The hotel is decent overall—comfortable enough for a short stay and conveniently located just opposite the elephant sanctuary. The staff were helpful, (communicate basic english) The room itself was fine, but it wasn’t as clean as I would have hoped. Some dust in the corners and a less-than-pristine bathroom gave the impression that housekeeping could be more thorough.

Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing.
Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing. A number of souvenir shops on the street and limited food options. We ate in our hotel. Shops don't stay open late as most tourists leave for the day. 1 night is enough.

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.

Just like in the pictures, the Grand Royal Pinnalanda was situated right at the edge of the river. It was wonderful to see the elephants up close, we actually didn't go to rhe sanctuary, the view from the river was plenty! The hotel buffet was very diverse for breakfast, the hoppers were the best I've had. The meals at dinner were tasty too, and very generous in size. The rooms were comfortable and the rooms with the balcony view didn't disappoint, and neither did the pool.
In front of the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, you can park the vehicle in front of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful I actually forgot his name one of the staff ( a small guy) was very helpful.
The host was also very friendly and a great value for our money.the room and Bathroom was very clean.
Bed was very comfortable and large.
The owners were friendly and cheerful. The dinner was delicious and they also offered fruits from their garden. The place is close to the elephant orphanage but also in the middle of nature and banana trees
