Guest Houses in Kotapola

"Staff always have a smile and will get you anything you need. Nice and clean room and communal areas, good variety of food. Great location if you are visiting for the Safari, only ten minutes up the road. The transition centre, where you can see the young elephants being fed, is even closer. "

"Great location on the beach short walk along the beach to the main part of town"

"Over the road from the beach, this hotel provides a great location for Weligama with easy access to the surf schools. We stayed in a large family 2 level apartment which was excellent."

"Large clean room, great service, comprehensive breakfast, large pool, "

"Everything was great. Manager of the restaurant went above and beyond and was amazing, as were all the staff. Even drove us to and from the elephant transit home in their safari jeep. Made sure everything we asked for, happened. Loved the turtles in the courtyard too."

"A hidden gem. The food at the roof top cafe/bar is amazing - breakfast, lunch and dinner all 10/10. Lovely atmosphere. Rooms are great, slightly basic but you don’t need anymore than you have. Really enjoyed our stay and would come back. "

"Fantastic stay- spotless rooms, great breakfast, very friendly staff."

"My stay at this hostel was fantastic! Highly recommend. I booked a private room and it was perfectly spotless, felt quite clean, was well designed and felt like a boutique hotel. The front desk service was great, and easy to ask questions regarding train times through WhatsApp, and they even accommodated check out an hour earlier so I could do a morning surf lesson and wash up without rushing. The location was also perfect, and within easy walking distance of the beach, beach clubs, and good restaurants. "

"We had an amazing stay at Mansala Safari House. The hosts are very kind and welcoming, and the house itself is clean and comfortable. The hosts arranged two safaris for us which were both excellent; the driver picked us up directly from the accommodation and was very knowledgeable about the park. We had the car completely to ourselves as well. The hosts provided breakfast in the morning, and also gave us water bottles and coffees for the safaris. During our second day we were reading on the lovely terrace and the host even came up with a fresh mango for us which was delicious. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone - lovely hosts and a great space!"
