Hotel Athgira

The staffs were amazing, the place was spotless clean!

La posizione e la gentilezza dello staff. Nella struttura era saltata la corrente e ci hanno prontamente trasferiti in un’altra struttura di loro proprietà

So convenient! Right across from the elephant transit center and close to the national park entrance. Nice small pool and attentive staff.

We chose this hotel because it was opposite the Elephant Transit centre and relatively close to the Udawalawe National park. Our room was very clean and tidy but did smell of cigarette smoke despite being a non smoking room. I concluded that this was because guest are allowed to smoke on the rooms balcony (there was an ashtray on the balcony table) and they might have left the doors open. The bathroom was spacious and clean and the shower pressure was really good. Meals were good and staff were friendly.

This hotel lists Airport shuttle as a service but in reality, they are just organising a local driver to take you to the airport (which is about 3-4 hours depending on the route you take) and the hotels quoted cost was double what Uber and the Taxi company quoted. This was a bit disappointing as other hotels shuttle service has always been either free or low cost.
