Roo Mansala is a small six-room hotel set in a quiet countryside spot just a short drive from Sigiriya.
This small and incredibly friendly hotel boasts magnificent views of both Sigiriya Rock and neighbouring Pidurangala Rock, and offers a swimming pool, restaurant and guided nature trails. The views from the hotel are spectacular looking out over Sigiriya Rock, renowned for its iconic 5th-century fortress, as well as neighbouring Pidurangala Rock, a lesser-visited site which offers glorious vistas of Sigiriya Rock from its summit.
Roo Mansala’s six bedrooms are bright and spacious, with the ground floor rooms leading straight out to the garden whilst the upper floor rooms each have a balcony with direct views of the imposing rocks. This is a relaxing spot in a great location, and whilst the property isn't luxurious, it's a great standard.
What we love
- Small and intimate, this property has just six rooms
- The views are impressive
- It's good value compared to some of the more luxurious options nearby
- We like the friendly and informal service
- It's very well located for Sigiriya
- There's a pool
- We get great feedback from our clients
We wouldn't say this is a super stylish property, it's more charming, practical and well appointed
The pool is small, but that's fair enough as there are only six rooms
Families are very welcome here though there are no specific facilities as the hotel is small.
Located in Sigiriya, the hotel is only 1 kilometre from Sigiriya Rock and 20 minutes from Dambulla caves.
What our travellers say
We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.
