Très belle maison et bon accueil
Pros:

Un accueil chaleureux avec un personnel souriant.
Les chambres sont propres, confortable, petit bemol pour l’odeur qui remontait de l’évier de la salle de bain..

Cons:

Nous avions prévu de manger au restaurant du logement qui fermait à 22h. Nous sommes arrivés à 21h et que deux plats (raviolis des pays de l’Est surgelés) étaient disponibles.. un peu dommage à mon sens. Mais le propriétaire a été très gentil en allant nous chercher des bières dans un mini market non loin de la maison.

Peacefull Place
Pros:

Sehr schönes und friedvolles Hotel! Besonders gut hat mir die Einrichtung und Deko gefallen
Es lädt zum entspannen ein und wohl fühlen.
Gerade nach einem stressigeren City Trip und Anreise konnten wir uns im Hotel sehr gut erholen und entspannend.
Die Einrichtung wirklich sehr schön und schaut besser aus als auf den Fotos. Tolle Atmosphäre.

Essen: ich kann die Magic Balls sehr empfehlen :)
Und vielen Dank für unser leckeres Lunchpaket mit Paprika, Omelette, Salat und Tomate

Danke für eure herzliche Gastfreundschaft, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Tolle Unterkunft mit viel Liebe zum Detail
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet.
Man fühlt sich an der 1.Minute wohl wenn man dort ankommt.

Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt und können diese Unterkunft absolut weiterempfehlen! Der Eigentümer war unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und jederzeit bemüht, uns den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Er hat uns viele hilfreiche Tipps für die Umgebung gegeben und sogar einen Taxifahrer für unsere Weiterreise organisiert – ein wirklich großartiger Service!

Die Lage ist ebenfalls perfekt: Die Unterkunft liegt etwas außerhalb von Kandy, sodass man die Ruhe und eine entspannte Atmosphäre genießen kann. Gleichzeitig ist man mit dem Tuk-Tuk in nur etwa 10 Minuten mitten in der Stadt.

Wir haben uns hier sehr wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Gastfreundschaft!

It was only the private driver we booked, because he wanted us to make his trip, where he get permission for and Not, what we wanted to do. But this was not the personal of the hotel

Absolutely Wonderful Stay – Highly Recommended!

A PLACE TO RETURN!
Pros:

I loved staying in Gangulla! Such a beautiful hotel! So chill and comfortable. Bed was amazing. Room is huge and I could even practice exercises in it. I had a beautiful balcony from which I could have breakfast looking to the mountains around. Very peaceful and it has a cute garden to relax and read a book. I never left their main sofa, sooo comfy place! The hotel is always very clean, Dinesh is amazing, Lado, the chef, was so patient with me all the time with my delays for breakfast. The place is on the top of a cliff and you can see the city woth its lights at night.

A beautifull decorated hotel outside the center, where the staff makes sure you have the best experience
Pros:

One of the most beautifully decorated hotels I have ever seen; it feels like you are living in a museum. The restaurant upstairs has a beautifull view and the you can taste the care that the cheff puts into the food. One of the best breakfasts I had. Their is a new owner now for a few months, he makes sure you have everything you need. He and his staff were all the time making tea for me, so sweet!
The rooms are beautifull and their is very comfortable bed. The location is very peacefull, in 10 minutes with tuktuk you’re in the middle of the center. There it is very busy, so I was happy to go back to the peacefull accomodation.

Cons:

The room has a thin wall, so there can be a lot of noise
