    The views from the terrace bar at sunset over the tank were breathtaking, making for a perfect way to unwind after a long day. The spacious pool area, with its beautiful surroundings and proximity to nature, really adds to the relaxation vibe.

    The hotel definitely shows its age. the air conditioning unit in my room seemed stuck in the 90s, and the TV was tiny, barely watchable from the bed. Wi-Fi was basically nonexistent in the rooms, forcing me to rely on mobile data, which is a hassle. The restaurant felt a bit bland and lacked character, and don’t get me started on the hand-written a la carte menu. it felt more like an afterthought than anything else. And while the food did have some tasty options, I did notice a limited variety.

    Breathtaking views in Polonnaruwa 🌅

    Man, the view of the tank is just unreal! Had a lekker time watching monkeys right from my room. The brekkie was a total score, especially those hoppers! The staff were champs, helping us find our way around – felt like family!

    Just a heads up, the pool could do with some more space.

    Giritale offered breathtaking views over the lake. I spent my mornings soaking it all in. Rooms felt a bit dated but comfy, and the staff genuinely cared. The food could've been better, but the cozy vibe made up for it!

    outdated rooms

    Breathtaking views and friendly staff

    The enchanting sunsets over Giritale Lake made every evening magical. The staff always greeted us with smiles, and arranging a safari was a breeze. We felt welcomed and cared for throughout our stay.

    The rooms, while decent, felt a bit outdated, and some lacked essential amenities like hairdryers. The dining area, though spacious, missed charm, making meals slightly less inviting at times.

    Amazing views and friendly vibes!

    Had a lovely stay! The view from the pool and dining area is just mind-blowing. Those sunsets, wow! Rooms were comfy but a bit old-school. The staff was super nice and helped us book a wild safari, which was awesome. The food was tasty, especially the in-room breakfast. Just wish they had better hairdryers!

    Giritale Hotel offers breathtaking views over the lake, particularly from the spacious balcony of the Deluxe Family Suite. The staff were very kind and helpful, especially during breakfast when they accommodated our late arrival. The food was delicious and we loved the buffet options which catered to various tastes.

    The air conditioning was quite loud.

    spacious room
    comfortable bed
    beautiful balcony view
    outdated amenities
    hidden step hazard

    I stayed in the Deluxe Family Suite With Lake View. The room was spacious and comfy, and the balcony view of the lake was definitely a highlight. The bed was comfortable too. A bit outdated, but manageable. I did notice no safe and awkwardly placed tea/coffee supplies. The bathroom had a hidden step that could be a trip hazard. But overall, it had all we needed for a cozy night during our stay!

    breathtaking views
    friendly service

    Had an incredible time with friends! We explored the breathtaking boundaries of Girthale Lake, spotting endemic lake birds and taking in the stunning views. The service was friendly, and the location made it easy to visit historic sites like Gal Viharaya and Dimbulagala. We enjoyed delicious food, especially the breakfast spread. This place is an awesome spot for adventure and relaxation!
