Pros:

The hotel was nice but they couldn’t find our reservation and wanted to charge us for a rate they charge people who show up last minute. I went into my Expedia app and messaged them and then they could find it. Room was nice and clean.

Nice stay in Kandy with great view.
Pros:

We spent one night here in a nice and spacious room on the fourth floor with great views. The service is nice, the room menu is provided from a nearby restaurant. Breakfast could be more fancy, but if you are into Sri Lankan breakfast you'll enjoy.

No room at the inn
Pros:

We arrived at the hotel after a long bus ride to be told they'd double booked our room and we were out of luck. We were taken to a sister hotel of lesser value & with no view. There, a series of negotiations lasting over an hour took place to convince us to stay. This included a cash rebate of some of our monies on checkout. However, on checkout, no-one knew anything about it. Very disappointed.

Family room
Pros:

The hotel perfectly suited a one night stay for a family. It seemed a little out of town- on a hill and the festival was on so it was great for that night to be a bit quieter for children. All in all 8-10 mostly due to lack of personality

Disappointing stay
Pros:

Disappointing stay. Basic things like a guest manual in the room to outline services available and basic info about hotel is not available. There is no restaurant on site and I believe breakfast is served on level one but again no signs or info about times or menue. There is a fridge in the room but empty. No water provided! The lift stops between floors which is strange. Bathroom is big and includes a bath but can not be used as plug is leaking. The shower is in the bath but no screen provided so water is all over the floor. No shampoo or conditioner provided or hair dryer. The bathroom smells as there are no windows, wifi is available but password is only provided on request!! We stayed in Sri Lanka in hotels significant cheaper with much better basic service and guests focus.

Pros:

We were staying in Kandy as a layover to head north. We felt pressured into using the ‘tours’ provided by the hotel, when we were just looking to get transferred to our next accommodation. We felt misinformed about the public transport by staff at the hotel as they wanted us to use their facilities. Other than this the hotel had a great buffet breakfast!! The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. The bathroom needed some maintenance, but nothing major.

何よりスタッフが誠実で感じ良い。
Pros:

このサイトで予約後間もなくホテル側から直接、挨拶と無料送迎サービスのメールが届いた。キャンディ駅から車で15分位の、静かな場所にある。周辺は住宅地のようだったが、部屋からの景色は良く、朝は鳥のさえずりが聞こえてきて、キャンディはいい所なあ、と思った。
ホテルのディレクターのZameekさんと、ガイド兼ドライバーのLaxmanさんには、本当にお世話になった。母と私の希望を聞いて、オリジナルのツアーを割と手頃な価格でアレンジして貰った。Zameekさんには、翌日宿泊予定のヌワラエリヤのホテルまで、単に効率良く案内するだけでなく、スリランカの事を色々教えてもらって、道中面白かった。ヘアピンカーブがひたすら続く道を、またキャンディまで帰るのは大変だったと思う。運転、お疲れ様でした。ありがとうございました。

Like staying in your friends hotel
Pros:

We felt really well looked after especially after my wife needed to go to a doctor urgently late on our second night - the staff found a lovely doctor, organised a tuk tuk, sent a staff member with us to make sure we got to the doctor ok and the medicine needed.

In general, the staff we great, very friendly and helpful. Always asking was everything ok, did we need any help but not pushy.

We really liked the breakfasts, which changed a little every day but plenty of fruit and local Sri Lankan food.

We organised for the hotel to pick us up from Colombo airport when we arrived. Despite our plane being delayed the driver was waiting for us, and made sure we got some food and water before we departed.

Mr Laxman, the hotels resident tour guide, was brilliant. He suggested several things in and around Kandy but we had our own ideas and he was happy to help with whatever we wanted. His English is very good and he knows the entire area very well. He realised we liked to try different food, so would stop randomly and pick up fresh fruit for us as we went around. He organised a wonderful day trip to dambulla and a safari. His team of drivers were very good and happy to stop anywhere along the way.

I've grown weary of hotel guides that just push their standard trips on visitors, but Mr Laxman was very helpful in getting our preferences met. He even brought us traditional homemade new year's food on new year's morning when we were leaving.

très bon rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé (à 15min à pied de la gare et en bas du quartier des affaires, collé au Dutch Hospital). Chambre confortable et très propre. Je le recommande pour y séjourner en transit à Colombo!

Hotel was OK, nothing grand for the price.
Pros:

Hotel was a kilometer away from city center, room was large and comfortable, but a small TV was placed far for viewing. No in house restaurant, food was supplied on request.

中心地から少し離れていますが
Pros:

中心地よりも坂を登った上の方に位置していました。スタッフが素晴らしかったのと、部屋が清潔で広く、個人的には素晴らしいホテルでした。ドライヤーはフロントで貸してくれます。歯ブラシはありません。次の日の朝食もとても美味しく、また、キャンディからヌワラエリヤまでの移動の車もとても良心的な料金で用意してくれて、素晴らしい滞在となりました。
