Kataragama

Good location and free parking.  Close to the famous Kataragama Devalaya.  They even arranged a offering(puja watti) for a reasonable rate and someone will bring to the doorstep of the Devalaya, no need to carry all the way.
Need some renovation/maintenance for some rooms.  We took three rooms, one had a kettle, not in others.  Our wash- room sink water is very low, others good.  Good A/C, good hot water, enough TV channels. May need good pillows, new bed-sheets.  We asked morning tea at 6.30 and did not get.  I had to ask and got at 7.15. Maybe a miss-communication.  They offered a good rate for us.  Staff makes this place clean all the time.

Good Location!

One of the newer properties in Kataragama, conveniently located just away from the busy town centre. We'll maintained air conditioned rooms, clean bathrooms. The super deluxe room is a great choice. The kitchen turns out sumptuous Sri Lankan fare.

Value for money

When it comes to the location it was nearby to the Katharagama town. Considering the rooms, they were so untidy we had to order them to change bedsheets 2-3 times. Deluxe rooms were nothing but cable t.v.Definitely not worth the price you pay. Bathrooms were so smelly and had bloodstains on the walls. Amenities were used before or dirty. Toilet potties were broken. And the service was much poor, as an example

Ruined our family vacation...

Nice place and everyone's so kind. The service is exceptional and the rooms are spotless. Location is so convenient to access Kataragama Maha Devalaya and Kirivehera. Therefore it's an ideal place  for anyone to access around Katharagama

Clean rooms &  Better Hospitality

This hotel only looks good outside , inside is dirty, smelly,disgusting.The location is in a very dirty area . I really don’t recommend this hotel . If you are planing go Sri Lanka for a tour I will to recommend another place for do a Safari. This small village is really not a good choice 

Tour 

The hotel manager was a joy to have as a greeter and got us to our room super duper fast which I appreciated as I had to use the restroom really bad. The hotel was spacious with two beds and two pillows each. Good mattresses and the water pressure in the shower was nice. The bathroom was super spacious as well!! He was flexible with the checkout as our safari brought us back after checkout so that was a plus too. A/C and bed nets were provided but it did need something for the net to cling onto near the head of the bed as there are no headboards. Other than that we were please and the hotel was easy to find! Would stay again!

Nice quick stay :)

It was great budget hotel for Locals like us. And its located near to Kataragama Pilgrimage city in a walking distance. And the facilities in hotel rooms are awesome specaily the wash rooms are so clean and tidy. 
Hotel Senora's Manger Mr. Suren gave us lots of tips and good service to make our trip success. 
Foods can be taken outside or from the hotel itself. Foods are delicious too. 
I wish and thanking the owner - Mr. Sahan Hettiarachchi having this wonderfull place in kataragama and giving it for reasonble prices.

Calm and Good Place to stay

The rooms were very spacious and comfortable with all the facilities. It's very affordable and the service provided by the staff is excellent.  The close proximity to the katharagama temple and yala national park makes this place the ideal hotel to stay while in kataragama

Simply excellent

My lovely wife and I spent two nights at this hotel when visiting Kataragama. It's primarily aimed at the domestic market but is a decent budget option no matter where you come from. 

Having said that, the whole place is a bit grubby around the edges and could do with a deep clean and a lick of paint. But the rooms themselves are fine. Our A/C deluxe double was fairly priced at 4,500 rupees per night and was big enough to comfortably fit two king size beds. Smaller, cheaper non-A/C rooms are also available.

The air conditioning worked well and the water was pretty hot. The towels and linen are a bit tired and could do with replacing but they do the job.

The hotel is very handily located just 500 metres from the sacred precinct, which you really must visit for the evening puja. I'd suggest getting there by 5pm ahead of the 630pm start so you can explore the site and soak up the atmosphere.

Asanka on the front desk was able to organise a last minute jeep safari to Yala National Park for us which was very much appreciated. The cost of 9,000 rupees plus entry fees for two people in a private jeep was very reasonable given that we had a full day in the park from 6am to 6pm.

A decent enough budget option

This is a good budget hotel. All the facilities are there and room size is enough for four person. Cleanliness is good.staff is friendly especially asanka&darmasena who helped lot during our stay. Foods can be taken outside or from the hotel itself. Closely located to the devalaya. You can use threewheelers to go to kiriwehera.
