Charming..quiet
Pros:

I love the view…and the lovely young lady at the front desk very sweet..the charm of the place..I loved my balcony with the fabulous view..bed was comfy..3 night stay. Love that it’s so near everything’s but away from main road and on an easily walkable hill. Nearby is the lake and food water and shopping plus some restaurants easy walk. There is a bar restaurant like a block away and the Garden Club tennis center super close with a bar.

Cons:

The shower was…in need of update but fine for the 3 day stay:)

Pros:

The hotel was in a good location up a hill off the lake and approx 20 min walk to Kandy centre. Our room was large & had a balcony overlooking the lake area, It was clean & well equipped with nice bathroom & a kettle & tea & coffee & bottled water. The breakfast was pleasant & included juice & fruits followed by cooked breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful, we would stay here again.

Cons:

Nothing apart from there were no toiletries in the bathroom as stated on booking.com but the staff soon brought up soap & smaĺ bottle of shower gel when I asked.

Though they said you have a beautiful view of the lake you couldn't see it .
Pros:

Not very tasty and no options. Not at all a good breakfast.

Cons:

Breakfast, washroom facilities( door of the shower is broken and had to handle carefully as not to get it fall on your head)

A large family house that is being re-purposed into a hotel.
Pros:

The location was good, you could walk into Kandy in 20 mins or Tuk Tuk for 200-250SLR. The staff were friendly. The breakfast was good, although they should let you know your options. The views were quite good, however, “ lake view” is stretching it a bit! We could just see a small part of the lake. Bathroom & shower were good. When we couldn’t get wi-fi in our room, they put a router into our room for us.

Cons:

They don’t have a Card machine ( despite Booking.com’s T&C’s)- so they require cash payment. The room didn’t look like the Booking.com’s photos. Some of the furniture needed attention. The air con dripped onto the balcony.

Slightly outdated but big rooms and good breakfast
Pros:

Big rooms! Easy location to get tuk tuk into Kandy for food. Nice breakfast.

Cons:

We had a broken and flooded toilet and had to change rooms to a smaller room without a view but still had to pay full price for the deluxe room (which was not cheap!). Rooms quite outdated and showing signs of wear.
