Lavendish Okrin Hotel

My wife and I stayed at Lavendish Leisure on the 22nd December 2025. After arrival, we were shown to our room 305 on the second floor, with the hotel staff carrying the bags to our room. The external appearance on entering the hotel is not impressive. However, the airconditioned room was quite spacious and clean with fresh white sheeting on two queen sized beds. The long table on one side of the room allowed us to keep our baggage there comfortably. Other items in the room inculded a tv, fridge, a kettle and tea bags and a stool. The far side of the room opened to a veranda that had four chairs and a little table. I enjoyed my evening drink seated there. This corridor in all rooms overlook the swimming pool located on the first floor. The toilets were clean. The towels were fresh. They phoned us and requested us to order our dinner from of the available menu items. We had fish and chips along with soup as our main dinner meal and a fruit platter as dessert. It was tasty. Although the restaurant was quite large, there were not many guests. The dinner service was quick and prompt and waiters friendly. Food was tasty. The buffet breakfast had a wide variety of dishes both Sri Lankan and Western.

Peaceful location and outstanding service. We booked two double rooms but were thoughtfully upgraded to spacious family rooms to accommodate a large arriving group — and we were never disturbed. Each room was large, spotless, and comfortable, with two double beds and an efficient AC. We were also granted an early check-in even though official time is 14:00. We requested vegetarian rice-and-curry for lunch since we were visiting the Kataragama Maha Devalaya in te evening — the meal was wholesome, home-cooked and delicious. Lunch was à la carte; breakfast and dinner were buffet-style and well presented. Driver quarters are available (first-come, first-served). The staff were friendly and courteous throughout. Special thanks to Ms. Anusha in the restaurant for her helpful, refreshingly positive attitude. Overall — a very pleasant stay; highly recommended.

We are a family from Malaysia, we booked 2 nights at Okrin Hotel. The resturant staff Ms Anusha gives good service although they are lack of manpower. She serves with a smile and apologetic to the guests when the situation is not in the guests’ favour. Continue with the good job!

Wifi is poor. Hot water in bathroom takes long time to come. There is a bar but not any varieties

Staff did'nt know english and also rude. For dinner initially they told us that only 2 items are available. Only after another guest who was sitting in the next table mentioned a menu then they brought the menu. Both food quality and service was poor

The staff were professional but a bit curt. The buffet was delicious. The cleaning people do a nice job but maybe overworked.

Nice and comfortable stay. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and good location. Worth the price. I had a wonderful stay! The staff went above and beyond by organizing a surprise birthday celebration for my sister.It made the experience truly special. Highly recommend!

Over all good,especially service of the stewardess Anusha at the restaurant and food is very good .House keeping,Reception service also good .

Miss.Anusha's food and beverage service is excellent.
