Für 2 Näcjte ok, länger würde ich jedoch nucht bleiben.
Pros:

Nettes Personal, sauber, heiss Wasser.
Gute Sicherheitshinweise.

Cons:

Das Trühstpck war gür Sri Lanka recht basic, da waren wir etwas anderes gewohnt. Das ist vermutlich der low season geschuldet. Der Service von Wasamtha war dafür sehr gut.

Rivora Heights
Pros:

This hotel is outstanding. The room was gorgeous, huge for poster bed, beautiful furniture, mix of old and modern done tastefully. Big balcony with a great view. Super clean, great mattress and loved the day bed. The shower was great even with its own view. The staff are 5 star trained, customer service is impeccable, friendly and so professional. Breakfast was limited for veg/vegan (no plant based milk available) though I was given double portions of fruit and a freshly made roti/curry to my liking. I couldn’t have asked for more. Wasantha served me breakfast daily in the rooftop restaurant, what a view! he was so professional, friendly and took care of me very well. Thank you! 100% recommend and would love to return.

Cons:

Minor and luckily I had a little of my own, though offer oat/soya/almond milk for vegans ;)
Photos on Booking.com don’t reflect how beautiful the rooms are

Pros:

We stayed a night while we came to see dalada perahera. Hotel was good calm and relaxing small space was well planned and managed.
Restaurant on 5th floor is with a nice view.
1.5 k.m from vehicle road to kandy, bit difficult with kid’s or elder parents but we luckily managed with tuk tuk. Staff is super friendly and helping….

I would stay again…nice memory
