Bien pour un court séjour
Pros:

Hôtel sur les hauteurs de Kandy, offrant une jolie vue sur la ville. Chambre rudimentaire, adapté pour un séjour de passage et au tarif correct. Bon petit-déjeuner.

Cons:

Peu d'eau chaude et l'eau avait tendance à s'étendre sur l'ensemble de la salle de bain. Nous avons dû demander un balai à la réception pour pouvoir la diriger vers le conduit d'écoulement.

Peccato!
Pros:

Lo staff è stato sempre molto disponibile e presente, gentile e attento alle nostre richieste. La posizione è ottima per visitare la città, comoda e strategica per raggiungere i principali punti di interesse. Anche la colazione è stata abbondante e di buona qualità, con una buona varietà di scelta.

Cons:

Purtroppo abbiamo riscontrato una scarsa pulizia dei locali, letti poco comodi e il problema della doccia con acqua fredda. Si tratta di aspetti fondamentali che hanno influito negativamente sul comfort del soggiorno.

Pros:

Le personnel était très charmant et d'une gentillesse.
La chambre est d'un confort correct, pour une ou deux nuit cela convient bien. Le petit déjeuner local était exceptionnel ! Nous nous sommes régalés.

Cons:

Pas de petite bouteille d'eau en arrivant, le ventilateur fixé au plafond ne fonctionnait pas correctement, impossible de régler l'intensité. Il faisait assez chaud dans la chambre.

Bez fajerwerków, ale wart swojej ceny.
Pros:

Korzystaliśmy z dwóch pokojów: deluxe i normalny. W deluxe dwie ściany są przeszklone - ładny widok. Deluxe ma też klimatyzację i łazienkę z oknem, co jest dużym plusem - naturalne wietrzenie. W pokoju normalnym jest tylko wiatrak, na szczęście dobrze działający. Oba pokoje mają balkony z widokiem na morze zieleni. Hotel jest położony w okolicy pełnej podobnych obiektów. Blisko stąd do jeziora i centrum Kandy, a jednocześnie cicho i spokojnie. Tuż obok jest szkoła, co ma swój urok - rano można słuchać śpiewów dzieci :) Śniadania były bardzo obfite i można było solidnie najeść się na cały dzień, aż do wieczora. Obsługa w porządku. Można zlecić pranie, aczkolwiek będzie to zwykła przepierka, jedynie dla odświeżenia garderoby.

Cons:

Nie było niczego, co szczególnie mogło irytować. Obiekt ma lata świetności za sobą, ale jest całkiem przyzwoity za swoją cenę.

Molto gentili
Pros:

Il proprietario e la sua famiglia molto gentili. Avevamo sbagliato le date della prenotazione e per loro non è stato un problema.

Cons:

Si trova fuori dal centro, su una collinetta anche difficile da raggiungere col van. Nel letto mancava il lenzuolo superiore. Camera basic con muffa alle pareti.

Amazing stay with amazing staff
Pros:

The staff are really great. They even provided us with Sri Lankan cuisine in breakfast and we requested for more!

Cons:

The way to the property is quite steep. I hope they put up a better signage so people will not get lost finding their property.
