The Flower Inn is in walking distance of the Sigirya rock is, but the same goes for a number of other guesthouses. In our opinion the lady owner wasn't as friendly as we read in some of the other reviews. The food didn't win our heart either: the rice and curry tasted like leftovers. (Good thing there are some nice... More

Stayed here one night to see Sigiriya, which is only a 10 min walk away. You'll love it if: - you like kitschy, clashing decor, dolls and teddy bears, paper stars hanging from the ceilings and bouncing in the fan wind - you don't mind being told by 'mom' where and when to sit for dinner and breakfast even if...

Both our guide books (one English and one French) highly recommended this place for its charm, the warmth of the welcome and quality of the food, so we didn't bother to check reviews on tripadvisor and booked one night. The owner was in fact unfriendly: she explained that she had a lot to do when we arrived and would attend... More

If you like bed bugs, this place is for you! Really, my body will remember that night. My back still itches for those bed bugs. But the room seemed nice and clean. The decoration is interesting with all those flower.

Why the places that are manitoned in Lonely planet change after they've been mentioned there? It is listed as one of the friendliest places, but it's far from that. The owner isn't very friendly and after promissing one room rate, she adds service charge. That was the only place which added it to the room rate, it's normal at restaurants,... More

Lovely warmly decorated rooms picked up our mood after a long day of travelling. Big comfortable beds and great curries for din should you chose to eat there. Such great value for money at R1500 a night....

We stayed at the Flower Inn some time ago now. We had a lovely time during our visit. The owner was very kind and spoke a good level of English. She made an obscenely large spread of food which was all delicious and very well priced. She catered for our dietary requirements as well (veganism). Guests eat together around a... More

We stayed there 2 nights, it was fine. Rooms are quite spacious with big old beds (we recommend to you use your own sleeping bag), mirror, plastic chairs and bathroom - only cold water, very poor look, the shower is a pipe sticking out of the wall). It is very basic accomodation, 1500 R/night, ok for 1 - 2 nights.... More
