Good location with a very laid-back vibe.
Pros:

A quiet property located 15-20 minutes on foot from the city center. The staff was welcoming, though the service follows a very laid-back Sri Lankan pace. Our 3rd-floor room didn't have a working Wi-Fi connection, but it was a good excuse to unplug. Make sure to order your breakfast with plenty of time to spare, as everything is done slowly and with ease.
