⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay at Hotel Golden Ray!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay at Hotel Golden Ray! My experience at Hotel Golden Ray was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a perfect space to relax after exploring Dambulla. The hotel’s atmosphere is peaceful and charming, with a great balance between modern comfort and natural surroundings. The food was delicious and freshly prepared, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the service. I highly recommend Hotel Golden Ray to anyone visiting Dambulla — it’s a perfect place for both leisure and business stays. I’ll definitely return on my next visit! 🌿✨

We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.

From Dambulla, you’re just a short drive from the majestic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, and the sacred ruins of Anuradhapura.

With its central location, Dambulla is the ideal base for exploring these cultural wonders, while also providing a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. Whether you're into history, culture, or simply breathtaking landscapes, Dambulla is the best place to start your journey through Sri Lanka’s rich heritage.

I loved everything they have amazing vibe, nothing was to much trouble . All staff kind and helpful. Dambulla is quiet but has local shops, cafes Pizza Hut, great small restaurant a few miles from Evergreen serving very good food. It's run by the people who run Evergreen. So recommended by me.. Anything you want to do or go and see will be arranged for you Tuk Tuk guy is a staff member . If you need car/driver it will be arranged.

The hotel is very quiet, even though it’s close to the bus station in Dambulla. The garden and pool area are very nice and perfect for relaxing. Our room was lovely, clean, brand new, and equipped with a western-style bathroom, which was very comfortable. We booked a deluxe room, located in the new building. There are also rooms available in the older building. The new building is still partially under construction, but it did not bother us at all. The staff was very friendly and considerate, making our stay as enjoyable as possible.

A wonderful oasis in a peaceful lane outside Dambulla but only a few minutes bike ride / walk into town or to the temple. We loved the stylish decor, the spacious wet room and the wonderful Japanese garden with monkeys and squirrels visiting the feeders. The staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us, organising tuktuks for our visit to Pidurangala and Pophams. The Hotel was spotless and really well looked after and the Sri Lanka curry dinner was perfect for us.

The best hotel we found in Sri Lanka. Lovely rooms, beautiful location and great pool, even with a swim-up bar. 500m to the wonderful Dambulla Royal Cave Temple and within easy distance of Siguriya. Superb staff, especially Anu and Siddu.
