Séjour absolument parfait, correspond bien à son prix!
Pros:

Magnifique hôtel avec excellent emplacement, buffet aussi gargantuesque que bon ( petit déjeuner et dîner) pour un prix plus qu’acceptable.
Piscine propres et agréable, chambres nickel. La petite odeur d’humidité est habituelle dans les pays tropicaux donc pas de panique! Salle de bain superbe.
Personnel adorable et aux petits soins.

Cons:

Les bus de touristes… parfois bruyants et « envahissant » en salle à manger comme autours des chambres..

Overall, the stay was disappointing due to several basic comfort issues, despite a comfortable bed and nice interior.
Pros:

The comfortable bed and the modern, well-designed interior were the best parts of the stay.

Cons:

There was no hot water during the stay, which was very inconvenient. The Wi-Fi connection was poor and unreliable. The room lighting was uncomfortable, with multiple spotlights directed straight at the bed instead of proper bedside lighting. Power outlets were very limited — I had to unplug the bedside lamp just to use the electric kettle.

The room was not soundproof, and noise from outside and neighboring rooms was clearly audible. Additionally, the pool was not heated, which was disappointing.

un hôtel incroyable à la lisière de la jungle
Pros:

je crois que de tout mon séjour au Sri Lanka, l’hôtel Aayu Hanthana a été mon préféré!
la localisation est super, au calme et à la lisière de la Jungle, donc à part le passage de qques singes et animaux sauvages, vous serez tranquilles! (notez qu’il est en dehors du centre ville de Kandy, a 10min environ en tuktuk ou voiture, mais ca a été un super compromis pour nous)
le personnel est incroyable, aux petits soins, et disponible! (ils nous on même préparé un petit déjeuner avant l’heure habituelle car nous devions partir tôt).
et les chambres sont spacieuses, propres et la déco est juste magnifique! (il n’y a pas de climatisation, mais ça n’a pas été gênant pour nous car les nuits ne sont pas très chaudes)
on a vraiment adoré cet hôtel, on se serait même senti d’y rester encore 1 ou 2 nuits de plus, c’est très proche d’un service d’hôtel de luxe, merci au personnel de l’hôtel qui a été super!

Great, beautiful place, especially when you want to escape from busy Kandy the
Pros:

The staff was really friendly, welcoming and very helpful. The host helped us a lot when our train tickets to Ella were cancelled and gave us a good alternative.

Pros:

Loved the interiors and the top-notch service left us in awe of the place.

Cons:

Not really not like but it's just a bit far up the city centre. If you're looking for accessibility to city this might not be the place but if you have a car / tuktuk / bike for commute it's a fab place to try out

Un séjour au calme de la jungle
Pros:

L’hôtel est très agréable situé tout près de la jungle. On peut apercevoir des singes depuis le balcon. Les chambres sont très confortables. Nous n’avions pas de wifi dans la nôtre et le personnel nous a très gentiment changé de chambre. Ils sont au petit soin!

Cons:

L’hôtel est à 15-20 min en tuk-tuk du centre, mais c’est largement faisable.
