Yala Oga Reach Hotel

Nice and calm place. We loved the location. Our room were facing the beautiful lake. Room size was good and amenities including AC were perfect. Friendly staff. Special thank to the chef for preparing delicious Sri Lankan dishes in the original Sri Lankan way. We had rice and curry for diner and string hoppers for the breakfast. Meals were awesome. Location was good too since we got easy access to Yala NP safari. Would love to recommend for somebody visiting Yala NP or Katharagama sacred city.

Great place to stay The Manager was super nice and accommodating. Lovely rooms, clean, comfy beds, great AC, great shower. The setting is epic straight to the lake and is a short distance from the Yala Sanctuary and also Kirinda Beach and a few other viewpoints. Sasindu arranged our Yala safari it's most grateful to you for us. We saw a lot of animals there elephants and leopards. It's a very interesting trip for us Looking at the lake from the balcony creates a beautiful scene. Sometimes you can see crocodiles in the lake. Birds often around the lake. The view is beautiful to see. So I suggest and recommend this place to all others. I am thankful to the staff for the delicious and mellow breakfast. We will come here again. This is the place we were looking for and my wife was more than happy

I am really sorry for giving this review. However, I thought to do this because of the experience that we had with toddlers. - we booked a double deluxe room and a triple room. - when we arrived, they didn't know that there is a booking or what we booked. - There were no computers or reception staff. - A very young staff member noted what we said on a note book and took us to the rooms. - we were given two double rooms. Not a triple room. - we asked for a triple room. We then got shown another room. - it had an old plywood piece bed as the second single bed. (Please see the photo) - the bathroom was smelly , it smelt of urine. - they just swept the floor and gave the keys - the hotel has some overhead tanks . They overflow and wet the whole balcony. This have rotten the balcony support. Hence, you will either get wet or the balcony will come off. Please check the photos - the rooms had many insects. Yellow and red spotted millipedes, cockroaches , mosquitoes and loads of ants swarming over everything. Both todlars hads somany bites despite of the insect repellent sprays. Please check photos. - the toilet takes more than 30 minutes to fill between flushes. This means that we had to share number two's. - the hot water stops intermittently. There is no one in the hotel to ask at times, except to the two security guards. - this is located about 30 minutes from the town. However, you have to walk 15 minutes to the road to stop a tuck tuck but there are very few that you can stop. You have to get phone numbers and call. The prices very 300-600 rupees. - they don't have a food menu. Everything is verbal . They kept saying that they only have very little items. You can get very basic food at top prices. - we wanted to wash some clothes. The staff said that we can leave the clothes with them, when the people from the laundry come they will tell the price. What actually happened was , they took the clothes, washed it and gave a big bill we also had to pay a tuck-tuck driver. - when this was challenged, some identified himself as a manager told that they would have charged more than two times. When we asked why we were not given the prices before, the answer was an apology. Please view the photo for the charges. - there is no TV in the room - the lake next to the hotel has crocodiles in it. - there is nothing to see near by. You have to book a vehicle to go anywhere - the hotel never told us that we have to leave the keys to clean the rooms. When we did find out, we still had to ask for toilet tissue, some coffee sachets and everything. As a result, we left one day earlier. We did meet the general manager the day before. He was apologetic and ask to send an email with the details to him. I don't think this hotel gives a service that justified the charges

Hotel Oga Reach situated by the lake Yodakandiya Tissamaharama offers stunning views . Hotel staff is friendly and food is good . The spacious rooms with quality bedding and a great view added to the experience. The pool is also very nice and has an excellent view… The prompt resolution of issues despite limited staff was commendable. However, the bathroom drain problem and the initial delay in assistance were minor inconveniences. My overall positive experience and the quick problem-solving showcased the hotel's potential. My suggestion for improvements in staffing and readiness during arrivals would undoubtedly enhance the quality further. Overall, My stay at Hotel Oga Reach seemed to be enjoyable despite some minor hiccups.

My stay at Oga Reach Tissamaharamaya from September 22-24, 2023, was absolutely wonderful! The serene a**osphere, friendly staff, and comfortable accommodations made it a memorable experience. The lake view from Oga was beautiful and we also could have a boat ride in the lake which was a soothing experience and I highly recommend it for a peaceful getaway.

Great Hotel with Great food and an amazing view. Highly recommended for Vacations with a peaceful environment and the best view. Lake view Room is highly recommended. They provide safari facilities to visit yala on request

The best stay ever. The environment was pleasant and welcoming. Overall, I had a great experience with the Oga Reach, staff was incredibly helpful, and the amenities were great. The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect. Would definitely stay there again.

Great experience. Lake View Rooms. The rooms are clean, the staff are friendly, food is nice and a great swimming pool with sun beds. What else can you ask for. It's near the safari too. Will definitely be back again

The fact that various areas of this hotel have been planned to emphasize the building's historical past impresses me. The hotel is at a fantastic location close to many historical places and beautiful cultural landmarks. With all the facilities you might want, the rooms are roomy, contemporary, and comfy. Given that Tissamaharama is based around several locations, getting to appealing places is really convenient.
