Pros:

Personnel au petit soin, chambre et vue magnifiques. Piscine très agréable. Un grand + pour la masseuse qui était au top pour un prix très abordable. Encore merci à elle.

Cons:

Rien, tout était génial. Petite proposition pour améliorer la qualité du logement : une lumière pour le miroir (ringlight)

Pros:

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at this small hotel in the hills just outside Kandy. What a joy to be away from the noise and pollution of the centre of town! Our room was huge and luxurious with excellent air-conditioning, mini fridge and a spacious modern bathroom with an exceptionally good shower.
We also had access to a large outside terrace with magnificent sunset views.
The staff were all so gracious and accommodating; special thanks to Roshan who looked after us so well in the dining room. We ate at the hotel both nights- they have a menu including Sri Lankan and international food which was freshly cooked and delicious ( especially the beetroot and fish curries!) Breakfast was also excellent and we were delighted to try the local natural curd yoghurt with our fruit (yogurt being something we hadn’t been offered previously in Sri Lanka. )The hotel also has a lovely pool terrace with loungers and offers an efficient laundry service.
Overall a 5- star stay- highly recommended!

Ok
Pros:

Breakfast was ok loved the service but room A/C wasn't working even though I repeatedly messaged you’ll. I personally can’t say this is a 5-star experience

Cons:

The lizard in the room after informing them I’m allergic to insects and creepy crawly… we were three and had only one shower gel one soap one water bottle 😳🤷🏻‍♀️

Beautiful scenic stay
Pros:

Elegant Hotel is set in a beautiful location with stunning views, and the pool area is especially lovely - a great place to relax away from noise of the city. The hotel feels peaceful and well maintained, and overall we really enjoyed the atmosphere.
A special mention to Roshan, who provided genuinely excellent service. He was attentive, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. His professionalism and kindness really stood out and made our stay even better. My partner and I also had an amazing full body massage which we would definitely recommend

Cons:

Nothing, everything was to our liking.

Es war nett
Pros:

Wer Ruhe sucht ist hier richtig, jedoch braucht es eine gute halbe Stunde ins Zentrum von Kandy. Das Personal bemüht sich sehr.

Cons:

Das Personal kann teilweise sehr schlecht Englisch, dadurch kam es zu Missverständnissen. In meinem Zimmer hatte es noch einen sehr alten Teppichboden drin. Allgemein riechen die Zimmer etwas nach Feuchtigkeit. Es
fehlen ein paar Sonnenschirme beim Pool.

This is a good choice of hotel which could be a great choice if attetion was paid to details
Pros:

Room was impressive on first appearance and maintained this appearance largely. Garden, pool area and public areas all lovely. Staff mostly excellent especially Roshan whom we dealt with mostly. Food good to very good and service very good also

Cons:

After initial impression the little flaws mounted. You notice small areas of the building left unfinished. No hand towels provided and told the face flannels were hand towels- No! Apart from a few soft drinks only 1 type of Lion beer and 1 red wine on offer- really in a hotel! Then the beer was served tepid and had to ask twice before they chilled it properly. Failed to come to fix tv on request until I had to go to reception. No butter only margarine at breakfast and when butter was request told they had none - a hotel kitchen that has NO butter - really again!These and odd other little things mounted up to leave the feeling that every effort to impress had been made up to a point and then they stopped bothering

Tout était parfait, du premier jour au départ c’était génial.
La personne de l’accueil et d’une gentillesse enfin tout le monde était gentil et au petit soin.
Le lit était très confortable nous y avons parfaitement bien dormi.

Dommage que les rideaux ne soit pas occultant c’est tout ce que j’ai à redire.

An elegant hotel with elegant staff and a lovely calm atmosphere!
Pros:

Location and view exceptional! Very helpful and kind staff, incredible service - really cared that we had everything we needed. They tailored the curry to our tastes and the food was amazing! Very high quality at a very good price.
I only wish we had longer than one night there in our busy itinerary as they had an Ayurvedic treatment room, and cookery demonstrations!
Perfect! I honestly shed a tear at the beauty of the view 🤩

Cons:

The pool isn’t heated and I’m a chicken these days!

Stunning mountain location near Kandy
Pros:

Stunning rural location - might not suit people wanting city buzz but if you are wanting peaceful surroundings with incredible views close to Kandy then we highly recommend. Staff were very friendly, wecoming & helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Due flight delays we didn't arrive until 9.30pm. We were served welcome drinks and the chef cooked us a very good meal. The garden and valley are full of varied & beautuful birds. We also saw mongoose, lizards, chipmunks and had monkeys run across the roof one night!

Cons:

Our room had no wardrobe or hooks to hang clothes.
