Terrific hotel
First time staying at this hotel. Our stay was incredible and the service is beyond this world. A special shout out to Herath and Suranga. They went out of the way to make sure we had a comfortable stay. We traveled with kids and it was a very kid friendly environment. Rooms were spacious and modern. Food was excellent as well. All in all a 7 star stay!

Fantastic Rooms with Amazing Views
We stayed one night at the Lake Forest Hotel. We were checked in promptly on arrival and we told that we received an upgrade to the room we had booked. We booked the Family Suite and we stayed in a Family Suite Room!! No upgrade but we were still very happy with the room. With 2 x Queen Beds and large bathroom and balconies the Family Suite was more than adequate for our one night stay. Beds were really comfortable and the views over Tissa Lake toward the temples were amazing. Only downvote for the hotel was the food. Not that it wasnt ok. It was nice, but food temperatures were a little low which made eating feel a little like the food had been sitting for a while. Hoppers were great as usual. We ate Sri Lankan choices at the buffet but there was a selection of Western food as well. A nice, comfortable hotel in a great location.

The hotel is located at a beautiful place next to the lake with a view of all the stupas. Rooms were nice and the staff was excellent. Herath at the restaurant was very friendly, courteous and helpful. Thank you!

Very pretty location, lovely view of lake and stupas. Attractive property and nice furnishings. There is one restaurant you can walk to, but it is too far to walk to the town; however taxis are always available.

From the moment we arrive at the reception until the conclusion of their trip, the hotel's team demonstrates exceptional training in providing top-notch service to us. The cuisine is exceptionally delicious and of high quality. Additionally, the hotel room and overall architecture are strikingly beautiful.

An excellent hotel!!!
The hotel is in an amazing location- right next to a massive lake! We just stayed for one night, but very soon felt that we should have stayed longer to really enjoy the hotel! The only glitch was that the water pressure in the bathroom was low, and the washbasin drained rather slowly.

Very nice, obliging staff. My room could have done with a refreshing, but it had a spacious terrace with lovely lake view. On balance, a nice place to stay.
