Idealer Standort für den Besuch des Löwenfelsens
Pros:

Das kleine Hotel liegt ideal, um den Löwenfelsen und die Umgebung zu besuchen. Es liegt in einer ruhigen Straße mit kleinen, netten Restaurants, der Pool ist schön, die Anlage großzügig, das Frühstück lecker. Wir haben ausserdem den Shuttle-Service vom Flughafen Colombo und die Weiterfahrt über Dambulla nach Kandy wahrgenommen- alles bestens geklappt.

Fantastisk vistelse!
Pros:

Snyggt modernt fräscht välstädat rum! Bästa av allt är terassen mot poolen med bekväma rottingfåtöljer! Tror alla rum har utsikt mot poolen?! Stor fin pool som vi tyvärr inte hann utnyttja. Solsängar kring poolen.
Skön bred säng, stort badrum, bra tryck i duschen med varmvatten, Frukosten är ungefär detsamma i hela Sri Lanka men här fick man den godaste omeletten, pannkakan och korven på våra +2 veckor i Sri Lanka! Trevlig personal!

Cons:

Lite lyhört.

Struttura davvero bella e in posizione molto comoda, vicino a ristoranti e all’ingresso per la Lion Rock. Le camere sono grandi e pulitissime, con vista e balcone privato sulla piscina. Cibo ottimo, sia colazione che cena. Lo staff è gentilissimo e accogliente.

A lovely, well-located accommodation in a beautiful little town.
Pros:

Lovely staff. Very kind, helpful and friendly. We also loved the pool. The accommodation is also really well-located - just a short stroll into the centre and just a couple of minutes from some nice restaurants (although you can also eat at the hotel’s own restaurant). We enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

It was all good.

A lovely peaceful haven with amazing staff and a great pool. It was spotlessly clean with a great shower and very comfortable large bed. Excellent value for money. Would definitely stay again.

El mejor hotel en el que he estado en todo mi viaje a Sri Lanka. La habitación era estupenda, las instalaciones de la piscina perfectas, todo muy limpio. Tienen un restaurante y hicimos varias comidas alli y muy ricas. El desayuno una maravilla, el mejor desayuno de todos estos dias. Y el personal encantador, te ayudan en todo, te organizan todo aquello que necesites y siempre estan ahi con una sonrisa. Espectacular.

Nice hotel with a great pool
Pros:

The room was basic but nice and comfortable. The pool was great and location was perfect for seeing the sights. Staff were friendly and helped organise an elephant safari for us.

Cons:

The prices stated on the mini bar menu were much lower that was actually charged when we left (almost double!) so be aware!

Prachtige locatie, heerlijk eten, aardig personeel
Pros:

Locatie en zwembad waren top. Ontbijt was uitgebreid en heel lekker. We hebben beide avonden ook gedineerd en het was heerlijk. Locatie ligt goed voor lion rock. Personeel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Regelden een tuktuk naar cave temple.

Cons:

Klimaat in de kamer was moeilijk te reguleren met de airconditioning. Douche was wat krakkemikkig
