2-Star Hotels in Tissamaharama

We highly highly (!) recommend this place - as a hotel & safari tour. It’s a family owned hotel from the boss (the lady), her husband and son - they are always around and super supportive. I had regular contact with them before through WhatsApp. They organized for us the private whole day Yala safari tour (5am-6pm) for a great price (a MUST do which was fantastic with the Jeep driver Prisana - only do the tour with them see also below), and also taxi drivers for a great price). We had the big double room with A/C and warm water. It can be easily 4stars from a SouthEast-Asia standpoint. Rooms are a great size, bed is very comfy, bathroom is also great size. It’s very clean. The overall hotel looks really nice, in the middle of the jungle, with lots of birds etc around, nice veranda on the ground & second floor. Restaurant is also running by the family. Awesome food (best Kottu in Sri Lanka) and it was also cheap. You can spend there easily 2-3 days when you do 1-2 safari tours down there. Payment only in cash. I wouldn’t look for another hotel & safari tour! :) La Safari Inn Hotel organized for us the whole day safari tour with the Jeep driver Prisala (hope I write the name correct :)) which was fantastic. We had really the feeling that he tried to provide us the best experience we can get. We saw many many elephants incl groups of elephants, 2 leopards, many crocodiles, birds etc.) price was also good. Food was fantastic which was prepared by the hotel La Safari Inn. I would only book the tour with La Safari Inn if you are down there. You can also do half day tours. But we had the feeling that after lunch (there is a break from 12-2pm and nobody can drive through the park in that time) that you see many more animals incl elephants in the afternoon.

Fantastic Yala Safari and great little hotel! We had a great time staying here - and went on a great Jeep safari with Pasanna organised through the hotel. The whole family (2 teenage boys) were totally enthralled by the safari and would totally recommend Pasanna! We went on the full day safari (starting at 430am … totally worth the early start to be the first in the park!!) - which allowed a full day of immersion and a slightly more relaxed pace. (The half day safaris seemed much less relaxed…). Pasanna the driver/ guide has over 13 years experience in the park, had great 4wd drive skills, clearly knew all of the possible routes in the park - and was passionate about showing us all that was possible in the park! He was excellent at spotting hard to see animals! Note that all jeeps have to have 12-2 as rest time in the park …. We easily passed it having lunch and reading books- when the jeeps are not allowed to drive around) . We managed to see a great selection of animals including 2 leopards (which I hear is very rare), multiple families of elephants with their babies which we were able to watch for an extended period of time, water buffalo, deer, samba deer, mongoose, jackals, monkeys, peacocks, lots of amazing birds, crocodiles, monitors and bats. It truly felt like the jungle book. We got home tired, but truly satisfied with the experience! Definitely felt like it was value for money.

Tisser is relatively small, and Baita and Man-made Lake are a few kilometers away from the shop, so you need to drive there. If you want to eat Chinese food, you need to take a tuk-tuk or drive there. It’s about a half-hour drive from Yala. Remember to pack breakfast for the next day in Yala. The overall hygiene is not bad, and there is a place to dry clothes. To stay in the store, you need to walk down the narrow stairs with your suitcase. Don't eat in this restaurant, it's unpalatable and expensive. Because I didn’t eat lunch here when I left, the boss didn’t help carry the luggage anymore. The room rate is more than ten yuan more expensive than the online booking. There is parking lot.
