Hotel River Front

This is our favorite place we stayed in Sri Lanka! Even better than a lodge we stayed at for a private safari that cost us $200 a night! This place was PERFECT! The breakfast was my favorite, the pool was perfect for our son, and the family was so nice. I wish we could have stayed here much longer. We were so comfortable and could not have asked for a better time. I really wanted typical Sir Lankan food, and they went out of their wayt o make sure we had that. Best place ever!
United States of AmericaThis is a “Gem in the Jungle”. Family operated. Exceptionally clean. Access to the pool was an added bonus. The staff are amazing!! They were very helpful, responsive and kind. The restaurant food was wonderful!
United Arab EmiratesNice pool with chill area, one room was significantly better than second room despite booking the same rooms. Great breakfast. Food good quality.
Czech RepublicSuper modern and really comfortable place. We had to cancel one of our nights and leave early, but they were very accomodating and refunded one night. I wish we'd stayed longer though, the pool is great and the room was fantastic. Staff is also very friendly and helpful.
JordanSpacious and clean room, polite staff, hot water in the bathroom. Provided us safari which was also good the guide knew the area of national park very well and was telling us about each animal there. However, I want to warn you that do not expect to see leopard like you can see it in zoo. You should be very lucky
KazakhstanThe staff at Hotel River Front is 100% the reason you should stay here! They arranged our transport from Mirissa, and to Ella. Booked our full day safari and sent us with a packed breakfast. We ate dinner at the restaurant at the hotel and it was so good and affordable too! Their safari guide was great, we saw 2 bears and 2 leopards along with elephants and everything else we’d hoped to see. This is a perfect place to stay to safari in Yala.
United States of AmericaNice room, nice staff and excellent food. They also provided safari. the driver was awesome. highly recommended hotel.
BangladeshThe staff was great and very attentive. The room was beautiful and clean. The bed was super comfy! My balcony was nice, it faced the pool.... And oh yes, the pool :D the pool was the best part for me. I wanted to stay an extra day just to relax at the pool more (which I wasn't able to because they were fully booked BUT they got me a deluxe room with a discounted price at their sister hotel, Hotel Elephant Eye, which was right across the road, and had a nicer bathroom, equally ok food, but slightly less comfortable pool arrangement). The pool at Hotel River Front was clean, so refreshing!, and had comfortable beds and towels. The dining area near the pool was lovely too.
United States of AmericaStaff is very good and friendly, manager Eranda is very helpful and nice, made sure my stay was comfortable. Room is big and clean, felt fresh. Hotel food is good, not pricy, big meals. Hotel helped with arrangements in further travels. It's a good option to stay if you are on budget and plan to visit Yala park.
Chinavery nice place and friendly helpful stuff! we can highly recommend this hotel!
