Great location, basic accommodation
The hotel was good value for money, and was extremely close to the park which was great (and meant not such an early morning) however we struggled to sleep because of a dripping overflow and loud noise from the fridge throughout the night.

No frills but great service
The hotel was no frills and the WiFi only worked in a corner of the bathroom. The bed was very bouncy but other than that the pool and staff were wonderful. It is not a luxury hotel but good if you are visiting the area for a night to do a safari.

Good location if you looking to go to the national park which is few minutes away. Dinner was very good here. Room was nice but could use a screen door perhaps to keep some of the bugs out. The Wifi was down while we were there but we didn't need it much as one of us had a local sim card.

Fantastic location for the national park which is why we stayed here. Food & astmosphere leave a lot to be desired but the room was clean and had what we needed.

Well situated but do not expect luxury.
The Elephant Trail is perfectly located for entry to the Udawalawa National Park. We arrived after travelling from Nuwara Eliya and were pleased with the appearance of the hotel, however the front desk staff speak limited English. Helpfully, one of the staff carried our bags for us which was a nice touch and we were able to sign up for the safari experience (which is owned by the same company as the hotel). Our room was okay with basic essentials like a shower, bed and TV plus a balcony. However, the sink in the bathroom had a lot of dirt in the plug hole and on the second day dirty water came up the hole after I had just finished shaving. Also, the shower pressure was awful and the temperature switched back and forth from cold to scorching in a matter of seconds. Furthermore, the lack of WiFi in room did get annoying but I realise this is a first world problem and the environment we were in is stunning. On site, there is a restaurant (do not go next door as we found flies in our onion soup) and they offer a decent enough menu for Sri Lanka with a good variety of drinks. Our food was average and reasonable but the fact that you have to pay by cash does leave a bit of a sour taste as it means you need to be carrying a lot of rupees if staying for a while. All in all, it was an average hotel in a beautiful setting which could do with some upgrades: WiFi in room, decent showers, sinks being fixed, better food and the option of card payments.

Basic hotel, organised great safari
Hotel is basic with all amenities required but is in excellent location very close to national park. Hotel itself is tired and shower mouldy but room otherwise fine. Breakfast and food ok. The staff were helpful and organised a fantastic safari for us with Niluka safaris and recommended restaurants etc and were helpful in booking taxis.
