Pros:

Вид из номеров был просто великолепный!

Cons:

Персонал просит оплату в LKR, по невыгодному курсу и обманывает, что это банковский.
Трансфер от отеля предлагают очень дорогой 45 000 LKR, От Kandy до Nuwara Eliya. Нашли за 25 000 на 6 человек большой VEN

Good location and good price with a pool
Pros:

The location was great for walking to Kandy Lake, it was nice to have a pool although it does not look like the photographs anymore. It was good value for money to say it had a pool and the location to town. Breakfast was good and the staff were lovely and friendly.

Cons:

It was quite run down in places, especially the pool area but we were only there for 1 night and it ticked all the boxes for what we needed.

Humidity is an issue in certain rooms so check the room upon your arrival. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay
Pros:

It is located close to the center. The breakfast was good and in a room with nice views over the lake.
We didn’t use the swimming pool, it looked nice to refresh and swim a bit.

Cons:

We booked a room that had no sliding windows and when we arrived it had a big humidity smell. We were offered a room with sliding windows over the garden for 3000LKR extra per night or with views over the lake for 5000LKR extra per night. There are monkeys in the area so windows need to carefully be opened. I would recommend booking the rooms that face the back.
