Serene Park Hotel by Ark

Our room and the hotel were great! Yasith and his team were very helpful and catered to all our needs. We really enjoyed the sunset from the rooftop, had a very spacious and comfortable room and a nice post-safari dip in the pool. We also enjoyed walking along the lake and watching thousands of bats cross over at sunset. You can easily walk into town to have dinner. Thank you for everything!

My original plan of a 1-night stay turned into 3 nights purely based on the property and the team. The rooms are spacious and well appointed, with clean linen and towels. The wooden floors are a nice look and feel. The air-conditioning works very well. An unbelievable amount of space for work / lounging. The room itself has a work desk which is perfect for remote work. The balcony is small but functional, and overlooks the majestic Tissa Lake. Spacious terraces on the 1st and 2nd levels as well as a rooftop with spectacular views of the surrounding fields and the lake. I got plenty of work done and attended web-based meetings in peace, against an amazing backdrop. At the end of the day it is the people that make a difference, and this is where Yasith and his team were exemplary. From his kind, attentive service to the care he displays to guests and the property (and of course by the way he treats Kalu, the adorable orphaned puppy), Yasith leads from the front. I noted among other things his meticulous bookkeeping skills, which is a rare find for any property. Suffice to say I have found my stay whenever I return to Tissa. What better place for a morning/evening stroll than the bank of Tissa lake. For any reasonable person willing to stay at a 3-star hotel and not expect 5-star amenities, Serene Park Hotel by Ark has all the right things in place. Full disclosure, I did not have any meals at the premises; as I am very familiar with Tissa I enjoy the many local options available nearby.

A very beautiful place with a stunning view Lovely clean accommodation all amenities needed for a comfy stay Friendly helpful staff lovely clean and most welcome pool Close to Tissa by tuc tuc or walking A definite recommendation to anyone who just wants a peaceful stay

Sehr tolle Unterkunft in grüner und ruhiger Lage! Ein besonderes Lob gilt den Gastgebern! Wir haben wirklich selten solch zuvorkommende und freundliche Gastgeber gehabt. Sauberer pool, gutes Essen, besondere grüne Umgebung. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft definitiv.
