Cons:

В ванной все в плесени, в номере грязно, постоянно выключался свет (из-за этого ночью переставал работать кондиционер). На завтраке есть почти нечего

Great location, but a run down hotel.
Pros:

The location is good, the facilities are good. They were very helpful with a small passport related emergency.

Cons:

The hotel is a little run down, with some stained linens and irregular housekeeping. They would provide water bottles but would say that we needed to pay extra for them; however, they did provide them the one time they cleaned our room. The bathroom vents need deep cleaning because they smell bad. The food is average. The tea and coffee are served cold during breakfast, and so are the curries. The place does not seem to be value for money.

Pros:

Чудесный вид на море из номера. Сам номер неплох, но ничего необычного. В целом всё хорошо.

Cons:

На мой взгляд цена сильно завышена. Да, это Шри-Ланка, но за такие деньги практически в любой азиатской стране можно снять люксовые апартаменты со всякими там джакузи и окнами в пол на 30м этаже

Pros:

The room's view was spectacular & I was told it was the best room in the hotel.The staff were friendly & the food was tasty.

Cons:

It is an older hotel so there were some minor issues with heavy rain seeping through the window/door & small harmless bugs creeping in which isn't so bad as I've witnessed this at new hotels as well & it can be the norm in tropical countries.The bathroom was functional but the appearance as well as other minor concerns perhaps could be improved, as it is a beautiful location & a nice hotel other than that.
