Coming down the B35 from Ella in our own tuktuk, we booked Safari Lodge Yala in Katharagama as our seventh accommodation on 25-27 March during our 15-day road trip, because of its proximity to the northern entrance to Yala NP. We were greeted with much enthusiasm by Savinda, who assigned us to the "Woodpecker" room. Nice and spacious with and en-suite bathroom. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, just like the pineapple juice with a scoop of ice cream. A private safari was arranged for us by the accommodation with service partner Onadi Yala Safari. Driver and guide Prasad made this an unforgettable experience. Love from Belgium, Raf and Nadine

Lovely host family. Upon arrival they were quick to offer us tea and biscuits, setting up a table outside our room. We had a lovely discussion with them in the evening, and they gave us mangos and bananas from their tree :)

I recently enjoyed a brief but fantastic stay at I Stayed Hotel. The staff's hospitality was top-notch, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The hotel's taxi service was prompt and efficient, allowing me to explore the city with ease. The highlight, however, was the delicious meals served at the hotel's restaurant. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, and the attention to detail was evident. I highly recommend I Stayed Hotel for a memorable and hassle-free experience. Five stars all the way!
