The Lake Edge Holiday Inn is an excellent hotel which is set right on the bank of the Debarawewa Lake. Our room was very clean, large and spacious with good air conditioning and tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The bed had a mosquito net and the most gorgeous view across the hotel gardens and the lake beyond. The all inclusive breakfast was delicious and served efficiently with a smile. The pool was warm, clean and inviting. The lady owner of the hotel was courteous and very helpful and helped us to organise a Safari to Yala National Park. She also very kindly arranged reseved seats on the bus to Ella, arranged a tuk tuk for a 7.30am pick up to the bus station and gave us a breakfast box for the journey. We had such a good time here that we stayed for an extra night. A big thank you to everyone for making our stay so very pleasant.

All staff is very gentle and full of attentions. Location is perfect just 2 kilometers away from a lake with giant bats and many birds. Dinner excellent also, and the swimming pool is nice to refresh after a safari day. To sum up : a great discovery !

Good location near the lake, clean and spacious rooms, cool patio, assisted us with booking a safari which left us very happy. There was a power outage but they managed to quickly secure a generator and serve dinner.

We were only there for one night. The drive round the lake, (we took the scenic route), was fantastic. So many birds and lotus flowers. The view of the lake from our room was just as lovely. The lady of the hotel was very helpful. Our room was spacious and clean and comfortable

The property is relatively easy to find, and right beside a lake. Rooms were spacious with a thoughtfully made balcony. Despite us reaching during a busy period, Lakmali (who heads/ manages the place) and her staff were welcoming. They were also nimble in responding to requests for ad hoc food preparations and assisting with a birthday celebration. There were minor niggles around power outage and water supply. However warmth of the managing team was more than enough to overlook those.

Beautiful hotel immersed in nature with the lake surrounding the property and lots of trees and a lovely pool. Very comfortable and clean rooms with very friendly host who helped us book a wonderful safari and was accommodating and helpful in every way.

The owner welcomed us in a very friendly manner, on departure we got lunch without having it included in our booking. Furthermore, she was able to find a cab driver that drove us to Ella at a large discount in comparison to the typical price. The room was clean and had a balcony and is located closely to a lake. There are different animals like peacocks living on the property. Her brother is offering Safari tours and is a very experienced tour guide despite being still young. We combined a Safari tour to the Yala National Park with our stay at Lake Edge Holiday Inn and the organisation of the trip was very good.

great Location although the hotel is not placed in Tissamaharama. But for short safari stay was really good. You can book a safari in hotel which I totally recommend!
