During our two and a half week trip through Sri Lanka, the Lion Gate Hotel was the best accommodation we stayed in. Bernard gave us a very warm welcome and provided us with a wonderful stay in an oasis of well-being. During our trip, the search for small, authentic and nice accommodation was unfortunately somewhat difficult. The Lion Gate Hotel ultimately met all our expectations and not only did we have a great starting point for our activities around Sigiriya but also a place where we really enjoyed going to simply relax. The rooms are very nice, the facilities are new and modern. The service should be emphasized. Any type of requests were fulfilled immediately. I can highly recommend staying at Lion Gate Hotel.

Bernhard and his team made our stay an unforgettable one! They were always very accommodating and absolutely helpful. The breakfast was always very tasty. The room was also absolutely clean and in top condition. Bernhard organized a safari in Kaudulla National Park for us through his friends, but also arranged tuk tuks several times at very fair prices. He also gave us great tips for excursions. You can really rely on his knowledge because all these excursions are second to none. We would definitely come again!

Nothing to not like.

The hotel has only been open for a few months and it's such great value for money. At present there are only four rooms so it has a boutique feel to it. The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. The pool area is very clean (they clean it often) . However what makes it outstanding is Bernard, the manager! Nothing was too much trouble for him. He was always attentive, making sure we were happy, helping with taxis and giving great recommendations. He was amazing with my children too. He's a real asset to this hotel!

Although breakfast was available, there was not a restaurant on site. There are however many available a short distance away.

Very clean and the location was excellent. The pool was wonderful and refreshing after a long day in the sun! The hotel staff, especially Bernard were so accommodating.

Great new hotel with a big pool. Staff is very attentive. On request, they prepared a tasty dinner for us. The hotel has a nice size with only few rooms and not too many guests.

The place is very new and that is noticeable in all the details. Very spacious rooms, the AC is a blessing during hot days, the pool is new and well kept. Not to mention the location (only 5 min drive to Sigiriya). The owner is very helpful and open to feedback, he is truly interested in the guests' having a great experience. He offered us valuable suggestions for when to visit Sigiriya & Pidurangala, and he was absolutely right, so do listen to him 😁👌. The breakfast was rich and delicious on both days. The staff was attentive, so overall we had a wonderful stay. Definitely recommend!

Probably the best accommodation we had during our 3-week trip in Sri Lanka. Bernard and the other staff was really helpful. The rooms are clean, big and the overall hotel feels very private with only 4 rooms. Big and daily cleaned pool, however more sunbeds would be nice. Breakfast is also great!

Nothing! It was a great hotel!

Brand new hotel, really clean, great sized room, comfy bed, lovely food and amazing staff. Bernard was an amazing host, helping us with tours to lions rock, dinner and transport to our next location. He went over and above every time he interacted with us. The other boys that worked there were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Would stay here again and again!

Really nice hotel with modern and clean rooms. Bernard was very helpful, offering to organise any tours / tuk tuk hire for our sunrise hike. Great value for money

Electricity outages can happen but the host will do everything in their power to resolve it as soon as possible.

A newly opened hotel featuring clean, spacious rooms and a large swimming pool. It offers great showers, air-con and Wi-Fi, and is conveniently located near restaurants and shops. The host, Bernard, is incredibly friendly and helpful, always going out of his way to assist. Would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Sigiriya.

We liked how clean it was, not every place in Sigiriya is this clean. Great service provided by staff, great driver and very kind restaurant servant and manager. The food was very delicious. All in all we enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend it.

The resort is brand new having only opened March 9th 2024 and all the facilities are exceptionally clean and modern. Our stay was very comfortable and the large swimming pool was perfect after a hot day of climbing the Lions rock and visiting the ancient city, both of which are very close to the resort. The staff are highly motivated and helped us with all our needs. I highly recommend this place.

Literally the best hotel in Sri Lanka for our 3 weeks trip. Just opened in mid-march '24 (we were first booking.com guests) - all equipment and supplies are brand new and good quality. Nice clean & pure design of rooms. Good breakfast. Excellent pool. Definitely worth the money. Best recommendations.
