Prima
Pros:

Super behulpzaam en lief personeel. Maken altijd tijd voor je voor een praatje en ze willen alles voor je doen om je blij te maken.
Uitgebreid ontbijt.
Gaaf uitzicht over de stad.
Leuke speeltuin + zwembad

Cons:

Het ligt wel heel erg afgelegen. Wij vonden dat juist erg fijn qua weg drukke stad. Je MOET een tuktuk hebben vanuit het stadscentrum. Als her regent is dit wel een uitdaging ivm de steile wegen.

Bester Ausblick von Kandy
Pros:

Das Personal war extrem hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend – stets freundlich und professionell. Das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet und hatte alles, was man braucht. Der Blick vom Balkon war atemberaubend. Der Pool war schön und eine willkommene Erfrischung. Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch das leckere Frühstück.

Alles war super👍🏼

Pros:

Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding, alles was heel proper. Mooi uitzicht. Moderne kamer.

Cons:

Sommige zaken mogen wel eens aangepakt worden, ons gordijn viel van de rails, de lakens waren proper maar versleten. Het restaurant was 's avonds niet open. Kamers waren eerder gehorig.

Pros:

Ilus aed ja mõnus bassein. Eemal linnakärast ja liiklusest. Vaade super ja saab nautida päikeseloojangut.

Cons:

Tuleb arvestada, et kõrgel asub ja jala kuskile väga ei liigu.

Wonderful stay with great views of Kandy
Pros:

Beautiful pool & park. The room was large and spacious with exceptional views of the mountains. The staff was amazing , always making sure you have everything you need. Breakfast was delicious and very filling.

Cons:

I like the fact that it’s outside the city center but for those who don’t want to take a Tuk Tuk to get around - it’s something to consider

Very poor service, and not what advertised on booking.com
Cons:

I didn't like being woken up at 23.20 by the reception phoning the room to ask if I was in the room so they could lock the main gates.
I didn't like waiting for breakfast being served at 08.10 when the website states 06.30 to 09.30 and the manager stated 08.00.
