Hungry Lion Sigiriya

We loved our stay at the Hungry Lion - super close to the Sigiriya rock (we walked). The nicest thing is the location and friendly atmosphere. For a budget accommodation the room was clean and fresh, a few ants in the bathroom but no big deal. Air con was great -3 restaurants to walk to. A rustic stay in a beautiful location for seeing wildlife. This was one the best parts of our trip and would love to have stayed longer so much wildlife at the location we saw 2 hornbills and elephants on the road on our drive out. Thank you to the lovely people there and we did like your dogs x

Very near to Sigitiya Lions Rock. But the service quality is extremely poor. We four people checked in on 15.09.24 for two nights. Rooms are quite big but the Sit Conditioners installed are not enough for such big rooms. No or absolute little cooling effect. Also no telephone inside the room to call for room service. Everytime you need to visit ground floor if you require something which is really inconvenient for a guest checking in a hotel. We ordered two chicken noodles and one egg fried rice for dinner which are astronomicallu over priced. Moreover they served small portions of chicken fried rice and kept us on waiting over an hour. Later we came to know there are no stock of egg fried rice and they have sent someone outside to bring the same. Just poor service. The breakfast served on 16.09.24 was sumptuous and tasty. Sumdun is a very cunning person as they will always try to fool you. While checking out they were trying to cheat us by adding 8 bottles of water at 150LKR instead of 130LKR which is the MRP. Moreover they charged 10% service charge without providing any damn service. Absolute bunch of cheats. When we confronted them they revised the bill and falsely charged us that we have broken their electricil kettle. Also threatened us with dire consequences by call the police. Again when we protested they backed off. Never book this hotel.Never ever.

I loved our stay at The Hungry Lion. It's a peaceful spot run by really nice people. Our room was amazing and the breakfast was fantastic. Incredible value for sure.

This property was our first stop in Sri Lanka. The staff were amazing and helpful. It is very close to the Sigiriya fortress.

The most disgusting room we have ever been in, sewage smell in the bathroom. No clean towels.

We stayed here for a couple of nights with my family of 5 whilst exploring Sigiriya's sights. We had a big room with all the beds lined up and there was room for everyone. It was not the most luxurious of rooms we've stayed in, but it was clean, very spacious and the bathroom was well functioning. The shower was also very spacious. The breakfast was delicious with fresh-made juice, omelettes and toast. The location is great, it is very close to the main sights and there are nice restaurant within a walking distance. The service was very friendly and the owners had the cutest little puppy that was very friendly, too. The exterior may look a bit rough when driving in (through the neighboring wood-carving business's backyard) but don't let it scare you off, this is a very nice and friendly place.
