Cheap hotels in Hida

This hotel is well and truly off the beaten track! Clever because wherever you have arrived from it means you have driven through lush countryside to get here and it really has been worth your while. Set in grounds that boast access via a jetty to Gal Oya Lake, this hotel is reminiscent of a private country club. The limited guest accommodation lends an air of exclusivity while its spacious suites have tastefully decorated bedrooms with large adjoining bath/dressing rooms; double flyscreened doors take you onto your verandah with a vista of the huge lake beyond the palm trees and pool. Meals are served in a separate open sided pavilion overlooking this vast property. All this has been thoughtfully designed by one of the hosts, Thomas a renowned German architect, to complement the surrounding spectacular views. Guests are made to feel most welcome here by Dinesh the other host and his team, Mohan and Samson. Jeep or boat safaris can be arranged by the staff and kayaks are also available onsite if you wish to explore beyond the hotel’s shores.

A wonderful place with good staff.

Everything was great. The owner and his family were so friendly and helpful! He organises safaris (by jeep or by boat) and village tours (by jeep). The food was one of the best foods we ate in Sri Lanka. I you want to visit the Gal Oya National Parc, this Guest House is perfect!
