From
United Arab EmiratesThis boutique hotel has an amazing history, it used to be a private residence 100 years ago. Most of the flooring tiles are original, the place has been beautifully restored, the rooms are incredible and very cozy, their beds are comfortable.
I don't want to give away the story behind the beauty of this building but do stay there and ask them for a little tour around. It's absolutely fantastic.

Hotel was great , we arrived at 5 am and security let us in . Restaurant was great , WiFi was good , shops are a 2 min walk up the road as is the elephant orphanage. View from our room was amazing . Elephants come right up to you . Bathroom could have been cleaner but that is my only down point . Value for money 11/10 for the experience we had
There is a herb garden , elephant poo factory and tea factory that are all very interesting

Comfortable stay in this hotel.
View of elephants ,river and surrounding countryside was excellent- especially from dining hall and verandah of some rooms facing the river.
Highly recommend.

Pinnawala basically has 4 main attractions therefore a maximum of 2 days is sufficient. The main attraction is the elephant orphanage. Related to that is the elephant bathing at the nearby river which is fascinating. Remember the ticket you purchase for the orphanage is required for the bathing so do both in the same day as the tickets technically only valid for the day (we did not know this so we went to the orphanage in the evening and went to see the bathing the next day.. however the kind ticket officers let us go). Then there is a mini zoo where animals roam in more space than usual. You can feed animals here which could be fascinating (for a small fee). Then there is a traditional village called Iparini Gama where you can experience live style of a traditional sri lankan village.

Spectacular area to get up and close with elephants.
Spectacular area to get up and close with elephants. Unique experience with elephants walking thru the village for their daily bathing.
General accommodation facilities were good. Bars and eateries also of reasonable standard.
We stayed at Grand Royal Pinnalanda and found this quite satisfactory in services and value.

Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing.
Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing. A number of souvenir shops on the street and limited food options. We ate in our hotel. Shops don't stay open late as most tourists leave for the day. 1 night is enough.

The staff were very obliging.
The staff were very obliging. We arrived at 1am, this was not a problem and they greeted us warmly. Next morning we watched elephants in river from our balcony. The events coordinator took us to a place where we could walk and swim with elephants. He stopped on side of road on way back to try coconut milk. Wonderful staff. We found the breakfast not quite to European tastes.

Andrew was wery nice. We departed to sri lanka very early at the morning. Due to some misunderstanding they forgot to pickup us from airport, but after calling andrew, he arranged taxi for us in 10 minutes. We were at the hotel way before check in and he arranged a room for us to stay in till the room is ready. The pool with view on elephant was great and relaxing after long flight. Also the breakfast was perfect.
We had very nice arrival to Sri lanka.

We were here for the second time and would gladly come back. Very nice large rooms. Delicious breakfast. You can see the elephants bathing from the pool. Even from the breakfast table. An ideal hotel to end a trip to Sri Lanka. Special thanks to Jude. As last year, he is always friendly, helpful, and knows what his guests want. We will gladly come back! Thanks to the entire team at Elephant Bay.
