Stayed with family · For friends and family

Sudu Araliya is located on the banks of the Parakrama Samudraya. It’s extensive gardens offer a peaceful place for relaxation. There is a very nice and sturdy tree house with a couple of benches and tables. A lovely place for children to play and adults to relax. Rooms and bathrooms were spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and attentive and our requests were taken care of promptly. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet with many typical Sri Lankan foods. We only spent one night there but planning to return for a 2-3 night stay. Would definitely recommend staying there.

It looks promising in places, but sadly the whole place smelled damp when we visited.

The hotel looked promising upon arrival, with a big open reception housing many elephants. However, the 'hot' buffet food was cool, the salads were warm, the breakfast fruit juice dispensers were dirty with lots of fruit flies evident. The range of food was 95% spicy and not geared for western tastes. The shower gave only cold water. We were woken with maintenance drilling at 7.45am.Not that close to Kaudella NP. It was not all bad though...there was a good view of the lake and monkeys in the close by trees. Massage excellent value, but Hotel Not good value at £67 half board; beers were also expensive at around 750 Rs for 625ml bottle.
