Pros:

The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I checked in around midnight, and despite the late hour, they were waiting for me and gave me a very warm welcome. The food was also delicious and enjoyable.

NO se queden en ese Hotel.
Pros:

Nada, muy mala experiencia.

Cons:

La habitación estaba en el sótano del hotel había que salir del hotel para poder llegar, habían bichos en la habitación. Ruidosa como si no tuviera paredes. El servicio a la habitación pésimo. Después de tres horas preferí cambiarme a otro hotel. No es 4 estrellas, hay hoteles más baratos y bastante mejores. Pagué por absolutamente nada, ni disculpas dieron. La peor experiencia de Sri Lanka.

Better alternatives available.
Pros:

Large room & comfy bed.
Price ok.

Cons:

Mould on the bedroom wall and bathroom ceiling. Location different from Booking.com map so further out of town than appears on the map. Add on breakfast expensive compared to other accommodation in the vacinity. No alcohol available in hotel. Did not address reported maintenance item (safe not working) during our stay. Would not provide ice when requested (9:45pm) Very steep road to access property.
