Melrose villas is tucked away off the main road but still within walking distance / short tuk tuk ride away from village. Rooms are simple and it may take a while to find right temperature for the shower. But what really stands out is their great service, simple but freshly made meals and view of Sigiriya Rock in the distance.

Really nice bungalows with very strong AC. The garden has a really nice view of Sigiriya rock. Good breakfast included, they also offer a decent buffet dinner.

Sigiriya Rock is about a 15 minute walk, whereas the main village area is a bit further. After visiting Sigiriya in the morning, we decided at the very last minute to catch the train from Habarana station (30 min drive from Sigiriya) to Colombo. We were struggling to contact a tuk-tuk driver with so little notice, so one of the employees offered to drive us in the hotel van, since he was already dropping off staff members in that direction. 10/10 service, very thankful.

Likes - Close to Nature, bird life, greenery.

Dislikes - No hot water for morning showers, Wi-fi very very weak (almost not working), Not adequate lighting in the room if you are a book reader, towels not changed everyday (Could get if asked - Not Sure), Basic breakfast and same menu everyday (asking for 3rd half fry egg, got reminded only 2 eggs allowed), staff with limited English language skills
