The location of Takeshi Inn in Dambulla is simply ideal to visit the various places in the Cultural Triangle. I'd stayed a couple of nights here and made it my hub for the northern leg of my Sri Lanka trip. I rented a Bajaj clutch motorbike, from Takeshi Inn, which was in mint condition and traveled to Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Mihintale,... More

Wonderful owner and his family certainly make you feel at home...rooms are clean...and in asia this is important.overall good stay indeed.the only disappoinment was the $30 Admission fee for sigriya world heritage site....a little more equality in pricing is a good idea

Nice guesthouse on the side of dambulla. Very friendly owners who owns a couple of tuk tuk's as well. He can bring you to some special placed and will tell you interesting stuff on your way. Very good Value for Money!! Don't expect a 5 star hotel but these rooms are nice, good and clean!

Guesthouse is situated not far from city centre and bus station, close to the main road but far enough to avoid from noise and dust from the street. AC and non AC rooms, clean and spacious. You can have breakfast in GH or any food and drinks in takeaway bistro few meters from GH. Guesthouse run by very friendly and... More

A guesthouse run by a friendly family, who always tries to please, help and makes you feel like at home. We were planing to stay only one night, but we stayed three. The rooms are very clean, location is good- just next to the road to Sigiriya or Polonaruwa, so it's possible to catch a bus just in front of... More
