Hotel Rock Face

Hotel Rock Face is a small one-star hotel at Rathmalgoda, Poruwadanda, in the Kalutara district. With only a handful of rooms, it keeps things personal: air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, an outdoor swimming pool, a terrace, an on-site restaurant and conference rooms for small business events. Room service, a garden, bicycle rental and an airport shuttle round out the offer.

The hotel sits a short distance from Poruwadanda town, between Horana and Ingiriya, with Richmond Castle and the waterfalls of the Thudugala valley reachable for day trips. The conference rooms give it a business-travel side unusual at this price point, and the airport shuttle connects it to international arrivals. The Thudugala Ella waterfall and the Fa Hien caves are within reach for nature-minded day trips along the Colombo–Ratnapura road. For travellers on the Colombo–Ratnapura road who need a quiet, affordable overnight stop, it is a handy and well-run inland pause.
