    superior room
    great service
    high-quality meals
    overall maintenance

    The superior room provided during my stay was excellent, featuring a veranda atop the building. The service was commendable, particularly from staff members Dilan and Kaushalya, who ensured all requests were met with a smile. Breakfast was of high quality, and I enjoyed every meal at the hotel's restaurant, which offered a delightful selection.

    Overall maintenance could be improved.

    garden views
    smoke issues
    disruptive noises

    Stunning garden views offered a picturesque setting.

    My stay was sadly marred by smoke from nearby fires, making the balcony unusable. The staff continuously tried to sell wellness services rather than provide a relaxing experience. On multiple occasions, constant noises from upstairs disrupted my sleep, affecting my overall enjoyment of the hotel.

    shaded pool
    welcoming staff
    noise disturbance
    smoke issue
    disinterested clientele

    The pool area provided a perfect retreat from the day's heat, beautifully shaded for comfort. Friendly staff catered to our every need and made us feel welcome. Unfortunately, persistent noises from the upper floors disrupted the night, and a few encounters with disinterested guests added to an uncomfortable atmosphere. Smoke from nearby fires made the balcony unusable, limiting outdoor options. The food, notably the Sri Lankan rice and curry, stood out as exceptional and made dining a highlight of our stay.

    noisy upstairs
    bathroom issues

    The room had a charming decor with tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast offered a nice selection, but some dishes were cold. The location was serene, surrounded by nature, yet the water pressure issues were noticeable.
