Pros:

It was my favorite place to stay in Sri Lanka . I stayed in the cabana just next to the pool and it was really great , a lot of privacy and nice room with everything you need and the view over Kandy .

Cons:

A bit noisy ( cars , tuktuk ) but with earplugs at night was fine .

Very nice
Pros:

Good location for sacred tooth relic temple. Great staff

Cons:

If you struggle with walking up hill you will need a tuck tuk to get back to the hotel - not an issue for us so don’t be put off by the slope but be aware.

Für uns war das Hotel Yo: seht zentral gelegen, schönes Gärtchen am Pool und verhältnismäßig Günstig.
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt zentral leicht erhöht am Hang.
Wir hatten ein Häuschen direkt am Pool das auf Stelzen stand. Sehr schön gestaltet. Das Frühstück war Landestypisch und gut, auf Wunsch wurden Eierspeisen gemacht. Leider haben wir kaum Fotografiert.
5 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt lag das Hideout Lounge Restaurant. Sehr coole Musik zu leckem Essen. Wir waren 2 Abende da.

Cons:

Die Geräusche der Stadt bzw. der vielen Straßen haben mich gestört da ich Ohropax dabei hatte, war es aber ok.
