Ok but not the 5 Star that was expected
Pros:

Great location, easy to get to Sigiriya Rock
Staff were friendly and helpful
We tried to ignore the rough bits in the room and enjoy ourselves anyway

Cons:

Room was Ok, not so clean and towels were very grey and ugly looking
The furniture was broken and looking very shabby
I would not class this hotel as 5 star, more like 3 star

Pros:

The ourside garden area and
setting of the Villa. There was a platter of cut fruit in the room.

Cons:

The pics were deceiving. The rooms are outdated and smelt musty.
The service at breakfast was lacking. Breakfast was from 6.30 to 9.30 am, however, at around 8.45am, the cheese, fruit etc. platters were almost empty and not replenished.
There was a constant noise of some sort of machine staring and stopping the entire night, disrupting sleep.

Feel unsettled when I realised the main door lock is not secure.
Pros:

Environment is nice.

Cons:

The main door, toilet door and the fridge door all not working. They have to change the lock for the main door because I can use my key to open 2 others room. Toilet door can fix, need to bang. it really hard for it to close. Fridge door took sometime to resolved. Never encountered a place that all 3 doors not working ...

Hezký hotel, blízko Lví skály
Pros:

Velice pěkný hotel, ale využili jsme ho pouze pro přespání. Do hotelu jsem dorazili až kolem 22 hod. Ráno jsme ještě za tmy vyšli na prohlídku Lví skály, nejdříve pěšky, ale byli jsme místními upozornění na možnost volného pohybu slonů, takže jsme mávli na první Tuktuk.
Snídaně byla formou samoobslužného bufetu, dalo se vybrat. Dobré byly omelety.

Cons:

Vybavení pokoje - skříně už jsou zastaralé, ale ani jsme do nich naše věci nevybalovali.

Pros:

Pool was nice, check-in good, room overlooking hotel area, convenient location to the local attractions (e.g. Lion Rock)

Cons:

Stairs only to upper level rooms (no lifts), had to report water pouring out of the pipes at our room door/back of the building (which meant water pouring on you trying to get up/down the stairs to room), and the pipe issue meant no hot water in shower. Breakfast buffet was limited and again upstairs. Hotel not suitable for any mobility issues even if had a ground level room. Stairs to access everything - reception, breakfast, coffee/drinks bar.
