For the price point, this is the best place to stay if you're planning to visit Pinnawala. If you want to see the elephants walking through the town, get a balcony room or just sit by the eating area. You also have access to the river area where the elephants bathe, without having to pay for the orphanage fee.

It was a great stay. They upgraded our room to their chalet which was so spacious and comfortable. We could use the other hotel near Peacock for restaurant and pool and it had the best view of elephants in the river. They offered free drive between hotels making it very very easy to use facilities. Mr Andrew was deeply kind and helpful and we're thankful for the service.

The staff were very obliging. We arrived at 1am, this was not a problem and they greeted us warmly. Next morning we watched elephants in river from our balcony. The events coordinator took us to a place where we could walk and swim with elephants. He stopped on side of road on way back to try coconut milk. Wonderful staff. We found the breakfast not quite to European tastes.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the complete hotel staff for their remarkable kindness and assistance, which undoubtedly enhanced our stay. We reserve special gratitude for Andrew, our tour guide, whose warm welcome and generous gesture of taking us on a village tour with his car left a lasting impression.
Most notably, witnessing the elephants relishing their river bath was an extraordinary experience. The soothing sound of the river from our room added a truly relaxing touch to our stay.

We stayed in the beautifull place Luck Uyana Cabana, with very nice spice garden. They offer guided tour in the garder for free with foot massage. You can enjoy long massage and pay for it.
They offer discount for elephant ride and bath with Millenium Elephant foundation which is just next door.
Unfortunately we got ride by Tuk Tuk from the bus station and he reocmend some other - cheeper, but not so clean place for elephant bath. We did not have time to go to Pinnawala itself.

Pinnawala is an elephant orphanage with some axillary tourist services around. Keep in mind that the elephants are the priority and you get the opportunity to be there with them in the comfort of a nice hotel. Plan to arrive after 4PM if you are staying in a hotel by the river as the elephants are moving between the river and the orphanage. They came down three times during the day I was there. Fantastic.

It would have been nice to have had time to sit and have lunch watching the elephants and relaxing. There is also a range of shops to explore and I think a chance to go visit the orphanage in addition to seeing the elephants being bathed.
From reception to our bedroom was a worm welcome.
Shalika and her colleagues were beyond our expectations. She even upgraded our bedroom to a river view bedroom with an open balcony, which was fantastic.
Dinner and breakfast were excellent . Delicious food we all enjoyed with happy faces.
We also enjoyed looking at elephants and their bath . My son was overwhelmed by seeing elephants in real life.
Overall, we highly recommend Pinnalanda Grand Hotel is the best place to stay for a vacation and elephant bath view.
Everything was Excellent. This hotel is consists with a excellent location and the staff was very friendly . And the best thing is there is Pool with a River and Elephant veiw. And we can see elephant's are bathing in the river. And I saw that some people have Witten that the service was not good and I don't know why those people have Witten a comment like that because my room was very clean the service was extremely nice. I recommend this Hotel as a good place to visit.
This is an interesting place in а Sri Lanka village, which works fine for nature lovers. We liked the cosy bungalow surrounded by nature. We enjoyed tasty Sri Lankan home food, especially dinners. The hotel owners are very friendly and take care of our needs. This place is good if you are going to visit Bo Ella Waterfall and Bible Rock (Bathalegala).We went hiking and enjoyed much. They have hot water and a well designed bathroom.
The hotel was wonderful, and its view was pleasant and excellent. It overlooks the river full of elephants in the morning.. A unique experience, and the hotel provides a special trip to take the elephants on a tour, ride them and wash them.. I see that the hotel is wonderful and suitable for its price, as well as its location is distinguished and it eliminates the need to go specifically to see the elephants ..
Excellent place, spacious rooms, with a lot of vegetation. Anushka is very kind, as is his family. He is a very good guide, he knows a lot about his country and its tourist attractions.
If you have any questions, I recommend that you ask anything, he will help you.
It was an incredible day in their cottage and the typical Sri Lanka breakfast was amazing 🤩🤩
I will back , I’m sure 🫶🏻☺️

Very nice stay. The containers have everything that you need. AC, Wifi, TV with English channels, hot water, fridge, balkony... It's in a quiet area. Free transport by tuk tuk to a main hotel.witj the pool and the elephant view. Breakfast is a blast! Plenty to choose from. The elephant walk is around 8:30 and 14:00. Really enjoyed my stay!
The staff greeted us at our tuk tuk and took care of our bags. Our room was nice and clean. There's a mini bar, for a fee, and a store right below. It's directly across the street from the elephant orphanage. In the morning, around 10:00, you can watch a herd of elephant cross the street. Quite a site
Amazing restored colonial hotel - incredible rooms, stylishly and tastefully restored and updated. Takes you back to times gone by. Certainly worth a stay - and also not a bad run through to the international airport as a stop if coming from Ella/mountains.
Food was excellent and good menu.
Hotel with elephants was an incredible experience! We had an amazing holiday surrounded by beautiful elephants which created an amazing atmosphere. The service was impeccable and the opportunity to interact with the elephants was a real bonus. A unique experience that I will never forget!

The hosts here were so kind and accommodating. The room was spacious and comfy with a balcony overlooking the garden. The elephant orphanage is very close by and there are some lovely poolside bars and restaurants in the area.
The location was perfect to see the elephants. The elephants walked right by the hotel entrance. And the owners were extremely friendly and accommodating. We will definitely visit again!
A perfect stopover between Colombo and Kandy and beyond. Full of old world charm and the tour of the hotel was great! Staff friendly and accommodating!
