It was ok, but we wouldn’t stay here again.
Pros:

The rooftop bar

Cons:

The food quality for a supposed 5 star hotel falls well short of the mark. The room is “tired” curtains don’t close fully. Cup mark rings in the furniture. Didn’t have a selection of coffee available for breakfast. We had a do not disturb sign on our door but the staff still rang us at 0920hrs to ask if we were coming to breakfast, we wanted a lie in!
In our opinion this is at best a 3 star hotel based on other hotels in Sri Lanka which we stayed at.

Short 3 Day Stay
Pros:

The Location was very good, the room was excellent reception staff and concierge were good.
Room service was also good.breakfast was also excellent.

Cons:

We found the Sky lounge was very hit & miss.
If you were close to the bar, service was good but in the dining area very poor.they would walk past tables with used plates on and just leave them.
The cook the food downstairs and sent up just does not work especially when you have a dining room.
We found that when the food made it upstairs to you in the Sky Bar it was warm at best. Its not top quality food its only average .
So overall food and service disappointing

Very bad
Pros:

the location and view of hotel is good

Cons:

our breakfast is included in the package.
the sever come and serve us and ask what we drink, coffee or tea. we ordered cappuccino and iced americano. She did not told us this was extra charged. until we finished the breakfast and back to room. and after that we going to check out, the receptionist showed us the bill and we were totally shocked as we don’t know there was the charges!
We complaint why did not told us at first. The sever came at reception and said she did. The guy seems like the manager said that they will not show the price list unless we need to ask for.
But the problem is we did not even know it is not included in the breakfast, if we did we will not order as it is totally not necessary for us to have coffee.
it was just a small amount but not necessary and in the hidden situation.
it was a shame and we did not have the pleasant stay at the end by this awful experience.
Please be careful what have you consume here.

Fantastic hotel on the hills of Kandy
Pros:

We really loved this place. Clean, big room, amazing view. The buffet for breakfast and dinner was extremely tasty, a lot of options, also for vegetarian people. The staff was very welcoming. We used the laundry service and our clothes were ready after one day. We would really recommend it.
