⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay at Hotel Golden Ray!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay at Hotel Golden Ray! My experience at Hotel Golden Ray was absolutely wonderful from start to finish.

We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy,...

Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.

Dambulla is truly the perfect gateway to explore Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle! Located at the heart of this historic region, it offers unbeatable access to some of the country’s most iconic sites. From Dambulla, you’re just a short drive from the majestic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, and the sacred ruins of Anuradhapura.

With its central location, Dambulla is the ideal base for exploring these cultural wonders, while also providing a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. Whether you're into history, culture, or simply breathtaking landscapes, Dambulla is the best place to start your journey through Sri Lanka’s rich heritage.

I loved everything they have amazing vibe, nothing was to much trouble . All staff kind and helpful. Dambulla is quiet but has local shops, cafes Pizza Hut, great small restaurant a few miles from Evergreen serving very good food. It's run by the people who run Evergreen. So recommended by me.. Anything you want to do or go and see will be arranged for you Tuk Tuk guy is a staff member . If you need car/driver it will be arranged.

The staff of this hotel are what makes this place. They will go above and beyond to help without you even needing to ask. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need. It is a nice calm spot off a very busy street. We also must mention the exceptional Tuk Tuk driver who brought us around Dambulla on our first day and a fantastic sunrise trip to Sigriya followed by some additional stop offs that we would have missed out on without his knowledge. This was a fantastic recommendation from the hotel.

Everything was really good! The pool bar was relaxing, beds were comfortable, food was tasty and bedrooms were clean. I told them that it was my bf brithday and they made a pretty decoration with flowers and leaves in the bed. Our 2 nights in the hotel were great, but the main highlight was the staff. All of them were friendly and helpful everytime, specially Siduu and Tito, who shared more time with us. Thank you for a great time! If I go back to Dambulla, I would definitely stay again!

Very nice hotel with clean and well maintained rooms. Everything was working fine. Isuru - the hotel driver was our superstar and made our stay in Dambulla so much better than expected. We had lots of fun with him and I highly recommend trusting him with his recommendations.

Super friendly and welcoming staff. They even invited us to a New Year Eve firework celebration and a super delicious New Year breakfast next day. The hotel is also very close to the Dambulla Golden Temple and caves.

The hotel was nice but we didn’t really enjoy Dambulla as a location. We didn’t feel very safe while we were there. The food in the hotel was nice and the staff were friendly.
