Отличный отель в отличном месте.

Отличный отель для тех кто хочет насладиться утренним купанием слонов. Персонал был очень дружелюбен. Возникла 10-минутная заминка при регистрации, потеряли уже оплаченную бронь. Но в итоге персонал разобрался и нам выделили самый лучший номер в отеле с Супербалконом и Супервидом на реку. Вечером в отеле спокойно, для релаксации идеально. Ужин и завтрак были вкусными. Всем рекомендую.

ゾウの水浴び見学を目的にするには良いホテル

ゾウの孤児院からゾウたちが毎朝川に水浴びに来る。その水浴び場の目の前にあるのが売りのホテルです。通常であれば孤児院のチケットを持っている人しか入れないのですが、ホテルの宿泊者は見学自由です。ゾウの水浴びは朝8時30分ごろ（ゾウの数は多くない）と10時すぎ（本隊、ゾウたくさん）との二段階にわかれているようです。最初の回は近隣ホテルの宿泊者しかいないのでのんびり見学できますが、本隊が来るときには大勢の観光客が押し寄せます。 つまり、このホテルのアドバンテージはゾウの水浴び見学ができる点にあります。それ以外の点については、悪いというわけではないのですが、少々目をつむったほうがいいかもしれません。部屋は一見するときれいですが、棚はほこりが積もっていました。シャワーのお湯はちゃんと出ました。ベルボーイなんかもいます。なんというか、運用は一昔前のホテル、という印象でした。 レストランは川を眺められるテラスですが、カラスが襲来しますし、吹きさらしなで、ここもほこりっぽかったです。 ビールはライオンですが瓶ではなく缶でした。味はまあまあ。朝食はビュッフェで、種類が多かったです。オムレツを焼いてもらいました。スリランカカレーもおいしかったです。

Great hotel overlooking river where elephants bath

Other than a small stain on the wall and figuring out the A/C unit... everything was excellent with hotel. It is at a great location (overlooking river where elephants are bathed twice daily), the service (front desk, restaurant, housekeeper) were all excellent. We booked the room with the balcony overlooking the river (and this is highly recommended). You will definitely enjoy your stay at this hotel.

Great location right next to the river where the elephants bathe. However it is said that you receive free ticket into elephant park, however this is not completely true! We came early and were told we were not allowed to go down to the hotel early to check in without paying the ticket price because the elephants are bathing. So we had to either pay the ticket or wait until 4. Also the free ticket into the sanctuary is only for the bathing area you have to buy a new ticket to enter into the orphanage itself! Was a bit misleading!

リバービューの部屋の予約をお勧めします

かなり前から、ゾウの水浴びを見られる部屋をリクエストして予約しました。 宿泊は、午後4時からのチェックインを厳しく運用してるようで、チェックインするまでにずいぶん待たされ、近くのレストランでビールやコーラをを飲んで過ごしました。 近辺のホテルでは、ゾウの水浴びを見るには一番ロケーションが良く、部屋のバルコニーからゾウの水浴びの様子を眺めたり、写真を撮って過ごすことができ、楽しく時間を過ごせました。 室内はやや狭いものの、よく効くエアコン、テレビ、ミニバー、冷蔵庫があり快適に過ごすことができました。シャワールームはアメニティもシャンプー、コンディショナー、ボディローション、石鹸と一揃いあります。 朝食は１階のレストランで、フルーツ、卵料理、薄いトースト、紅茶かコーヒーの簡単な食事ですが、こちらからも早く水浴びに来ているゾウを見ることができました。 ホテル宿泊者はゾウの水浴びは無料で見られますが、ゾウの孤児院は有料となります。

Perfect hotel to see the elephants

I stayed here for one night. The location was fantastic, having prime access to the elephants. Room was new, clean and quiet. Breakfast was simple but delicious. There were 2 main downsides, firstly the check in/out times. 4pm check in and 12 check out. The reasoning is to access the area the hotel is in, you need a ticket (2500Rs) before 4. The second was a massage that the hotel insisted was part of the package. I requested for a female, only to have a male arrive after an hour waiting. He was unprofessional and I asked him to leave 3 times after feeling violated. Most of the staff were abruptly and unfriendly. I would still recommend this hotel due to the prime location. I wouldn't go into the orphanage if back again. I was able to feed the animals and chat to the trainers at the hotel without the thousands of people. Make sure you have smaller notes with you to tip however.

Rent hotell med bästa läget i Pinnawala

Varmt mottagande på hotellet och trevlig personal. Rummet hade en fantastisk utsikt mot floden där elefanterna badade från ca 9 på morgonen och till 14. Frukosten var väldigt generös och man kunde få en omelett på beställning.
