Queens Ark

The welcome and service were great. Very caring and kind. We were welcomed with tea and asked if we wanted dinner. When we left to hike Adam’s Peak at 2am, there was coffee ready and also a packed lunch of toasties and bananas.

The hotel is a work-in-progress. It's on a hill with a bunker style entrance with no reception. You might seem like you've made a mistake in booking but rest assured once you arrive they will go above and beyond to make your stay a very pleasant one. We chose it for the location and it's proximity to Adams Peak. Only about 400 meters to the start. The staff very friendly. They're a small family run inn with everyone going over and above to make your stay as comfortable possie and they do it with a smile. Nimal, his wife, brother and other staff are a great team of hospitable people. The food was very tasty and flavourful. We had all 3 meals in the two days we stayed whilst climbing Adams peak and they made sure the food was served hot and I felt like I was having home cooked meals. Sri lankan food was done well. The sandwiches were simple but enjoyable and filling. The curries were thick and flavourful. They weren't stingy on ingredients and portion sizes either. The toilets are new and elegantly designed with good hot water. I'm very fussy about the bathrooms being clean and also pleasing to the eye and I was not disappointed.

It lacks amenities and the rooms are very basic but the beds are comfortable . I know they're working hard to complete the project and will eventually be a great place to stay if you plan on climbing Adams peak.

The rooms was big&comfy but the building is under construction. It was not bothering us, but someone could be. Good point to start the voyage to Adam's peak.

Clean spacious rooms.

Excellent host Nimal.

It's a really good please for visiting Adams Peak. The host is really helpful and friendly. I can really recommend.

Dinner and water are little bit expensive
