Tutti i comfort
Pros:

Pulita, dotata di tutti i confort (tv, frigo, phone, lavanderia) vicino al lago e principali attrazioni. Personale molto gentile.

Cons:

Lunghe scale all’ingresso con basso soffitto, zona non molto sicura la sera (poi magari solo una mia percezione rispetto al resto delle città viste).
Ultima pecca è il conto, comunque pagato poco, ma colazione veniva 1850+2000, totale conto 4450.
Stessa cosa con albergo, pagato 7300, quando da Booking dovevo qualcosa meno…

Buena relación calidad precio. Ubicación muy buena.
Pros:

Buena ubicación, el personal muy agradable y dispuesto a ayudar. Me ayudaron a aparcar el tuk tuk y a bloquearlo para evitar indeseables.
La habitación era espaciosa y disponía de aire acondicionado y nevera, un baño amplio y moderno.

Cons:

Solo disfrutamos de agua caliente en la primera ducha que nos dimos al llegar el primer día. Los demás días no hubo manera de conseguir que saliese caliente, aunque fue un mal menor porque viene bien para refrescarse.
Las sábanas no me parecieron muy cómodas, se adherian al cuerpo con facilidad y era incómodo moverse en la cama.
Una cucaracha gigante vino a visitarnos la primera noche y la invitamos a irse amablemente.
Echamos de menos el hervidor de agua.

Good option for quick stop in Kandy
Pros:

Good location in central Kandy. Walking distance to main sites in town. Staff very friendly and give recommendations on sites to see. Room was very clean. Fridge in room and nice bathroom. Rooftop cafe with good breakfast.

Cons:

Worth mentioning that the stairs to the hotel are quite steep. It wasn’t a problem for us though it may be for some people.

Personal excelente
Pros:

El trato del personal. El desayuno. La habitación.

Cons:

Faltan perchas como en casi todos los hoteles de Sri Lanka. Se puede ir andando al centro, q no es interesante, pero con el calor no es agradable.

Pros:

I had a pleasant stay at Dumbara Peak Residence. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the city center, making it very convenient to visit the Temple of the Tooth, Kandy Lake, restaurants, and shops. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

One thing to note is that the hotel is not open 24 hours. Guests need to return before 10:30 PM every night, so it's worth planning your evening accordingly.

Overall, I had a great experience. If I have the opportunity to visit Kandy again, I would definitely stay here again.
