Sri Lanka | 5-Night Hotel Guide (Save This!)
I stayed at five hotels in Sri Lanka—each with small flaws but more strengths. Perfect if you're not too picky! 😊 1️⃣ The Ocean Colombo ✅ Pros: Great location (near sea train tracks + ocean views). Spacious rooms, affordable restaurant, and a nearby supermarket. ❌ Cons: Slightly humid (coastal). Dated decor + weak WiFi. ⭐ Rating: 3/5 → Good for 1-2 nights max. 2️⃣ Hotel Sigiriya ✅ Pros: Best resort near Lion Rock—pool with Sigiriya views! Welcome drinks, helpful staff, buffet breakfast/dinner. Wildlife sightings (monkeys 🐒 + squirrels). ❌ Cons: Old-school keys, no nearby shops. ⭐ Rating: 4/5 → Top pick for Sigiriya! 3️⃣ Panorama Green (Nuwara Eliya) ✅ Pros: Quiet, cozy European-style rooms. Close to Pink Post Office. ❌ Cons: Remote (nothing to do at night). Chilly mornings/evenings. ⭐ Rating: 3/5 → Decent transit stay. 4️⃣ Coop Safari Hotel (Tissamaharama) ✅ Pros: New & clean, opposite bus station. Huge breakfast, friendly staff, Yala safari bookings. ❌ Cons: Hard to find (no big sign). Occasional bugs. ⭐ Rating: 4/5 → Best budget option! 5️⃣ Ginganga Lodge (Galle) ✅ Pros: Bali vibes—photogenic pools + gardens. Delicious meals, playful monkeys 🐵 + 3 adorable dogs! ❌ Cons: Secluded (GPS needed). ⭐ Rating: 5/5 → My FAVORITE! 💖 #SriLankaHotels #TravelSmart #HiddenGems #BudgetLuxury #HotelHacks
