Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with a stunning view from the balcony, well-equipped with plenty of storage space, a fridge, and complimentary tea & coffee. However, there were some minor issues with the bathroom mirror. The service was delightful overall, though there were moments of shyness towards foreigners and a bit of pressure to visit certain locations. The location was excellent, high up in the hillside with an amazing view and close to the main attractions. The dining experience offered mostly Western options that could have been better with more local and traditional Sri Lankan dishes. The facilities were great, offering various services and amenities.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were nice with a breathtaking view over the lake and town, but cleanliness could have been better. The service was exceptional, from a warm welcome with tea to assisting with transport arrangements. The location was high up on a hill, offering a stunning view but making it a bit inconvenient to reach city amenities. The dining experience was acceptable but not exciting, offering a basic Sri Lankan breakfast. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was amazing! The rooms were clean and spacious, offering beautiful views across Kandy. I loved having a balcony to enjoy the fantastic floor-to-ceiling views over Kandy and the lake. However, it was a bit disappointing that there were no cosmetics in the bathroom. The location was great, with nice views of the Temple of the Tooth, but the noise from monkeys at night was a bit disturbing. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice with a large window overlooking the lake and the Temple, offering an amazing view of Kandy from the balcony. However, the breakfast was just passable and nothing special. The service was helpful overall, but there were some inconsistencies with cleaning. The location, while fascinating with great views, had some check-in issues. The dining experience was comfortable, but there was limited self-service options for tea. The facilities were decent, but there were some areas with room for improvement in terms of service and value for money.
The hotel offers a spacious room with a beautiful view, a good bed, and convenient amenities like a balcony overlooking the lake, a wifi router, and a tea kettle. However, the cleanliness falls short with dust, marks on bedding, dusty curtains, and a subpar bathroom.
