Precioso e impecable
Pros:

Es un pequeño hotel decorado con un gusto excelente e impecable. Quizás le falta algo de jardín, para mi gusto, pero en ningún momento dice que lo tenga, así que no te engaña. El trato del dueño es excepcional. En general, muy recomendable.

Pros:

Nous sommes restées qu'une nuit mais pour la beauté du lieu et la gentillesse de Ashane nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps. Ashane nous a beaucoup aidé, par exemple à trouver certains produits que nous recherchions. Le petit déjeuner était le meilleur que nous ayons pris au Sri Lanka. Nous retiendrons avant tout la bienveillance, le bon coeur et le gout de Ashane pour la décoration.

Perfection!
Pros:

We stayed at Still Waters Artistry for our first night after flying in from Australia and it was truly 11/10. Everything about this accomodation is just perfect. Beautifully designed, perfectly clean and peaceful.
Ashane and his partner are so kind and couldn’t do more for you. Don’t skip the breakfast! Absolutely delish.
We couldn’t recommend this experience more. 🫶🤎

Pros:

A truly unique hotel with a soul. This is the first time I've encountered such service, and it was the best welcome I've ever received in all my travels. Everything was so thoughtfully thought out, every detail, so much attention and care. The owner himself is truly unique; it's clear he loves his hotel and brings many new ideas to it. He's genuinely welcoming and ready to help with any questions. Compared to other hotels, he responds to requests immediately. We were greeted with cool mango juice and a refreshing face mask. The room is spacious, with a unique interior, a separate kitchen where you can make tea and coffee, a water cooler, and a refrigerator. This is the first hotel in Sri Lanka where we didn't have to wait for food; everything was served as quickly as possible. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. The breakfast was so beautifully presented that we even took a photo of it. The owner also gave us some nice souvenirs as a keepsake. We were very pleased and surprised by this reception; it was top-notch!

La camera era estremamente pulita, spaziosa e con tutto il necessario, anzi di più.
Pros:

Il proprietario è estremamente disponibile, accogliente e ti fa sentire a casa. Ciò che differenzia questa struttura dalle altre è proprio l'aspetto umano e i piccoli dettagli che ti fanno sentire un ospite unico.

Pros:

Hotel elegante, raffiniato, estremamente curato in ogni dettaglio. Il proprietario è un appassionato di design ed ha ideato questa struttura ispirandosi a Bawa ed altri grandi architetti. L'arredamento comprende pezzi unici realizzati da artigiani locali e pezzi provenienti da diverse parti del mondo. L'accoglienza è stata impeccabile, ha superato ogni aspettativa. Ottima la colazione. Ubicazione centrale e tranquilla, comoda per l'aeroporto. Rapporto qualità prezzo insuperabile. Il miglior alloggio di tutto il viaggio di un mese in Sri Lanka. Torneremo sicuramente.

Cons:

Nulla.

10/10
Pros:

Es war alles sehr sauber, wunderschön eingerichtet und wir hatten einen tollen Service. Der Besitzer hat uns einen Fahrer vermittelt, welcher sehr zuverlässig und nett war (der Fahrer war so freundlich, dass er uns am nächsten Tag direkt noch nach sigiriya gefahren hat). Wir sind sehr spät angekommen, da wir in der Nacht gelandet sind. Wir wurden trotzdem sehr freundlich begrüßt, mit einem kleinem Willkomenseis und kalten Handtüchern. Der Besitzer ist wirklich sehr zuvorkommend und angenehmen. Wir können jedem wirklich nur empfehlen in dieser Unterkunft unter zu kommen. Wir werden zu 100% wieder hingehen wenn wir aus colombo zurückfliegen. Nicht zu vergessen, das Frühstück war sehr sehr lecker und umfangreich. Vielen Dank für den tollen Start in unsere Reise!
