Pros:

Lage war super, um alles in der Stadt zu Fuß zu erkunden. Personal war freundlich

Cons:

Das Zimmer hat leider modrig/feucht gerochen. Abhilfe wurde leider nur durch Raumduft geschaffen. Upgrade war nur gegen Aufpreis möglich.

Brilliant view, great location.
Pros:

Comfortable bed, staff were lovely, views amazing and location. Breakfast was tasty. It was clean and great value for money will recommend.

Cons:

The hill to get to the hotel doesn't accommodate customers with large suitcases especially when wet.
Also clearer signs to the hotel is needed.

Pros:

Sweet little hotel with very comfortable, spacious and clean rooms, nice bathrooms with hot water. It's perched up on a hill overlooking the lake- we didn't get room with lake view- wish we had but i think it wasn't an otion for the family room.
The restaurant served a lovely breakfast buffet with lake views ( tried curd with honey for the first time and it was delicious!). The hotel is very well located within easy walking distance of Kandy town and all major attractions including the cultural dance which was at a hall just up the road.

Pros:

צוות אדיב, מיקום מעולה, ארוחת בוקר חמודה.

Cons:

יקר מדי מבחינת תמורה למחיר. זה מלון סבבה והכל אבל לא יותר מזה ועולה כמו מלון ברמה גבוהה מאוד.

Splendida vista sul lago
Cons:

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel per una notte con la nostra famiglia di quattro persone, insieme ai nostri due bambini di 8 anni e ci siamo trovati bene.

La posizione della struttura è uno dei suoi principali punti di forza: l'hotel gode di una splendida vista sul lago di Kandy e sul Tempio del Dente di Buddha. Attraverso una comoda scalinata, in pochi minuti è possibile raggiungere il centro della città, rendendo molto semplice visitare le principali attrazioni.

Il personale si è dimostrato estremamente gentile, cordiale e disponibile. Grazie alla loro cortesia, abbiamo avuto la possibilità di soggiornare in una camera con vista sul lago, dalla quale abbiamo potuto ammirare uno splendido tramonto con il Tempio del Dente di Buddha sullo sfondo: un panorama davvero suggestivo e indimenticabile.

La camera era confortevole e la colazione molto varia, con un'ampia scelta sia di specialità tipiche dello Sri Lanka sia di proposte internazionali, adatte a tutti i gusti.

Consigliamo questa struttura a chi desidera visitare Kandy soggiornando in una posizione panoramica, con un'accoglienza calorosa e un servizio attento alle esigenze degli ospiti.

Overall, the value for money was disappointing
Pros:

Room : spotless with a beautiful view on Kandy lake.

Location : great Kandy is very close by foot.

Cons:

Staff : they wanted us to pay at the check in which is uncommon for a hotel. Also we had a problem with our trip and had to cancel one night, they refused to discuss a reimbursement.

The pool was not as shown in the pictures.

The value for the money was disappointing.
