The Nilmini Lodge

"I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the family; it was a truly special and unforgettable experience. Lionel, the owner, and his wife are incredibly kind. The location is excellent, within walking distance of Lion Rock and right next to the best coffee in Sigiriya."

"I liked everything about the HomeStay, there was only nauseating noise from the music of a nearby restaurant that made it difficult to hear the sounds of the animals or the rain, but I understand that this is not the hotel's responsibility."

"Very nice owners Good help with booking ethical tours"

"This hotel is very close to Sigiriya Rock. While it's recommended to take a tuk-tuk during dark hours to avoid encounters with wild elephants, you can walk to Sigiriya Rock during daylight."

"Very good location, walking distance from Lion’s rock, and close to many restaurants. The host was very nice and helpful, arranging a tuktuk for us for to go to Pidurangala for sunrise."

"Mosquito net was not very convenient"

"Location was very nice- very nice restaurants around. It is situation on the main road. Breakfast was not included but could be paid for. Room was good, but the bed could be better. Luggage could be stored."

"There were mosquitos in the room, but there was also a mosquito net. The bed could have been better. The property did not accept card payments, only cash in LKR."

"The Nilmini Lodge offered a peaceful stay with its ideal location near the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress. The facilities were basic but clean and comfortable, providing great value for money. We booked two rooms; one had round wall sockets, so it’s advisable to carry a three-pin plug point travel adapter. While the hospitality didn’t feel particularly warm, perhaps because we were locals, but our stay was pleasant. The basic English breakfast added a touch of homely charm to the place. Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, The Nilmini Lodge is a good choice. Its convenient location, reasonable service, and affordability make it a great base for exploring Sigiriya, Pidurangala Rock, and the Sigiri Village Safari. I recommend it for anyone visiting this stunning region of Sri Lanka!"

"However, a few aspects could be improved. Despite requesting an iron, it wasn’t provided, which was a bit inconvenient. Additionally, the hospitality felt a bit impersonal."

"Everything was amazing, the staff was very nice, breakfast great and the location was the best."

"At night it was too loud. Music was playing all night in one of the nearest restaurant."

"An incredibly lovely family who made my stay in Sigirya feel so warm, personalised and peaceful, in what is otherwise quite a touristic town. Not the top end in term of facilities - but super good value - and after arriving late one night they offered to give me a ride to see sunrise at 5am the next morning. Owner has been running the guest house since the 60s and has plenty of stories of the town over the years. For an authentic Sigiriya experience, highly recommend."

"I had a lovely stay at Nilmini Lodge, the whole family were very kind, helping me with anything I needed, from organising early morning tuktuks for hikes to teaching me some local sayings and pronunication The breakfast was wonderful, and my room suited me perfectly as a solo traveler for a couple of days, I couldnt of asked for anything more. I really can't stress how nice the whole family are, especially Marli. Thank you!"
