Hotel Lion Inn  

Right in the very center of Bandarawela — a compact base for exploring the hill country. You’re close to Dambatenne Tea Factory, Lipton’s Seat, Ravana Falls and Amphitikanda Tea Estate, so tea-country day trips and short walks to town landmarks are easy.

A relaxed, no-frills hotel/guesthouse with simple, comfortable rooms. Rooms feature showers, TVs, a desk and complimentary bottled water; amenities vary by room category. The property mixes a garden and barbecue area with a casual bar and restaurant for a friendly, outdoorsy vibe.

Free Wi-Fi across the property, on-site bar and restaurant, barbecue grills and a garden to unwind in. Rent bicycles for local rides, get help at the tour desk to book excursions, and use laundry and a safe-deposit box on site. Wake up to tea-scented mornings before heading out.

Complimentary wireless internet, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and laundry facilities. Free self parking is available onsite.

On-site restaurant serving local Sri Lankan flavors and a bar for relaxed evenings. 24-hour room service is available if you prefer to dine in after a day exploring the tea estates.
