Angenehmer Aufenthalt
Pros:

Ich habe mich wohl gefühlt, das Zimmer war sauber, der Besitzer und Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich. Ich konnte mein Motorrad vor dem Hotel parken. Der Ausblick und Sonnenuntergang sind sehr schön.
(Die Bewertung bezieht sich auf ein Doppelzimmer, die Dorms hatten eine Situatiom und ich bekam ein Upgrade)

Complete Waste of Money
Pros:

It's really hard to find any positives with so many downsides, but the view was nice.

Cons:

I'll start with the welcome. When we arrived, there was no one there, and we waited for almost five minutes for someone to come. The welcome was far from polite. The person who greeted us was the only staff member at the hotel. Afterwards, when we went to the room, it was absolutely freezing, damp, and neglected, although I think many hotels in the area have this dampness problem. The cleanliness was practically zero. When I lifted the pillowcase, hairs came out from underneath. Everything was dusty, and even the toilet paper in the bathroom hadn't been replaced; there were only a few sheets. We requested an extra heater, and they brought one, but it took several hours for the room to warm up.Also the Wi-Fi didn't work in the room.For breakfast, we went down to the smelly kitchen area. The breakfast supplies were insufficient, and the staff member made an omelet, but despite having many ingredients (like onions and garlic, which foreigners would avoid), they didn't ask us what we wanted, even though we were the only ones staying at the hotel. We left the hotel without eating anything. Unfortunately, it was the worst accommodation experience we had in Sri Lanka, and there were many options in the area where we could have spent the night much cheaper. As two student travelers, we left very, very unhappy and disappointed.

Pros:

Location is accessible to lake gregory and city easily accessible by short ride. View is great. Lounge area is good with lot of antique collections. Outdoor garden area is lovely.

Cons:

Dampness on walls, washroom hot water did not work properly , and there is a cctv in the separate lounge area which is also a part of family room.

The linens and blanket provided is bit old stuff. WIFI had weak signal in the room. Overall room looked very old which needs renovation and modern interior, which may add value to the property.
Also, there is no T. V in the room.

Cool and cozy stay
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful when we arrived and provided a lovely breakfast both mornings we were there. The dining room has a tea/coffee area where we could help ourselves, also a water cooler. The room itself was nice and spacious with a beautiful view, and the bed was really comfortable. The location is not right in the town centre, but we found it easy to walk around. You'll notice the cool climate definitely helps. The first night we walked down to Themparadu for dinner and that was fantastic. Our room also had a balcony and we could exit via an external door if we wanted to.

Cons:

We can't really fault anything about House of Leisure.

Comme si on était en Angleterre
Pros:

Cet hôtel est très cosy et typique, les chambres sont grandes et il y a même un coin salon pour se reposer ou boire un thé. La vue est exceptionnelle sur les plantations de thé.
Le petit-déj’ est parfait.
Vous êtes à 20 minutes à pied du centre-ville, mais il y a beaucoup de Tuktuk qui passent et peuvent vous y conduire

Cons:

Une couverture supplémentaire dans l’armoire pourrait être la bienvenue car il fait vraiment frais La Nuit. Mais là ce n’est pas du ressort de l’hôtel concernant la météo

シャワーとトイレの距離が近い事に慣れていないので、慣れていない人はビックリするかもしれないです。Wi-Fiの表記が見つけられませんでした。
