Samabe Lake, hotel in Dambulla

Situated in Dambulla, 23 km from Sigiriya Rock, Samabe Lake features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and water sports facilities.

This boutique guest house is fantastic, located in front of the Samabe lake. This is such a peaceful, relaxing and quiet environment. A real paradise for all nature lovers - located just a few minutes away from Dambulla center. For now, there are only 2 cottages in the property. So basically the stay is very private (no noise around). The cottage size is very good with a terrace from where you can enjoy the view of the lake. The personnel is very friendly - and insisted to invite me for a lovely boat tour on the lake for free. Surprisingly there was no mosquito in the cottage whereas we could think that there might be due to the proximity of the lake. The WiFi was working very fine. All was perfect. From this place, i did visit Dambulla (e.g Golden temple) and its surroundings- up to Habarana for a half a day safari (mainly elephants spotted) in the national park of Minneriya/Eco lodge. Spent 2 wonderful nights …and wish I would have more time to stay more !

    All the sites were wonderful - Sigiriya (the rock), Dambulla Caves (Amazing - especially cave #2), Polonnaruwa (Ancient City), Elephant Safari saw 40 to 50 elephants - Mothers and their children on a ridge at the very end of the safari! It was a great day to be able to see that many in the game reserve all together. I would spend minimum 3 but really 4 nights up here as the travel day really doesn't count because you aren't running out to see anything until the next day, so this way you have 3 full days to see all the sites and it isn't rushed. Also, you go out early in the morning as it gets too bloody hot in the middle of the day.

    Dambulla is a great place to explore, especially if you are a nature lover. Lots of greenery is preserved amidst the cave temples. Frescos at the Dambulla cave temple are amazingly beautiful. Inside the caves are cold though the outside temperature is steaming hot in the summer. Sigiriya rock is another attraction near Dambulla. It will take a half a day tour to climb up and down but if you want to explore more, the area surrounding the Sigiriya rock garden is vast and can wonder around the rock garden and historical ruins for hours. Good for hikers. Ibbankatuwa ancient grave yard, Pidurangala (A rock with nice view at the top, situated parallel to Sigiriya Rock are some of other nearby attractions.

    First of all we would like to thank the owner and the management for giving us the opportunity to stay at this beautiful resort. Colin and Ajit did a wonderful job of looking after us They are hard working, sincere and committed in their work. Few things that need to be sorted out were the overgrown creeper in the front which is preventing sunlight from entering the front of the house. Lighting in the room and bathroom need to be brighter. A stronger Wi-Fi would be welcome Overall an enjoyable stay Hope to visit again Regards

    Perfect place to stay for a few days to explore Dambulla, Sigiyira, go on a safari and polonnaruwa. Booked one night and stayed 3. The breakfast is huge, Sri Lankan and tasty. Good outside but covered hangout place to chill and mingle with other guests. Owner is super friendly, helpful with planning day trips and always willing to help out in whichever way possible. Definitely stay here, unpack a bit and then enjoy the cultural triangle with day trips from here.

    We really enjoyed our stay! The property is very good value for money, the owner is very friendly and kind, he took us to Pidurangala Rock and Polonnaruwa and charged very economical prices. We also ate dinner and breakfast, both traditional and very delicious. The hotel is nice, hippy style, we had a nice sleep, the amenities all work, is no luxury but is all clean. We felt very welcomed and would definetly go back if we were to stay again in Dambulla.

The pool was very nice and the traditional Sri Lankan breakfast/lunch was amazing!! Ashen and everyone who works at the hotel were really nice to us and helpful and made sure we had the best stay! Thank you! Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Dambulla.

City Paradise Dambulla suits us well in terms of location and budget for someone like us who just wants to clean up and clean bed to rest, then get ready on the car the next day. The kindness and efforts to help out from all the members at City Paradise Dambulla are very impressive making our first trip in Sri Lanka wonderful - thank you :)

    A cute guest house in Dambulla, I stayed there for only one night, but the room & bathroom were very clean & spacious, the owner made me dinner & breakfast, the food was very nice, he even came to the rescue & picked me up when I couldn't find my way back at night, & dropped me off at the bus station. The location is very close to Dambulla caves temple about 10 mins walk, I highly recommend the place.

    Dilshan, the hotel manager, is a very nice and patience guy. He drove us to the many attractions around and gave us a lot of tips and interesting information for our stay in Dambulla. He made every little wish we had, came true. The villa is a very cozy place, where the monkeys play in the morning and afternoon on the terrace. And the fried rice at his little restaurant is very good.
