Room may not have a view!
Pros:

Beautiful view where breakfast is served on the rooftop. Elevator available. Friendly staff. Close enough to the main strip and easily walkable. Excellent water pressure.

Cons:

Mattresses were old and uncomfortable, whole room was pretty old and needs a renovation. Some sheets were dirty upon arrival but were quickly changed. We had the family room and there is no mountain view. I wish the pictures were taken with the curtains open so one can know what view to expect. I suppose this was intentional. The whole point we booked this hotel was thinking we would get a nice view. We paid for the more expensive family room only to be disappointed when we stepped out onto the patio.

Brilliant facilities, stunning location and the friendliest staff we have come across - highly recommend!
Pros:

The best stay of our Sri Lanka trip so far. The room was lovely and comfortable with a stunning view. The property is in an excellent location, a 5/10 minute walk from the town centre yet it feels quiet and peaceful. Our main takeaway was the staff who were incredibly helpful and friendly - in particular Charuka and Nimisha. We cannot recommend this property more.

Cons:

The only issue we had was the shower didn’t drain properly so the floor would flood

Good hotel
Pros:

I think everything was mostly good, specially front desk lady Nimesha was perfect. Helped us in many ways, example arrange massage, trip to waterfall etc.
Other staff members was also so nice!!
Breakfast was okay, nice views from the rooftop (and also from the roofs).

Cons:

Bed was not so good, it would be good to renew bed mattresses.
But even though we got good sleep.
