Very friendly and helpful staff and a lovely setting. Happy to arrange tours, taxis etc. The restaurant area on the edge of the forest away from the main road meant it was quieter than other hotels but still walkable to the sites.

10/10. The hotel is VERY clean and you can see they work really hard to make sure of that. Our host was very helpful, booking a trip for us to see a cultural dance and organising our transport/negotiating a good price for the journey for us. Very nice breakfast too. Would 100% recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful stay at The Hungry Lion! The rooms are very clean and spacious, as are the common areas. The location is perfect: only a short walk to all of the restaurants and shops. Breakfast was incredible, by far the best we’ve had on our trip. The staff were very accommodating and cheerful. We will definitely be back. 10 out of 10 !

Very good value. Very handy location for accessing the lions rock. The breakfast was excellent. Somewhat dated rooms , and there was an opening in window which I filled with toilet paper to stop mosquitoes. Otherwise ,no issues. Would definitely stay again.

Most amazing hotel stay i’ve ever had! The staff is so helpful and accommodating. They arranged our spa and night safari excursions as well as being available to drive us where we needed. They really made this stay unforgettable and we’re truly so thankful for how comfortable they made us feel. It felt like they really cared about us enjoying our time in Sigiriya The breakfast was delicious, and made with so much care and attention. I really could not recommend this place enough, thank you hungry lion!! What a great place to start our honeymoon with!

Best place we stayed

The best place in Sigirya! We loved the place and extended 2 times our stay because it’s so comfortable! The rooms are big and clean it was perfect for what we needed. The breakfast is include and the plates are amazing lots of food and very tasty. Also the people who works here are helpful, nice and kind heart person. The chef even made us a 5 stars diner and let us stay in the kitchen to show us how some of the dishes are made. Location is also ideal very close from everything.

We loved our stay at the Hungry Lion - super close to the Sigiriya rock (we walked). The nicest thing is the location and friendly atmosphere. For a budget accommodation the room was clean and fresh, a few ants in the bathroom but no big deal. Air con was great -3 restaurants to walk to. A rustic stay in a beautiful location for seeing wildlife. This was one the best parts of our trip and would love to have stayed longer so much wildlife at the location we saw 2 hornbills and elephants on the road on our drive out. Thank you to the lovely people there and we did like your dogs x

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The ‘resort’ is a dump - poorly lit, threadbare and torn towels, rooms with just the bare necessities, and no restaurant on site ( at least when we were there). A thin sheet metal door separates the bathroom from the guest room, and furnishings are bare, to say the least. But then, one gets what one pays for…..

Very nice place. Simple. Nothing fancy. Great for backpackers. The staff is very helpful. I think they are not always on site but easily reachable by whatsapp and quick to respond. The breakfast was excellent. We were able to walk to sigiriya rock. There are some good dining options nearby. The road is a bit dangerous to walk on at night because of traffic.

This hotel is in sigiriya which is a village type community near Sigiriya Rock. So you don't expect facilities you might find in a large city. The room was spacious safe and quiet. There was no fridge or tv which was fine. There are no supermarkets in this area but there were adequate dining options nearby. The hotel was perfectly comfortable for a short stay in Sigiriya.

日本人旅行者です。シギリヤの雰囲気とよく合う綺麗な宿でした。庭が花で一杯でとても絵になります。お部屋も綺麗で広かったです。朝食はフレキシブルに対応いただいたし、ボリュームもたっぷりでした。スタッフも話しやすくて良かったです。 シギリヤロックの入口（メインではない方？）の目の前だったので早朝徒歩でシギリヤロックに行けました。ロケーションもバッチリでした。ダンブッラなどの他都市行きのバスもホテル前から乗れるのでその点も便利でした。安心して泊まれると思います！
