All in all, the experience was positive.
Pros:

Parking was made available. Quick response from the owner and the staff to issue that needed attention, they were very attentive to the us. Morever the staff were friendly and easy going. The balcony view was one of the best sights ever, highly recommend.

Cons:

We booked two rooms of which, one did not have a cold water supply and the bathtub drian was blocked. Things like this needs to be thoroughly checked otherwise this could pose a serious Health & Safety Issue.

Truly enjoyed my stay, from the beautiful views, to the well-kept room and friendly, helpful staff!
Pros:

Fantastic hotel with excellent customer service - they know how to treat guests right. The room also had the most beautiful views of the Kandy Lake, just out the balcony! I would sit out there and have my tea every morning I just couldn’t get enough. Will definitely be returning here for my next visit.

Good
Pros:

Central location

Cons:

No hot water
Either fan or Air conditioning available to use at a time, not both together
No cooked dinner available because not many booked that day. They needed to make dinner only for me. Dinner was very small potions served. Not much choice was there.
