Centauria Wild

I feel bad giving this hotel such a bad review as the staff are really lovely and really do their best, but this hotel is very tired. The decoration is faded, bathrooms need updating and the food was shocking One positive is it’s a great location to the national park and udawalawe elephant transit home project We checked out after only one night- it was worth scarificing our room rate rather than stay another night

Beautiful Stay in this hotel. We stayed 2 nights and was delighted with the hotel. From arriving given cold flannels & welcome drinks to the lovely staff who were extremely welcoming everywhere. The food was fabulous so cannot believe some of the reviews. It was very varied & fresh for breakfast and dinner. The pictures don’t do it justice with a beautiful pool and terrace with ample beds looking out to the jungle and lake beyond. The rooms had a lovely colonial feel & were spacious & comfortable. I met the lovely manager Damitha who I told his staff & hotel was a credit to him, thank you.

Very nice hotel. Nothing to complain about. The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Food was excellent. Hotel was clean and the rooms were spacious. It was in a beautiful setting and was very quiet. Loved to have stayed longer. Will definitely go back again.

What a great location. Witnessed two weddings whilst here which was fascinating. Staff were very attentive and polite. Food was very good, delighted that fish and chips were on the menu ! A great room with a marvellous balcony allowed a great opportunity to relax.

Arrival was fantastic. Welcoming staff and lovely fish ponds in reception. Room was nice, good bed, great bathroom and fantastic view over the national park. Pool area was good too. Staff were wonderful! The hotel needs a bar by the pool, perhaps instead of the bar inside which is a bit dark and dingy. The food was ok. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a one night stay at Udawalawe. Anyone staying more than one night would probably struggle to find things to do after safari (which was incredible!)

Interesting aspect on arriving at reception, little ornamental bridges, pools with fish etc.Well appointed room, clean and comfortable, air con set at comfortable temperature and not with noise level of other hotels so comfortable sleep. Stunning location with lovely outdoor pool and wonderful views from the roof terrace. The bar and restaurant area were a bit dark and old fashioned in appearance but I loved them, very atmospheric and well stocked with wine at very reasonable prices. Good food in the restaurant although mostly tour groups dining.Very friendly and helpful staff. Would have liked to stay longer.
