    Stayed at a place that provided free WiFi, amazing continental breakfast, and had a lovely garden. Also, enjoyed exploring the natural beauty of Yala National Park on bicycles.

    Just loved sharing one bathroom with other rooms on the floor. So convenient and private.

    The hotel is conveniently located, with an easy walk into town and close proximity to Yala National Park for safari options. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with spacious apartments available. The manager is friendly and helpful, providing detailed explanations upon arrival and arranging safaris at reasonable prices. The included breakfast is delicious, and the hotel offers extras such as drinking water, coffee, and toiletries for a comfortable stay.

    The wifi connection was affected by heavy rainfall and periodically went out.

    The service at Cool Nest Yala was exceptional. We were pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome and genuine hospitality of the staff. The room exceeded our expectations in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The highlight of our stay was the delicious traditional breakfast served to us, which included milk rice and sambol. On top of that, the host went above and beyond by offering us a complimentary drop-off to the bus station. The peaceful atmosphere and absence of hidden charges made our experience even more enjoyable. highly recommended for a relaxing stay.

    One of the highlights of my stay was the complimentary daily continental breakfast. It was like having a delicious breakfast buffet spread right at my fingertips - a treat to look forward to each morning!

    Tea charges were unexpected.

    I absolutely loved the cozy and charming atmosphere at The Cool Nest Yala Hotel. The decoration had a rustic and traditional feel, which was very appealing to me as a senior woman. The general areas of the hotel were well-maintained and easily accessible for someone like me. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the hotel in ensuring that senior people like myself could move around comfortably.

    I would have liked the children working there to provide more assistance specifically tailored for senior guests.

    The Cool Nest exceeded our expectations with their excellent service and accommodations. the host organized a fantastic safari trip to Bundala National Park and provided a delicious breakfast to take away. We were even given a scooter to explore Tissamaharama, which was a highlight of our trip. the host also offered laundry services and cooked traditional food for dinner which was absolutely delicious. This hotel is perfect for those looking to explore beyond Yala National Park.

    The check-in process was smooth and the caretaker went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. He even let us borrow his bike to go out for dinner. The breakfast provided was substantial and packed for us since we were leaving early. The room was clean and comfortable, with air conditioning and mosquito nets. The hotel was set off the main road, so there was no traffic noise. The location was also convenient, just a short walk from the bus station.

    The hotel only had one shared bathroom per floor, which was a bit inconvenient. there wasn't a balcony attached to the room, but rather a common balcony.

    I had been wanting to visit Yala National Park for a long time, so I chose Cool Nest Yala Hotel for its convenient location. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had a car rental service available. This made exploring the area much easier and more enjoyable. I especially liked the fact that the hotel had a balcony, dining area, and seating area, which provided a comfortable and relaxing space to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

    While the room was spotless, there was a slight bug problem in the facilities. However, I brought this issue to the attention of the hotel staff and I am positive that it has been resolved.

    The hotel had a good location, close to the city center and bus station, making it convenient for exploring the area. the room was clean and tidy, and I appreciated having access to the kitchen facilities. the staff was friendly and helpful, providing recommendations and organizing a safari for us.

    The safari organized by the hotel was a disappointment. the driver/guide was not knowledgeable and we felt like we missed out on learning about the animals and the park.

    Spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen, and a small garden. Warm, welcoming hosts who go above and beyond for guests. Attention to detail, especially for honeymooners. Reasonable prices for safari tours. Efficient organization, even when the host was away.
