Pros:

The open air restaurant is a lovely place to eat and drink. The Sri Lankan breakfast is fantastic, so delicious.
There was a fridge outside our room that we could use, which was great to keep our beers cold

Cons:

The location is quite a distance from anything interesting.
Our room was smaller than I expected. The balcony was not really a balcony you can sit on, more like a window that you can open, so we of course never used it.

Nous recommandons globalement cet hôtel !
Pros:

La chambre est grande, la salle de bain est moderne et il y a un balcon privatif. Le rooftop est un vrai plus. La clim et la wifi fonctionnent très bien. Le personnel est serviable et le rapport qualité prix est bon.

Cons:

L’hôtel en lui même manque de modernité. Nous avons attendus très longtemps le petit déjeuner. Il est un peu loin du centre ville. Mais pas de gros point négatif.
