⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

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.

We LOVED every second at Kandalama Lodge!! The hotel is absolutely stunning with a great pool for swimming. The rooms are clean and the outdoor bathroom was one of our highlights. It is one of the best places we ever stayed in with the friendliest staff on earth. Everyone was so kind, explaining a lot of interesting things about Sri Lanka, the food etc! The manager of the hotel is such a friendly guy, we felt at home immediately! An absolute must go if you would like to discover the area around Dambulla!

Our stay at the Hotel Awaken was fantastic. We got some welcome drinks on our arrival and had a nice homemade curry for dinner in the evening. Asanka and his family have been really welcoming and helpful in every regard. We even got a free Tuktuk ride to the cave temple in Dambulla and Asanka drove us to the bus station the next morning and helped us hopping on the AC bus to Kandy. The room is very modern, sparkling clean and comfy. We would definitely recommend this place. Thank you Asanka!

Fantastic value for money budget hotel in centre of Dambulla, but down a quiet road. The deluxe room was very spacious with a comfortable bed and hot pump shower (quite rare in Sri Lanka!) Breakfast was incredibly generous - lots of fruit and baked goods. The manager is so helpful. He’ll sort you out with wherever you want to go or whatever you need. Rooms are basic but have everything you need.

The owners are very helpful and kind, the property is organized and clean, and above all, the advice and organization of the owner, Chandi, are superb!!! I highly recommend it: Hotel Gala Addara is a reference point for seeing the attractions of Dambulla quickly and at a fair price.
