Extrem sauber und sehr bemüht - Ähnlich europäischen Verhältnissen!
Pros:

Mit Abstand das sauberste Hotel in dem wir in 3 Wochen auf Sri Lanka waren. Absolute Empfehlung. Super nettes Personal und sehr sehr leckeres Essen!

Cons:

Die Unterkunft liegt direkt an der Straße und man hört den Straßenlärm leider wenn man am zB. am Pool liegt. Ansonsten absolut empfehlenswert!

Perfect short stay
Pros:

Location is perfect to visit near Sigiriya and the stuff are super welcoming. I forgot some of my stuff at the hotel they were kind enough to ship it to me. They helped us to get a safari trip from the hotel. It was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this place.

Würde jederzeit wiederkommen
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist sehr zentral gelegen aber trotzdem total ruhig. Die Anlage ist sehr neu und modern. Wir hatten ein sehr großes Zimmer, das mit allem ausgestattet war, was man braucht. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das Personal, das rund um die Uhr dafür gesorgt hat, dass es uns gutgeht und uns nichts fehlt.

Tiny teething issues but would 100% recommend
Pros:

Great location if climbing the rock - 10 min drive away.
New rooms and staff really went above and beyond.

Cons:

There was some teething issues with the new rooms. It wasnt very prepared for rain and small things like the bathroom doors didnt shut properly. Also there were quite a few flies at breakfast. We understand that it’s all being fixed at the moment so will definitely recommend you booking it!
