host was extremely supportive and gave both my sister and me a warm welcome, which we truly appreciated. The room exceeded our expectations spacious, clean, and equipped with hot water. The bathroom was also clean and tidy. We were able to get a good rest here after the long journey. The rate was very reasonable for two people. Highly recommended for any tired hikers looking for comfort and kindness after a tough trail.

Nothing.

Queens Ark is the perfect place to stay if you want to climb Adam’s Peak. The beds are very comfortable. However, you can hear some noise from the building itself, so earplugs are recommended if you are a light sleeper. The shower and toilet are excellent, and everything is spacious and spotlessly clean. The owner is incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely interested. We even played a game with him. Don’t be put off by the entrance: like many buildings in Sri Lanka, the hotel is partly under construction. You have to walk through what looks like a construction site, but once inside, everything is perfectly arranged. We had dinner at the hotel twice, and the food was delicious – especially the curry. Breakfast was great too, with a tasty omelet. Tips for climbing Adam’s Peak A warning: do not attempt the climb during the weekend. We encountered a traffic jam close to the summit and had to turn back after three hours. If you notice a traffic jam (ask people coming down when you are near the top), take the detour at the large Buddha statue to the right. This will add about twenty minutes to your climb but will bring you straight to the summit. The main route leads to the temple first, not directly to the top. Tip: you can easily find the detour route on the Maps.me app. We left at 2:15 a.m. and took about 3.5 hours to reach the top. Bring some toilet paper and a warm sweater. You don't need to carry too much water, as you can buy it along the way. After returning, Nimal prepared a wonderful breakfast for us, and we enjoyed four hours of well-deserved sleep. In the evening, we had another delicious meal. Highly recommended

Be aware that you can easily hear departing guests through the echoing hallway, so earplugs are recommended if you are a light sleeper.
