Bra läge och bra pris.
Pros:

Lummig och skön miljö, en lite bäck som porlade nedanför balkongen med rikt fågelliv och grädden på moset utsikt mot Sri Pada.
Bra och väl tilltagen frukost, french fries till middag sticker ut, riktigt goda.
Trevlig och kvick personal i största allmänhet god och vällagad mat.
Här behövs varken A/C eller fläkt det är tillräckligt svalt för en nordbo och den iskalla duschen ser till att man vaknar på morgonen.
Här går man ner i hotellet inte upp.

It's a backpacker's hotel: Right size your expectations
Pros:

Proximity to Adam's Peak - it's an easy walk to the entrance from the hotel.
The manager and the wait staff were very friendly and helpful.
Delicious buffet on the second night of our stay!

Cons:

The room decor was extremely sparse and outdated (again, this is a backpacker's hotel).
We only had cold water in the shower, but did have hot water in the sink.
The linens needed to be cleaned.
What was the most difficult was having to walk up and down three steep flights of steps to our room. This was a killer after climbing Adam's Peak.

Ein Hotel zum Wohlfüllen und Nahe am Sri Pada (Adams Peak)
Pros:

Das Slightly Chilled Hotel hat eine hervorragende Lage: Zimmer mit direktem Blick zum Sri Pada und wenige Minuten von der Aufstiegsstelle zum Sri Pada entfernt. Geräumiges und helles Zimmer, das sehr sauber ist und außerdem ruhig.
Die Familie, die das Hotel führt, steht einem mit Rat und Tat zur Seite und gibt wertvolle Tipps zu lokalen Naturschauspielen, z.B. Morey waterfall

Pros:

Mooie uitvalsbasis om Adams Peak te beklimmen. Ligt vlak bij begin van de klim. Super aardig personeel die helemaal ingesteld zijn om ontbijt te verzorgen nadat je 's ochtends terugkomt van de klim naar Adams Peak.
Mochten ook later uitchecken om even uit te rusten en te douchen.

Pros:

Die super Aussicht auf einen Fluss, den Garten und den Adam's Peak. Ausgesprochen hilfsbereites Personal. Tolles Frühstück, selbst wenn man sehr spät noch von der Nachtwanderung zum Adam's Peak kommt.

Cons:

Es gibt nix zu meckern 😉

Extremely pleasant and convenient
Pros:

We stayed here as we wanted to climb Adams Peak in the morning. The dinner and breakfast were very nice and the hotel reasonable. The host was very kind and allowed us a later check out, as we had been up early to climb the Peak,

Great family run base for Adams Peak
Pros:

Family run and very friendly. A view of the Sri Pada - Adams peak. Delicious barista coffee - the best in Sri Lanka.. Got up early for us to pack a lunch before we walked up the mountain. Organised a guide for our Dad who was very patient. Communal dining area with great views up to Adams peak. Very accommodating for dietary requirements.

Cons:

Nothing
