⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

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.

This hotel is in a perfect location for visiting Dambulla Cave Temples, which are a short walk away. The staff were amazing and really made this a great place to stay. The manager, Siddu was incredibly helpful, particularly in sorting our onward bus travel to Kandy, reserving our seats and getting the bus to stop opposite the hotel to pick us up. We are breakfast, lunch and dinner and the cook, Romesh, made great meals. Lahshu made a good cocktail too!

In Dambulla there are many good accommodations at good prices. This is one of them. Large room and bathroom, hot water impeccable cleanliness, balcony, refrigerator, air conditioning and impeccable staff. From the balcony you can see many squirrel lemurs and various beautiful birds. Breakfast is a choice of English or local and it is good.There is a parking area in the hotel if you have your own vehicle

The best member of staff Sugar was awesome, he was willing to help us with everything and always smiling :) we really appreciated him to be there for us. Location of the hotel is great, even though it is situated in centre of Dambulla, the place is calm and quite with lots of trees and palms around pool. Deluxe King room was very comfortable and had fridge.

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.
