Owin Rose Yala Safari Hotel — Hotel in Sri Lanka

I do not know whether the management here has changed since other trip advisor guests visited this hotel. But our experience over this weekend was horrible. The room had no mosquito net and was infested with a swarm of some insects which filled all the beds in the room, Their bites were stinging. There was no caretaker overnight.

The courteous staff made us very comfortable, which led us to extend our stay.||I should mention this hotel could be one of the best you can get in the area of Tissamaharama.||I have no hesitation to recommend any one to stay here if you are looking for a clean and...

Whenever I make my visits to Kataramama,and Yala during my holiday, I use to stay here. I normally visit twice a year. This year too I visited with some of my friends who came from USA. I am happy to state that during our stay of 3 days this time too we had the experience of the friendly and homely services extended by the staff of this beautifully located hotel. The hotel had the fully occupancy and this may be due to the excellent food and other facilities of the hotel. This is very conveniently located and only 30 minute drive to the sacred Kataragama devale and Kirivehara. We hope to visit once again during the...
