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. ##### Giridhar Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Pamela 30 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very nice, obliging staff.

Very prompt. The rooms are great. Wifi is a bit slow, but not too bad. Unfortunately, it has been raining (un - seasonal) and thus, couldn't go out exploring much. Otherwise, great. ##### Chatura Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Russel 11 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4BFE520EBC0FF1498E5BCCACFA72D5A194F7069E1720737077339.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/56BCEF1C15F170E3ECB159DBF0357DEB63ADDD791720737078125.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Russel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reliyas 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Enjoyed good food as well as their services ##### Reliyas Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deemathi 16 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very nice place and the staff is amazing too ##### Deemathi Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Edith-Louise 15 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Beautiful hotel by the lake.
