Raňajky super domáce. Klasická Srí Lanská kuchyňa.

Pros:

The house is a beautifully restored historic house. The employees were mostly really nice and helped me with transportation and other tips.

Cons:

There was some confusion on the checkout time. I thought it was 12, when it was really 11:30. A staff member - I believe it was the owner or some manager - was really rude about it. He could have told me nicely, but his communication was not ok.

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Parawa House. Breakfast was generous and delicious. Rooms were beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The location is quite central and the service was amazing. Should specially mention Ms. Samitha who manages the property who was friendly and helpful. The price was quite budget friendly for such a good experience!

Cute Colonial house with great team
Pros:

Cute little colonial house. The manager Samitha was a great hostess, and made the extra effort to arrange hoppers for breakfast even though her main chef was on leave that day. Fiaz who is the senior staff member was great, looked after us well the whole time.

Fantastic!
Pros:

Very clean
Fantastic location - a super easy walk around anywhere in the fort which was important for us with kids
The streets felt safe to wander around after dark (when it is cooler, this town gets hot!)
Lots of options for eating in the surrounding area
Good air conditioning
Comfy beds
Bathroom had the shower at the opposite end from the toilet, design of shower meant the rest of bathroom didn't get wet
Windows in bathroom could be opened to air it out (although not whilst showering as they are low)
Shampoo, shower gel, soap and hand towel provided
Very friendly staff, and very kind and welcoming to kids. They offered some extra toast for my daughter for breakfast who is a picky eater and unfortunately wouldn't eat the Sri Lankan breakfast
Helped us with a tuk tuk to get to the train station when we left
