White fortress - more like a Cockroach Castle
Pros:

Parking space

Cons:

We arrived to the reception area, the guy at the reception didn't speak english only some words here and there. He insisted we pay first and then go to the room. The only possible payment possibility was in cash, so we left the place, went to the atm and come back. After paying we went into the room and found trash in drawers and the room was smelly so we asked to changed the room. We changed to a bigger room, which looked more decent, the smell was still present but not so intense. The sheets were crumpled, there were stains all over the place and the reception guy told us he can only give us one water bottle for free even though there were 2 of us. We were in the room for some time, in between the reception guy kept on coming and bothering us with some things which he was not able to articulate in english. We were ready to go to sleep when the first cockroach crawled out. Then another. Then another and then another. We killed 3 cockroaches, 1 got away and climbed under the bed. We called for the reception guy and showed him the dead cockroaches and that we would like a refund and that we will not stay in this place. He came and removed cockroaches but didn't want to give back the money. We asked him to call the owner. The owner was rude from the start, we explained the situation and requested refund and he just said that cockroaches and mosquitos are a normal thing in Sri Lanka and that he will not return the money. We said that we understand it happens but if you have cockroach infestation in a room is something else. We insisted on refund, which he didn't want to give and we said we will call the police, that this is a scam and he said he is not afraid of police and he doesn't care. He also seemed intoxicated. He hung up on us. Then we asked the reception guy for at least a half refund. No one offered to change the room for us. Since it was midnight and we had to go early on the road we didn't had a different option then to stay in this...

Pros:

The place is little out of the city, but it's very easy to arrive with tuk-tuk from the centre. Even with local buses ( this is what I also used ). I prefer this zone than the busy, hot city.
Around is a huge natural area with lakes where you can walk, chill. You can find small shop just few minutes or a big supermarket to 15 minutes walk. Also it is close a little local market for nice food.
For visa issues just 10 minutes ( tuktuk) the visa office.

I took a budget room, was comfortable and very clean. It's with AC, towels. Front of the room is a huge living room if you want to chill or have some snacks. Also fridge. The place is quite and relaxed all time. So good for rest.
The bigger rooms are also great with place and windows.

Cons:

There was nothing bad. Only the light was not enough strong in the room, I can't read.
