My Wife & I travelled through Sri Lanka, spending 22 days in the Country. I have already reviewed two Hotels we stayed in: the Mt. Lavinia Hotel & the Cinnamon Grand. I thought it’s nothing but right that I review the rest. We stayed at the Mandara Rosen Hotel, Kataragama for two nights from 29 April to 1 May 2012.... More

The hotel is an average hotel! Spacious rooms but no "aaaahhhhhhh" effect! Clean enough bathrooms! Nice pool. The restaurant was bellow average, really! The lobby is so so.

A lot of the reviews are off putting but.......we were pleasantly surprised! greeting was pleasant and rooms spacious. We stayed for one night to visit the town and see the religious ceremonies. Only a 20 min walk from the hotel. Service was good but food average but adequate. If you come for just the ceremonies then 1 day is enough.

Marketed as a 4*, but when compared to others on the island this doesn't compare. Spacious rooms, with large bathrooms which are in good condition. The pool area is nice if a little small. The staff are pleasant. The food wasn't great but as we discovered bargainous compared to other buffet restaurants if you are like us, who were on... More

Rooms exceptionally large that we didn't need two rooms for us and the children. However, the rooms were a bit smelly and the food just about passable. We wouldn't recommend a long stay here, but just passing through it's okay.

The rooms are spacious and seem to have modern fiitings, until you take a look at the bathroom. The shower was extremely dirty and smelled bad; we had to ask for room freshener just to use it! The service at the restaurant was poor. They took over half an hour to bring our food and by the time everything was... More

Thankfully we had only one night here, on arrival, the grand gates and hotel entrance had our whole party of 15 pretty excited. The hotel presents well, and the rooms while spacious and modern looking had shocking beds, shonky exposed wiring hidden by furniture in our room, and to top it off the bathroom that looked pretty modern and should...

We stayed in this hotel for one night only after our visit to Yala National Park. the service was very slow and we were not even welcomed properly by the staff. The service was very slow and we had to wait for more than 30 minutes to receive our food in the room. Even when we ordered a French fries... More
