Vicky

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Food good, breakfast nice, although expensive. Swimming pool looked and prob was lovely but right next to restaurant with glass walls so a bit too public for us. Nice sitting area close to trees with monkeys passing through. Staff very courteous and helpful, they arranged an elephant safari for us the same afternoon we arrived. The hotel is quite far from any other hotels or sights - Sigiriya is about 40 mins - so there’s no walking to eat anywhere else but you could get a tuktuk.

Good place for a stopover

This hotel has nothing special and nothing bad. In fact, you get what you paid for. The room is large and clean, staff provide a good service (they helped us find a scooter during our stay, what we really appreciated). Other than that, the only point of improvement would be to better clean the pool and the area around the pool (chairs).

Grande chambre et sdb, bons repas

Hotel très isolé. Cadre bucolique avec rivière mais malgré tout sans moustique! Bon dîner et petit déjeuner.

Good location for Dambulla Caves

Very comfortable room, hotel has a modern and eco-friendly design & was a good location for visiting Dambulla Caves. Didn't reply to a website request for an airport transfer & unable to make the Sri Lankan curries on the dinner menu (said it would take too long) but otherwise good.
