Alles hat gepasst. Wir würden wieder kommen :D
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal.
Ordentliche, saubere Zimmer.
Hauseigenes Restaurant mit sehr gutem Essen.
Umfangreiches Frühstücksbuffet.

Cons:

Es gibt Zimmerkategorien bei denen die Fenster nur auf einen kleinen überdachten Innenhof sehen. Wer Wert auf Aussicht und lüften legt sollte die bessere Zimmerkategorie buchen. Da hat man Blick auf die Stadt und einen eigene Balkon. (Wir hatten für eine Nacht ein gratis Upgrade bekommen :D)

No pagaría lo que pagamos por esa estancia
Pros:

Parecía moderno

Cons:

Estaba sucio, el aire acondicionado hacía mucho ruido y el ventilador más. Nos pusieron una cama supletoria súper incómoda.

Pros:

The view from the hotel is very nice

Cons:

May be i had higher expectations, but I was not overly impressed by this hotel when I got there. There was nothing majorly wrong, but I did not feel I am in a top tier hotel. There were flies all over breakfast and nobody was doing anything about them.

Pros:

Na twee weken rondreizen was het geweldig om in deze luxe kamer te verblijven met zijn vieren. Het is heel ruim, schoon en de badkamer hebben we ervaren als een spa, met een jacuzzi. Een heerlijke plek om bij te komen. Het ontbijt overtrof onze verwachtingen en ook 's avonds hebben we de meest heerlijke maaltijden voorgeschoteld gekregen in het restaurant met de heerlijkste desserts ooit. Prachtig uitzicht.
Goede locatie ook voor een bezoek aan Kandy en vanaf het restaurant uitzicht op de tempel met de tand van boeddha. Aanrader!

Pros:

Breakfast was delicious, beds were comfortable, good location. Room was clean.

Cons:

Our room wasn’t cleaned / water wasn’t replaced despite us requesting this from the staff. The shower took at least 15 minutes to heat up - huge waste of water waiting for it to heat up. We found it an expensive stay for what we got.

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
Pros:

La scelta degli arredi.La vista sul lago e sulla città. Il letto comodissimo.

Cons:

La piscina dovrebbe essere riscaldata. E dovrebbero risolvere il problema delle scimmie , non si può tenere il balcone aperto e ne tantomeno stare seduti fuori al balcone.

Verblijf 3 nachten
Pros:

Het personeel was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het restaurant (en ontbijtzaal) zijn op de rooftop wat je mooi uitzicht geeft over de stad en het meer.
De kamer was geweldig met zeer goede bedden en ook voor ons zoontje (1,5j) was er een mooi babybedje voorzien. Het leuke terras met prachtig uitzicht zorgt ervoor dat je hemels kan ontwaken 's ochtends.

Cons:

Het was jammer dat het zwembad aan de kleine kant is en vooral dat het wat weggestoken zit in een hoekje van het gebouw. Het ligt op een lagere verdieping met langs 3 zijden de rest van het hotel wat maakt dat de zon er niet aan kan en het water dus redelijk koud is.
Voldoende om er even een verfrissing te zoeken na een warme dag maar niet om er enkele uurtjes in de zon te liggen.
