Nice room on the lakeside
Pros:

Our room was very nice wth a view over the lake, large bed and table and arm chairs for relaxng. Large modern bathroom. Hotel has a restaurant but it was closed on the day we were there, but there are two restaurants 1 mins walk (Indan Summer highly recommended). Locaton of the hotel on the lake allows access to lake front park and walk, 1000 LKP fee applies. Hotel is a 5 mns tuktuk ride from centre of Nuwarra Elyia. We stayed for one night connectng to Ella train.

Cons:

The hotel has 3 floors, but no lift, staff assisted with luggage to room.

We left early.
Pros:

It had a nice balcony overlooking the lake. Puma was friendly.

Cons:

The bed was really hard and uncomfortable. The bathroom had a terrible smell. An extremely busy road cut in front of the hotel before the lake (which you had to pay to walk round). Long walk on a busy dusty road to town.

Lovely views but hotel a bit tired. Lovely helpful staff
Pros:

Staff were helpful and dealt with issues as quickly and as best they could. Nice views from room( except for rain) breakfast quite good except for juice.

Cons:

Bedroom dated and not very clean. Bed linen damp( possibly due to awful weather) but they did change it quickly and brought us a fan heater. Had a brief power cut which they also sorted asap.
Possibly most of these issues due to bad weather. Rooms could do with updating.
We slept ok despite road noise.

Comfortable good value hotel
Pros:

We were a family of 6 staying for one night. The room was well appointed and clean, and the staff very friendly. The views of the lake were very pleasant and town centre was an easy 10 minute walk away.

Cons:

There was nothing to comment on here. We didn't have breakfast as we had an early start.

Cons:

Facilities in bathroom can be improved ....
Need additional rails to place clothing ...MrSugeewa immediately took action to install facility to keep toiletries in bath area .....
Price of room which is rather high should include complimentary breakfast like before ...
The window panes in the room should be changed to sound proof ....lot of noise disturbances until late at night ...problem for light sleepers ...

Great Location
Pros:

The Hotel Location by the Lake was great, the View from the Room in the morning was amazing, the hospitality of the staff was heart warming.

Cons:

there was some kind of a festival nearby with very high music which kept playing until almost midnight.
the sound isolation in the room could have made it better.
